Hon Mot Island lies in the Phu Quoc Special Zone, located to the northeast of the Pearl Island. The island is divided into two distinct areas: one side is ideal for snorkeling and coral viewing, while the other side features decades-old natural forest, offering visitors a refreshing and unique experience.
Amid the lively, bustling atmosphere of Phu Quoc, Hon Mot stands out with its serene, untouched beauty—quiet, gentle, and almost dreamlike. Situated near the well-known Bai Thom area and only 200 meters from Phu Quoc’s main island, Hon Mot is perfect for travelers who love nature, exploration, and peaceful landscapes.
During the rainy season, locals construct a small wooden bridge connecting to the island. In the dry season, when the tide recedes, visitors can walk across a natural sand pathway, experiencing the vastness of the sea and the refreshing, cool breeze unique to this area.
Sharing the same ecosystem as the rest of Phu Quoc, Hon Mot features emerald-green waters, lush vegetation, and ancient trees with striking shapes. Adding to its charm is the vibrant purple of beach morning glory, giving the island a fairy-tale beauty that captivates every visitor.
The island is tiny, with only one paved road that traces along the shoreline. Along this path are small wooden huts where visitors can rest, take photos, set up camps, or enjoy a seaside BBQ. Tourism here remains simple and undeveloped, making Hon Mot an ideal place for those seeking quiet moments and a deep connection with nature.
Hon Mot is also one of the few remaining local picnic and camping spots in Phu Quoc that has not been urbanized or crowded by tourists. Its untouched environment, peaceful atmosphere, and pristine beauty make it a rare gem for travelers wanting to experience the island as locals once did.
