Phu Quoc Mediterranean is located in the South of Phu Quoc island, belonging to Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province. This area is adjacent to the Hon Thom cable car station, the starting point of the world's longest sea-crossing cable car route, connecting the mainland with the An Thoi archipelago.

With a "mountain-backed, sea-facing" terrain, the front of the town faces the blue sea, while the back is embraced by gentle rolling hills, creating a space that is both spacious and private. From the center of Duong Dong, visitors travel about 30 km to reach this area, convenient for sightseeing and resort trips in the South of the island.

Thanks to its rare coastal location and expansive view of the Phu Quoc sunset, this place has quickly become one of the prominent check-in and experience spots on Ngoc Island.

1.2. Why is it called Phu Quoc Mediterranean?

The name "Phu Quoc Mediterranean" originates from its characteristic architectural style inspired by Italy, with soft curved domes, arched windows, wide balconies, and vibrant colors stretching along the hillside facing the sea.

The overall space is reminiscent of European Mediterranean coastal towns, where colorful houses embrace the blue coast, creating a romantic and artistic scene.

In fact, before officially being named Sunset Town, this area was called Phu Quoc Mediterranean as a way to accurately describe the architectural spirit and experience it offers.
