But if unspoiled charms are what you're after, there's still time for you to check out the island and find out why the government finds it bankable in the first place (the international airport won't open until next year).
Phu Quoc is frequently touted one of Vietnam's most beautiful islands and the Bai Dai Beach, which squats in a Viet military area, is blissfully secluded with white sands and expansive vistas stretching to the horizon.
Meanwhile, Mui Ne Beach was ranked in 12 place on list 20 most idyllic beaches in Asia. Thrill-seekers will not want to miss out on Mui Ne, Vietnam's de facto adrenalin capital. It's famous for kite-surfing for its strong winds and clear skies and is also generally considered a prime surfing and wind-surfing spot. Mui Ne has looks, too -- parts of the beach consist of massive sand dunes, like a section of the desert crazily juxtaposed next to the sea.
Life's a beach, and in Asia, there's a whole lot of good living to be had. CNN's Travel researched and uncovered the top beach destinations to be found along the shores of this vast continent. Other beaches on the list by CNN Travel are Yunokawa (Hakodata, Japan), Patnem Beach (Goa, India), Tanjung Rhu (Langkawi, Malaysia) and Hikkaduwa (Sri Lanka), among others.
