Take a trip to Vietnam's Maldives, with cash to spare
Hop on a boat and cruise out to these island paradises if you want to get away from it all.
Phu Quoc Island welcomes more than a million tourists a year to its pristine beaches, food and year-round beautiful weather.
Vietnam's largest island is considered one of the most accessible and affordable getaways for Vietnamese and foreigners alike. It has an international airport, a 30-day visa-free policy, and is only a two-hour flight from Hanoi.
But due to the recent tourist boom, Phu Quoc can feel crowded and over-priced at times.
We headed to Phu Quoc and found newly-discovered islets that rival Maldives.
The best part? They're not expensive.
Dam Islet
Best place for a true getaway yet? Dam Islet. There is no internet, only solar power and a few bamboo and wooden cottages. Worry not, whether it's a day or a night, you won't be disturbed.

Mong Tay Islet
Mong Tay is close to Phu Quoc Island, a thirty-minute boat ride. The islet is also uninhabited, but you can still spend all day sunbathing, snorkeling and fishing.

May Rut Islet
Ten minutes from Mong Tay, May Rut is a quick must-visit.
Wild beauty.
Even more impressive with the greenish jungle.
Gam Ghi Islet
This July, a travel video of Vietnamese pop star filmed on Gam Ghi sent young travellers crazy: a transparent world of blue water, random rocks, colourful fish and coral reefs.
