Sunset Town is a purpose-built seaside district in An Thoi, in the south of Phu Quoc, developed by Sun Group. It is free to walk around, and most people come from late afternoon for the Kiss Bridge, the sunset, dinner, the Vui-Fest night market and a big show over the sea. Plan on four or five hours, arriving around 16:30.
It is not an old town, and it will not teach you much about local life on the island. By day it can feel hot and empty. If you want quiet beaches or fishing villages, spend your time elsewhere and come here for one evening, or skip it.
Sunset, dinner and the show, with your own car home
Your own guide times the bridge and the show, and your car waits when the crowd looks for taxis. Every tour can be changed on request.

Sunset Town is a new resort town rather than a historic one. Its rows of coral, yellow and turquoise houses, its brick clock tower with a green spire and its stone arcades are all designed to look Mediterranean, and all of it was built in recent years. It sits on the south-west side of the island, next to the An Thoi cable car station, and it looks west over the sea, which is where the name comes from.
Local Vietnam, which writes independent guides to the island, calls it a place “made for tourism”, and that is the right way to come at it. Treat it like a seaside theme district with real hotels and restaurants, and it is good fun for an evening. Expect an old fishing town, and you will be disappointed.
What to do in Sunset Town
Most of what is worth doing fits into one long evening.
| Stop | What it is | Free or ticketed |
|---|---|---|
| Clock tower and streets | Coloured streets, stone arcades, a marble fountain | Free |
| Pompeii-style ruins | Columns and arches built for photographs, good in low sun | Free |
| Kiss Bridge | Two curved walkways of about 400 m each that stop about 30 cm apart | Ticketed, and may close around sunset |
| Vui-Fest Bazaar | Night market with food stalls and street performers | Free to walk |
| Symphony of the Sea | Jet skis, flyboards and fireworks, from about 19:30 to 19:45 last season | Ticketed |
| Kiss of the Sea | Water screens, lasers, fire and fireworks, around 21:00 | Ticketed |
| Hon Thom cable car | Nearly 8 km over the sea to Hon Thom island, from An Thoi | Ticketed |
Show names and times are set by the operator and can change, and Symphony opens a new season on 10 November 2026 with times still unpublished. Our Sunset Town evening tour covers the bridge, the streets, dinner, the market and Kiss of the Sea, with a pagoda on the way in.
How long to stay, and when to arrive
A quick look takes an hour or two. A proper evening takes four or five hours. Arrive around 16:30 and walk the Kiss Bridge first, because some 2026 schedules close it from 17:30 until about 20:15 for the evening shows. Then walk the streets, watch the sun go down from the waterfront, eat around 18:30, and stay for one show.
Sunset moves through the year, from about 17:40 in November to about 18:30 in July, so shift the plan to match. November to April is the dry season and gives you the best odds of a clear sunset. From May to October, afternoon cloud and showers are common.
How to get there and back
Sunset Town is about 35 to 50 minutes by car from Duong Dong or Long Beach, and about 20 to 30 minutes from Phu Quoc airport. Getting there is easy by taxi, Grab or hotel shuttle. Getting back is the harder part: after the last show, everyone looks for a ride at once, and the wait can be long. Sort out your return before the evening starts, or stay nearby.
If you would rather not plan the evening
Both days are private, door to door, and can be changed before you book.

Is Sunset Town free to enter?
Yes. There is no entrance fee for the town itself. You pay separately for the Kiss Bridge, the shows, the Hon Thom cable car and the water park, and food and drink cost more here than in Duong Dong.
Is Sunset Town good for families?
Yes, for an early evening. The fountain, the wide paved areas and the Symphony of the Sea show work well with children. There are slopes, stairs and long walks, and the last show ends at about 21:30, which is late for small children.
Is there a beach at Sunset Town?
There is a small beach, but it is not one of the best on the island. For swimming, Sao Beach and Khem Beach nearby are the better choices.
Can I do Sunset Town and the cable car on the same day?
Yes. The cable car runs from about 09:30, with the last car back around 17:30, so you can spend the early afternoon on Hon Thom, cross back by about 16:00 and still walk the bridge before any evening closure.
