Where is Sunset Town Located?
Sunset Town Phu Quoc is situated on the southwestern coast of Phu Quoc Island, specifically in An Thoi ward. It serves as the gateway to the Hon Thom archipelago and acts as a central hub for entertainment, luxury stays, and iconic architecture.
Perched on a sloping hillside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the town is roughly:
-
25 km from Duong Dong Center (the main island hub).

18 km from Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC).
How to Get to Sunset Town Phu Quoc
Reaching this “Mediterranean of Vietnam” is straightforward, whether you prefer the freedom of a motorbike or the comfort of a private car.
1. By Private Car or Taxi
This is the most convenient option for international tourists. You can easily book a Grab or a local taxi. The ride from Duong Dong takes approximately 40–50 minutes via the DT975 highway, a smooth and scenic road.
2. By Motorbike
For those seeking adventure, renting a motorbike for around 150,000 VND per day is a great choice. Simply follow the main highway southward. The road is well-paved and offers beautiful views of the island’s lush interior.
3. By the Free Shuttle Bus
Many major resorts and Sun World collection points offer free shuttle buses to Sunset Town. Check with your hotel concierge to see if a complimentary transfer to the Hon Thom Cable Car station is available.
Top Landmarks to Find on Your Map
Once you arrive, the town is very walkable, but keep these key landmarks in mind to navigate like a pro:
-
Hon Thom Cable Car Station: Located at the highest point of the town, this is your starting point for the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car journey.
-
The Kiss Bridge (Cầu Hôn): Situated right on the water’s edge, this iconic structure is visible from almost anywhere on the shoreline.
-
Infinity Square: The central gathering spot where the Kiss of the Sea and Symphony of the Sea shows take place every evening.
Navigating the Evening Magic
If you are visiting for the evening shows, it is best to arrive by 5:30 PM. This gives you enough time to enjoy the sunset at Kiss Bridge before the nighttime festivities begin.
The Kiss of the Sea show is located at the signature outdoor theater on the water, easily accessible via the main coastal road of Sunset Town. Follow the sounds of the Symphony of the Sea—the thrilling jet ski and flyboard performance—to find the heart of the action!
