How Much Does Food Cost in Phu Quoc? A Budget Breakdown
Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s most famous island, well-known for its breathtaking beaches and resort options. Although the prices here are generally a bit higher than those on the mainland, it remains a great destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Below is an overview of what you can expect to spend during your visit, with insights based on my experience during a week on the island.

Cost of Travel to Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc can be accessed via flight or a combination of bus and boat from Ho Chi Minh City. The flight is faster but typically more expensive, with return flights ranging from 2,800,000 VND (about 100 USD) if booked last minute. Alternatively, a bus and boat combination offers a more affordable travel option at around 10 USD (240,000 VND), but it takes longer to reach the island.
Accommodation Prices in Phu Quoc
Accommodation on Phu Quoc can be pricier than on the mainland, especially in the main tourist areas. Budget travelers can find guesthouses and hostels starting at 200,000 VND (8 USD) per night, while mid-range hotels may charge between 500,000 VND (20 USD) and 1,500,000 VND (60 USD) per night. For luxury resorts, prices can range from 1.5 million VND (60 USD) to several million VND per night depending on the exclusivity and services.
Dining and Food Costs
Phu Quoc offers a variety of dining options for all budgets. Street food and local eateries offer affordable meals such as pho, seafood, and banh mi starting at 30,000-50,000 VND (1-2 USD). Dining at mid-range restaurants will set you back around 100,000-200,000 VND (4-8 USD) per meal, while a meal at a high-end restaurant or resort could cost 300,000 VND (12 USD) or more.

Activities and Attractions
Most of Phu Quoc's top attractions, including its natural parks, beaches, and historical sites, are reasonably priced. Visiting popular spots like Vinpearl Safari, the Dinh Cau Temple, or the Dinh Cau Night Market typically costs between 150,000 VND (6 USD) and 300,000 VND (12 USD). Guided tours of the island or snorkeling excursions can cost around 500,000-1,000,000 VND (20-40 USD) depending on the length and activity.
Shopping and Souvenirs
Phu Quoc has plenty of souvenir shops where you can find locally made crafts, jewelry, and delicious spices. Expect to pay between 50,000-200,000 VND (2-8 USD) for most souvenirs. The prices may be higher if you're looking for more luxury items, such as imported goods or fashion.
While Phu Quoc offers a stunning tropical escape, the island's slightly higher prices are well worth the experience, especially when you consider its pristine beaches, natural beauty, and luxurious resorts. Whether you're looking to explore the island’s famous attractions, enjoy local cuisine, or unwind in high-end resorts, Phu Quoc delivers an unforgettable experience.
