If your group chat has been cycling between “Bali again?” and “where else can we go for a short trip?”, here’s one more option to toss into the mix. Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s resort island known for beaches, seafood and sunset vibes, is getting a new direct flight from Singapore starting 25th July 2026.
The new route will be operated by Sun PhuQuoc Airways, marking the first time a full-service airline is flying directly between Singapore and Phu Quoc. For travellers, that basically means your ticket already includes things like meals and checked baggage, instead of needing to add everything on separately later until the final price jumpscare appears.

Travellers flying from Singapore to Phu Quoc with the airline will also receive complimentary tickets to the Sun World Hon Thom Cable Car, one of the island’s more popular attractions known for its sea views.
Passengers can also get discounts of up to 30% for selected accommodation, dining, spa and entertainment options within Sun Group’s resorts and attractions in southern Phu Quoc.
If you’ve never heard of Phu Quoc before, think of it as Vietnam’s answer to a laid-back tropical escape. The island has been gaining traction among Singapore travellers thanks to its beaches, seafood, resorts, and visa-free entry for international visitors.

The biggest appeal is convenience. With direct flights under 2 hours and visa-free access, Phu Quoc is shaping up to be one of those easy getaway destinations where you can fly off on Friday and still be back in Singapore by Sunday night feeling semi-recharged.

Yes, Phu Quoc currently offers visa exemption for international visitors, including Singapore travellers.
Between the short flight time, included perks and beach resort vibes, Phu Quoc looks set to become another popular weekend getaway spot for Singaporeans hunting for a fuss-free holiday nearby. Whether you’re travelling for a romantic escape, family trip or just need a break from the endless cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat, this new route makes getting there a whole lot easier.
