A new global ranking has placed Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island at the top of winter‑sun destinations. The list used four weighted weather factors—daytime temperature, sunshine, rainfall and number of wet days—based on World Meteorological Organization climatological normals from 1991‑2020 for December‑February.

Phu Quoc enjoys an average high of about 31 °C between December and February, and receives roughly 7.8 hours of sunshine each day. These conditions make the island one of the warmest and sunniest spots in the Northern Hemisphere’s winter.

Rainfall is also low, with an average of only 30 mm per month and about 3.7 rainy days during the same period. The dry climate contributes to calm seas and comfortable humidity levels for outdoor activities.

The company behind the ranking noted that demand for winter travel is expanding beyond traditional beach resorts, as tourists look for warm weather together with cultural experiences, gastronomy, nature exploration and outdoor activities. Supporting this trend, Phu Quoc recorded 9.24 million visitors in the first ten months of this year, a 30 % increase from the previous year and above its full‑year target of 8.5 million.

Because the island combines reliable winter warmth with a growing tourism infrastructure, it offers a practical and enjoyable option for your cold‑season vacation. Whether you prefer relaxing on the beach or exploring local culture, Phu Quoc’s top ranking signals a destination worth considering.
