Phu Quoc.
The Special Economic Zone island. Sun Group, Vinpearl and BIM Group dominate. Visa-free entry, deep resort-residential pipeline.
Editorial introduction
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island and one of the few corners of Southeast Asia with a genuinely deep, institutionally backed resort-residential pipeline. The Sun Group masterplan in the south, the Vinpearl pipeline in the north and the BIM Group estates around Bai Truong have created a market that runs from mid-market hotel-condo to nine-figure beachfront estate.
The buyer case here is structurally different from the city markets. Visa-free entry for most nationalities, a Special Economic Zone framework that simplifies foreign-owned business setup, and a hospitality-and-leisure economy that anchors year-round rental yield. The long-stay rental market is small but growing, driven by remote-working professionals and ASEAN-based second-home owners.
