Phu Quoc has quietly become a hotspot for world-class beach clubs Phu Quoc and poolside bars.
From a sprawling entertainment complex with a Venice-style canal, the island showcases diverse venues.
Moreover, it features surreal art installations on the sand, offering a mood for every visitor.
Additionally, I’ve spent weeks chasing sunsets and testing cocktails.
Here are nine spots worth your time. They range from the Grand World area to Sunset Sanato, including beach clubs Phu Quoc.
If you’re visiting Hon Thom Island, Sunset Town, or Grand World, these spots fit your itinerary. Plan to combine them with other stops.
🏛️ Grand World & Surroundings — Food, Beach Bars & Fire Shows
🍽️ Grand World Food Court — Banh Xeo, Coconut Ice Cream & Seafood by the Beach
The Grand World Food Court is a casual open-air dining area right by the water. It’s the kind of place where you can order from multiple stalls and share everything at the table. The banh xeo (crispy Vietnamese pancake) is a standout — freshly made, stuffed with shrimp and pork, and served with a mountain of fresh herbs. The coconut ice cream served in a real coconut shell is the perfect way to cool down after a hot day. There’s also a wide selection of fresh seafood, grilled meats, and local specialties. The food court is open from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily, and the beachfront seating lets you hear the waves while you eat.
🦞 Mai Hương Beachfront — Live Seafood & a Free Shuttle (But Read the Fine Print)
Mai Hương Beachfront is a seafood restaurant right on the beach in Grand World. The first thing you notice is the tank full of live seafood at the entrance — no guessing, just pick what you want and they’ll cook it fresh. The menu includes lobster, crab, mantis shrimp, and a variety of fish. The restaurant has both indoor air-conditioned seating and outdoor tables facing the water. It’s open from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, making it a good spot for dinner before or after the Grand World shows. The restaurant claims to offer a free shuttle to pick you up — but be aware that some guests report the return trip is not free. Best to confirm when you book, or just take a Grab back. The location is right next to the nightly water and laser show.
🍹 Ocean Vibes Beach Bar — Fire Dancers & Beanbags on the Sand
Ocean Vibes is one of those bars that doesn’t try too hard — just a stretch of beach with beanbags, cold drinks, and a view of the water. The bar sits right on the sand in Grand World, and the atmosphere is relaxed. No loud DJ, no dress code — just people sitting, talking, and watching the sunset. The beach faces west, so the sunset is spectacular. Fire dancers perform some nights, and the crowd is a mix of travelers and locals. Drinks are reasonably priced: fresh coconut (around 60k), mojito (150k–200k), beer (50k–80k). The bar is open from 10:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily. Best for: a chilled evening with friends, watching the sunset and fire show. Avoid if: you want a party — this is a laid-back bar, not a club.
✈️ Airwaves Beach Club — Where Planes Land Above Your Drink
Airwaves Beach Club opened in early March 2026 and quickly became a favorite. It sits on Long Beach, south of Duong Dong town, with two open floors, a pool facing the ocean, and a front-row view of the flight path to Phu Quoc airport. About a kilometer away, planes drop low over the sea, and from the club, you see them glide right above the water. Sunset is the best time — the sky turns orange, the music shifts, and a plane comes in every few minutes. The menu is solid: Airwaves Breakfast (219k), Bo Ne Signature (159k), cocktails (229k). Happy hour runs from 4–7 PM with buy-one-get-one-free cocktails. The club is open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM. For a full review, check out my Airwaves Beach Club guide.

🐘 Sunset Sanato — Surreal Art, Giant Elephants & Wood-Fired Pizza
🌅 Sunset Sanato — Dali’s Elephants on Stilts & the Best Sunset on the Island
Sunset Sanato is the most photogenic beach club on Phu Quoc. The first thing you see is the giant elephants standing on stilts in the water — huge sculptures, like something out of a Salvador Dali painting. They’re placed right on the shoreline, and from certain angles, they look like they’re walking into the sea. The whole place is designed for the sunset. The beach faces west, so the light is the main event. There are other installations scattered along the sand: the Stairway to Heaven, the Bird Nest, the Gate Keeper. You can walk between them, take photos, and watch the sky turn gold and pink. Entry is around 100,000 VND, which gives you access to the installations and the beach club area. The club is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Best for: Photographers, Instagrammers, and anyone who wants a dramatic sunset. Avoid if: You want a quiet, uncrowded beach — this is a popular spot.
🍕 Solar Pizza — Wood-Fired Pizza Right on the Sand Inside Sunset Sanato
Solar Pizza is a beachfront pizza and Italian dining venue located inside the Sunset Sanato complex. It serves wood-fired pizza, pasta, and cocktails in an open-air seaside setting. The restaurant has capacity for about 150 guests and offers a relaxed alternative to formal resort dining. The pizza here is the real deal — thin crust, slightly charred, with generous toppings. The location is right by the sand, making it an ideal place to enjoy a meal while watching the sky turn golden during sunset. Best for: A casual lunch or dinner with a view of the ocean and the famous elephant sculptures. Avoid if: You’re looking for fine dining — this is a relaxed, beachfront pizzeria.
