Phuket was chosen as the most beautiful island in Southeast Asia. The second and third-ranking belonged to Koh Samui Island in Thailand and Bali in Indonesia.

This list of islands was compiled based on travelers' real experiences with natural sites, activities, beaches, hospitality, and so on.

Phu Quoc, the largest island in Vietnam, has gained increasing popularity among locals and foreign tourists. The island is best known for primitive stretches of beaches, an array of high-end hotels and resorts, fresh seafood, rich local cuisine, and fish sauce, a renowned condiment of Vietnamese people.
