According to the magazine, the top three winners include two destinations that need little introduction, the Maldives (No.1) and Indonesia's Bali (No.3). Sneaking in at No.2 is the under-the-radar Vietnamese island located off the country’s western shoreline in the Gulf of Thailand.
Describing Phu Quoc as an emerging tourism destination, the magazine said this is the island’s greatest strength. While several beaches in Southeast Asia are developed, Phu Quoc has aced out with an understated tranquility. However, it does not mean that visitors can’t stay in luxe accommodations with rooftop infinity pools, and suites with private pools.
