Singaporean news agency CNA has recently ranked Phu Quoc, voted world’s second most beautiful island, among top 25 must-visit destinations in 2025.
Phu Quoc ranked seventh, making it the only Vietnamese destination on the list and one of the few Asian locations, alongside Koh Samui (Thailand), Manila (Philippines), and Singapore.
The agency emphasized 2025 as the perfect time to embrace slow travel and prioritize sustainable tourism.
The list features a mix of emerging and well-known destinations that offer fresh experiences, including Osaka (Japan), Cairo (Egypt), Greenland, and Casablanca (Morocco).
To compile the rankings, CNA consulted experts and analyzed cultural and lifestyle trends, along with updates on flights, hotels, trains, and cruises.
With numerous small islands, a 150-kilometer coastline, and an expansive national park, Phu Quoc is the epitome of a tropical gem, CNA wrote.
Singaporean travelers now have even more reason to visit, as Scoot Airlines launched direct two-hour flights to Phu Quoc in December 2024.
Last year, Vietnam’s largest island, was ranked the world’s second most beautiful by readers of the American magazine Travel + Leisure, following the Maldives.
