Sunset Town Phu Quoc is a Mediterranean-style entertainment district in An Thoi, on the island’s southern coast. Admission to its public streets is free. The biggest attractions are Kiss Bridge Phu Quoc, the Kiss of the Sea evening production, the Hon Thom cable car departure station and VUI-Fest Bazaar. Allow 2–4 hours for the streets, sunset views and dinner, or a full day if combining Sunset Town with Hon Thom. Individual shows, the bridge and the cable car have separate ticket conditions.
The pastel façades, clock tower, arches and waterfront promenades make this a popular photography district. It is a planned tourism development rather than an old Mediterranean or Vietnamese fishing village. The atmosphere is often quieter in the morning and busier around sunset and ticketed evening performances. Outdoor show schedules and fireworks are weather-dependent.
Here’s everything you need to know, including the best time for photos and how to watch the fireworks without paying for a ticket.
Mediterranean Architecture — Pastel Walls, Arches & a Venetian Clock Tower
The color catches the eye first, with facades in yellow, pink, blue, and white lining the streets. Arched doorways, fountains, and Greek‑Roman statues add character to the walkways, and the colorful facades set a playful mood for visitors exploring the pedestrian streets.
The clock tower and blue-and-gold staircase are two of the Phu Quoc Mediterranean town photo stops, alongside the waterfront arches and terraced buildings. General access to the district’s public streets costs 0 VND. Tickets are needed for Kiss Bridge, the cable car and paid evening productions; restaurants and some viewpoint services charge separately. For a budget evening, walk the free waterfront, eat at VUI-Fest Bazaar and watch fireworks from a public viewing area when the shows operate.
The area was built by Sun Group as part of the Hon Thom Island development, designed to complement the island’s other attractions. If you’re visiting Hon Thom, you’ll pass through Sunset Town to reach the cable car station, so it’s easy to combine both in one day.
Kiss Bridge — 800 Meters, a 30cm Gap & a Legend
Kiss Bridge is the symbol of Sunset Town.
It stretches 800 meters in total from end to end along the bay. Two halves reach toward each other from opposite sides of the bay, stopping just 30 centimeters short of touching as a graceful architectural statement for visitors to appreciate.
Designed by Italian architect Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati, it opened in 2023 and won the Silver Award at the DFA Design Awards in Hong Kong in 2025. The bridge’s distinctive form has become a signature feature of the waterfront.
Designer Marco Casamonti’s two curved bridge sections approach one another without touching. Their gap, approximately 30 cm, creates the signature photo composition. The design is often linked to Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam and regional romantic folklore. This is a public landmark, not an invitation to step across the gap: remain behind safety barriers and follow staff directions.
The operator has published a Kiss Bridge regular ticket at 200,000 VND for visitors 1.40 m and taller, 150,000 VND for children 1.00–1.40 m, and free admission under 1.00 m. Some ticket resellers list lower promotional or time-specific prices, so the selected ticket’s validity window matters. A Hon Thom or show combo may include one visit to the bridge, but do not assume this applies to every product. Do not promise bridge access at sunset: some schedules show a closure around 17:30–20:15. Use the free waterfront promenade or arches for sunset photos if the bridge is closed.
Two Shows, One Night — Symphony of the Sea & Kiss of the Sea
After dark, Sunset Town turns into a stage for two large‑scale performances, both worth seeing, and the timing is designed so you can catch both in one evening.
Symphony of the Sea combines jet skis, flyboards, lighting, music and fireworks in the Sunset Beach area. The previous season used an evening slot around 19:30–20:05, with individual tickets advertised at 660,000 VND. That is a previous-season reference, not a guaranteed ticket for every date. The operator has announced Season 3 starting 10 November; use the new season’s operating calendar and selected ticket before making a precise schedule or price promise.
Update: the announced start date for Symphony of the Sea Season 3 is 10 November. A performance scheduled for a future season should not be presented as already operating. A new programme can change show duration, seating arrangements and ticket packages, so distinguish confirmed dates from prices for earlier seasons.
Kiss of the Sea is a multimedia show with water screens, projection, performers, fire and a fireworks finale. The current published adult admission reference is 950,000 VND; children under 1.00 m are listed as free. The show generally starts at 21:00 and lasts approximately 30 minutes. Avoid assuming that any particular day, especially Tuesday, is guaranteed: official and reseller timetables differ, and outdoor productions can be rescheduled for weather.
Combo tickets are available:
- Two-show combination: published standard reference 1,200,000 VND per person. A lower 1,165,000 VND deal appeared in a time-limited promotion and is not the regular guaranteed rate.
- Kiss of the Sea for two: do not count on a fixed 1,500,000 VND couple price unless the exact two-person product is on sale on the booking date.
- Bridge inclusion: check the specific voucher rather than assuming every cable car or show fare covers Kiss Bridge.
Children under 1.00 m are listed as free for the Kiss of the Sea programme. Other child-height categories and inclusions differ by product; check the exact voucher. Refund and rescheduling conditions depend on the ticket contract and operator policy. Do not assume a bridge visit is included unless the chosen package explicitly states it.
You can book online or at the ticket counters in Sunset Town. Arrive 30–40 minutes early for the best seats.
You can check current ticket deals on Trip.com before you go.

| Public Sunset Town streets | Free | Clock tower, staircases, promenade and architecture |
| Kiss Bridge | 200,000 VND from 1.40 m; 150,000 VND from 1.00–1.40 m; under 1.00 m free | Operator-published standard price; promotions and access windows can differ |
| Kiss of the Sea | 950,000 VND adult | About 21:00, 30 minutes; under 1.00 m free; schedule weather-dependent |
| Symphony of the Sea | 660,000 VND previous-season reference | Season 3 announced for 10 November; new terms may differ |

Prices are in VND and refer to different ticket products; they must not be added together if a combo already includes an attraction. For example, two separate Kiss of the Sea tickets at 950,000 VND each cost 1,900,000 VND, whereas a 1,500,000 VND couple package is cheaper only if that specific offer is actually on sale. Sunset Town’s public streets have no admission fee.
Where to Eat & Drink with a View
Sunset Town has several spots where you can eat, drink, and watch the shows without standing in the crowd.
Hien Nha Veranda is a terrace facing the water.
It has a direct view of the Kiss of the Sea stage and fireworks.
The crispy pizza is the standout dish.
It has a thin crust, is well-charred, and has generous toppings, and it’s open until 11:30 PM — which lets you eat, stay for the show, and take your time. Budget: pizza ~200–300k, drinks ~80–150k.
Times Corner is a multilevel spot. It offers a breakfast buffet (159k, 6:30–10 AM) and a BBQ seafood buffet dinner (499k, 5–9 PM). A rooftop bar also provides a direct view of the 9:30 PM fireworks.
If you’re staying nearby, it’s a solid choice for a full evening. Open hours start at 5 PM and continue late. The breakfast buffet is listed at 159k and runs 6:30–10 AM. The BBQ seafood buffet dinner is 499k and runs 5–9 PM. Prices are shown in parentheses above for each item. This makes Times Corner a convenient option for an evening out.
Loop Jacuzzi Bar is the novelty option. You can watch the fireworks from a warm jacuzzi with a drink in your hand. The music is loud, the atmosphere is lively, and the view is direct. Viewing the show costs an extra 300,000 VND per person on top of drinks.
Happy hour is buy-one-get-one on beer, but you can’t share one order between two people. Each person must order their own drink. Open at 5:00 PM with cocktails around 150–200k and beer around 100–120k. Plan ahead for seating and the limited view during peak times.
Practical Tips for Sunset Town
- 🌅 Best time to visit: 4:30–6:00 PM. The light hits the pastel buildings and turns everything gold.
- 🚐 Shuttle service between southern Phu Quoc resorts and Sunset Town varies by operator, route and season; confirm the latest pickup and last departure with your hotel rather than assuming a free hourly service.
- 🎟️ Public waterfront access is not the same as access to a commercial beach club or show zone. Sunset Beach venue rules can change for rehearsals and paid performances.
- 🎆 Fireworks usually accompany scheduled evening shows, including the Kiss of the Sea finale around 9:30pm, but are subject to production schedules and weather. Free views may be possible from public waterfront areas; exact sightlines vary.
- 📸 Best photo spots: Kiss Bridge during sunset, the blue-and-gold staircase, and the clock tower.
- 🚠 Hon Thom Cable Car station is right inside Sunset Town — it’s the world’s longest sea‑crossing cable car.
Sunset Town Phu Quoc: Realistic Afternoon and Evening Itinerary
- 16:00: Arrive in An Thoi; explore the clock tower, Mediterranean façades, blue-and-gold staircase and open streets.
- 16:45: Photograph the waterfront arches and browse VUI-Fest Bazaar, advertised from 16:00 to midnight.
- 17:30–18:30: Watch sunset from a free public viewpoint. Do not count on Kiss Bridge being open at this time because some ticket schedules specify a closure.
- 18:30: Eat dinner in Sunset Town; allow at least 60 minutes if you have a seated show reservation.
- 19:30: If Symphony of the Sea is operating on your chosen date, follow the voucher’s entry time; its announced new season begins on 10 November.
- 20:20: Go to the Kiss of the Sea venue and allow time for checks and seating.
- 21:00–21:30: Watch Kiss of the Sea and the finale if the show is running.
- After 21:30: Return to the hotel by pre-booked taxi or chosen transport; do not rely on a free late-night shuttle.
Hon Thom Cable Car Sunset Town: Add a Full Day
The Hon Thom cable car departs from the An Thoi/Sunset Town area. Plan the cable car and Aquatopia during their daytime operating windows, then return to Sunset Town before dinner. A standard cable car ticket has been published at 850,000 VND adult or 700,000 VND for children 1.00–1.40 m tall. Paid dinner and evening shows are additional unless a specific combo states otherwise.
Final Verdict
Sunset Town is a purpose-built tourist district, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Nevertheless, the architecture is photogenic and the shows are impressive. The sea setting helps it work.
Come for the Sunset Town Phu Quoc waterfront, Mediterranean-style architecture and one of the ticketed shows, or enjoy the public streets free of charge. If you visit Hon Thom, take the cable car earlier in the day and return before its final departure, then continue with dinner and a show in Sunset Town. The two areas work well together because the cable car station is within the district, but tickets and show times are separate.
Where to Stay & What to Pair It With
Sunset Town Phu Quoc hotels suit visitors who prioritise the southern entertainment district, late fireworks and walking access to the Hon Thom departure station. For a resort beach stay, compare Khem Beach and Bai Sao, which are separate areas requiring transport. Staying near Duong Dong or Long Beach offers more general island dining and nightlife but means a longer trip to An Thoi. Pick the hotel location based on the number of Sunset Town evenings you expect to attend.
You’ll find options from budget guesthouses to luxury resorts nearby. You can also check hotels in Phu Quoc to compare prices and read guest reviews. For a broader overview, I’ve compiled guides to the best hotels, beachfront resorts, and luxury stays.
In the same An Thoi area as Sunset Town, Premier Residences Phu Quoc Emerald Bay sits near Khem Beach, a sheltered southern beach, and has a kids’ club for ages roughly 6 to 12.
For a longer stay, combine a Sunset Town evening with Hon Thom Island, southern Phu Quoc beaches or a separate trip to Grand World in the island’s north.
Where to Stay: Sunset Town Phu Quoc Hotels and Nearby Areas
| Base | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Sunset Town, An Thoi | Shows, walking to the cable car, sunset photography | Purpose-built district; some daytime streets can feel quiet |
| Khem Beach | Beach resorts and relaxed resort stays | Separate road transfer to evening shows |
| Bai Sao | Beach-focused day trips | Not within walking distance of Sunset Town |
| Long Beach / Duong Dong | Wider selection of restaurants, shops and island connections | Need a taxi/car ride to An Thoi for an evening show |
Hotel prices vary heavily by season, property and room type. Filter accommodation results for the precise An Thoi / Sunset Town map area rather than assuming every property labelled “Phu Quoc” is close to the cable car.
