Phu Quoc Airport to Ganh Dau: How to Get There
By Ngo Thu Thuy (Jenny), founder of Anamoi Villa · Updated
Ganh Dau is a quiet fishing village on the north-western tip of Phu Quoc, far from the busy resort strips in the south. Getting there from the airport is simple, but it is a longer drive than to the island’s main town, so it pays to plan the transfer, especially if you are arriving as a group or late in the evening.
The short answer
Ganh Dau is about 45 minutes by car from Phu Quoc International Airport, depending on traffic. The easiest options are a Grab car or a taxi from the arrivals area; groups with a lot of luggage are better off pre-booking a private car or van. For guests staying at La Perla, we can also arrange an airport transfer with a 7-, 16- or 26-seat vehicle.
Your options from the airport
| Option | Good for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Grab car | Couples, families, small groups | Book in the app after you land; Grab and taxis are easy to find at the airport |
| Taxi | Anyone without the Grab app | Take one from the official taxi rank at arrivals |
| Pre-booked private car or van | Groups of 7 or more, lots of luggage, late arrivals | Everyone travels together; La Perla guests can ask us to arrange a 7-, 16- or 26-seat vehicle |
| Rented motorbike | Not recommended on arrival | Hard with luggage, and the roads in the north are dark at night |
If you are staying at Anamoi La Perla, tell us your flight number and group size when you book and we can arrange a transfer with a 7-, 16- or 26-seat vehicle, so even a large family or group arrives together. Whoever picks you up, share your flight number so the driver can track delays.
What the drive is like
Phu Quoc is a long island and the airport lies south of Duong Dong, so the route heads north, past Duong Dong, the island’s main town, and then through quieter countryside to the north-western tip. Allow about 45 minutes; it can take longer at busy times.
The closer you get to Ganh Dau, the quieter the road becomes. That is exactly why people come here — calm beaches and sunsets over the sea — but it also means fewer street lights after dark. If you land late in the evening, a pre-booked car is the most relaxed way to arrive.
Stopping on the way
If you plan to cook or have a BBQ on your first night, it can help to buy groceries in Duong Dong on the way — just ask your driver to stop. At Anamoi La Perla, our team can also help set up the BBQ on request.
Arriving at the villa
Check-in at Anamoi La Perla Phu Quoc is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM. If your flight lands early or leaves late, booking direct gives you free early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability — just tell us your flight times when you book.
Getting around once you are in Ganh Dau
Ganh Dau is close to the big days out in the north of the island: Starfish Beach at Rach Vem, Vinpearl Safari, VinWonders and Grand World are all a short drive away. Grab works here too, and for a group day trip a car with a driver keeps everyone together. If the Hon Thom cable car or island-hopping in the south is on your list, plan a full day for it, as it is on the other end of the island.
