Phú Quý Island, also known as Cù Lao Thu, is a small island district located in Bình Thuận Province, about 56 nautical miles southeast of Phan Thiết. Phú Quý has recently emerged as a shining gem among popular check-in spots due to its rare tranquility and rustic charm, as well as its beautiful location right by the poetic Triều Dương Bay.
If you're a fan of the Korean drama "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" and are captivated by the fishing village setting where the charming dentist Yoon Hye Jin falls for the endearing Du Sik, then Phú Quý will be the perfect "peaceful Gongjin version" to satisfy your nostalgic longing.
Phú Quý Island is located in the South Central Coast region, making the best time to visit from December to June, with the most beautiful period being April, May, and June.
