Sunset Town Phu Quoc: Complete Guide to the Mediterranean Town

As the afternoon light turns gold, Sunset Town Phu Quoc lights up like a slice of the Italian coast dropped onto a tropical island. Set at Ong Bon Cape in the south of Phu Quoc and facing the Gulf of Thailand, this Mediterranean-style town is home to the iconic Kiss Bridge, colourful shophouse streets, the world’s longest sea cable car and the most beautiful sunsets on the island. This Rooty Trip guide covers everything you need: what to see, when to go, how to get there, where to eat and stay, and tips for your visit.

What is Sunset Town?

Sunset Town (Thị trấn Hoàng Hôn) is a purpose-built Mediterranean-style town on the southern tip of Phu Quoc, designed to look like a coastal village in Italy – think Sorrento and Positano, with red-tiled roofs, arches, fountains and winding streets on a hillside above the sea. It’s free to walk around, endlessly photogenic, and best experienced in the late afternoon and evening.

• Location: Ong Bon Cape, An Thoi, south Phu Quoc (facing the Gulf of Thailand)

Why visit Sunset Town

Sunset Town packs several of Phu Quoc’s biggest highlights into one walkable area.

The Kiss Bridge (Cầu Hôn)

The town’s icon: two curved arms reaching toward each other over the sea, almost touching — a symbol of romance and love. It’s breathtaking at golden hour and one of the most romantic spots on the island. To skip the queue and catch the best light, book your Kiss Bridge sunset ticket online. (Planning something special? See our guide on where to propose in Phu Quoc.)

Mediterranean streets and photo spots

Venice Clock Tower

The whole town is a photo studio. Highlights include the 75 m Venice Clock Tower (inspired by St. Mark’s Campanile), the Roman-style An Thoi Station square with giant bronze statues, the recreated Pompeii ruins, the 1.5 km tiled Ceramic Road, the flower-lined Dragon Stairs, the Gavi Arc de Triomphe, and Bill Bensley’s Mediterranean-castle Sun Signature Gallery.

The Hon Thom cable car

Sunset Town is the departure station for the Hon Thom cable car – a Guinness-recognised sea-crossing cable car of nearly 7,900 m. Many visitors ride it to Hon Thom island and the Aquatopia water park by day, then return to Sunset Town for the evening. Check cable car tickets here.

Sunsets, the infinity pool and shows

The best entertainment venue in Phu Quoc Sunset Town – Teatro Club

The infinity pool below the clock tower seems to spill into the sea – a dreamy sunset spot. In the evening, catch the Kiss of the Sea multimedia sea show, or head to Teatro Club for live music and nightlife.

Best time to visit Sunset Town

Come in the late afternoon: you’ll have daylight for photos, then the sunset, then the lit-up streets and evening shows. The dry season (November-April) offers the clearest skies and calmest seas for the best sunsets, though the town is worth visiting year-round.
