The article is structured as a month by month travel guide, selecting 12 destinations that correspond to the most beautiful periods of the year, based on a combination of weather conditions, landscapes, and distinctive cultural experiences.
According to The Korea Heraldthe beauty of most destinations truly comes alive only at specific moments, and choosing the right timing is the key to a fulfilling journey.
As South Korea enters its harsh winter at the start of the year, journeys in search of warmth become a top priority.
Phu Quoc, therefore, emerges as an appealing recommendation thanks to weather conditions considered ideal in January.
The Korea Herald emphasizes: “While some destinations can be visited year round, most places around the world have clear seasonality, where their beauty and appeal are fully revealed only at certain times of the year.” From this perspective, Phu Quoc’s inclusion for the early months is no coincidence, but rather a reflection of the island’s unique natural advantages during this period.
Although Phu Quoc is often described as a year round destination, the beginning of the year is when the island gathers its most favorable conditions.
This is the period when Phu Quoc enters the most stable peak of the dry season, with gentle golden sunshine, low humidity, and calm, mirror-like seas. Balanced weather creates an ideal foundation for outdoor leisure and exploration, experiences that Korean travelers particularly favor during seasonal getaways.
Phu Quoc Island, voted Asia’s most beautiful by readers of Condé Nast Traveler, expects to welcome 8.5 million tourists this year, a 5% increase from 2025.
The island also aims to attract 2 million foreign visitors, up 11% year-on-year.
The island experienced a strong tourism year in 2025, receiving 8.1 million visitors, including 1.8 million foreigners.
