Vong Islet (Hon May Rut Trong) is one of the most beautiful islands in the An Thoi Archipelago, located in Hon Thom Commune, Phu Quoc Special Zone, An Giang Province. Lying to the south of Phu Quoc Island, it is a must-visit destination on every island-hopping journey, especially the popular 4-island and 5-island tours.
Blessed with rare natural beauty, Vong Islet appears like a shimmering emerald gem in the middle of the ocean, boasting crystal-clear turquoise water, long stretches of soft white sand, swaying coconut palms, and an exceptionally refreshing sea breeze. It is also one of the best spots in southern Phu Quoc to admire both sunrise and sunset in their most pristine form.
Beyond its stunning scenery, Vong Islet is known for its vibrant marine ecosystem with diverse fish species, colorful coral reefs, and various shellfish. Visitors can join local fishermen for a hands-on fishing experience and enjoy freshly prepared seafood such as sea urchin, scallops, jumping snails, cobia, grouper, and herrings—cooked right on the island.
The island offers countless photogenic corners, from unique rock formations to beachfront swings, wooden bridges, and the iconic May Rut hammock. Thanks to its location surrounded by multiple islets, the sea around Vong Islet is calm, shallow, and incredibly clear—making it perfect for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), swimming, and especially snorkeling. Its coral system is among the best in Phu Quoc, featuring dense, vibrant coral beds located very close to the surface.
With its harmonious combination of breathtaking scenery, exciting sea activities, and rich biodiversity, Vong Islet (Hon May Rut Trong) stands out as an essential stop in any southern Phu Quoc itinerary. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or thrilling water sports, the island delivers a complete and unforgettable beach-paradise experience—peaceful, vibrant, and full of tropical charm.
