Phu Quy Island in the southern province of Binh Thuan has been hailed as one of the most beautiful islands in the East Sea by readers of US news site CNN. And there are more good reasons to explain why the island is being crowned as the best seaside retreat by young travellers.
Located 120km from the resort town of Phan Thiet, Phu Quy is not big or crowded like its better-known counterparts Phu Quoc and Nam Du islands.
There are no tourist traps or anxious tourists here, which helps the secluded island retain the untouched beauty of its long, sandy beaches and turquoise sea.
