Area guide Ham Ninh, Phu Quoc

Ham Ninh through the eyes of a long-time resident

From transport to prices, here is what you should know before choosing Ham Ninh as a place to live.

Overview

Ham Ninh is on the island of Phu Quoc, near roads such as Hàm Ninh and Nguyễn Trung Trực. Life moves more slowly than on the mainland, many homes serve holidays and short lets, and long-term residents mostly work in tourism.

Getting around

Most residents use a motorbike or an electric buggy; distances between places on the island are long, so having your own transport matters. The airport is not far from the main residential areas.

Daily life

Markets, seafood restaurants and supermarkets cluster in the main settled parts of Ham Ninh. There are hospitals and schools but not many, so families with young children should look into them carefully before settling long term.

Prices

Apartments here are typically listed for sale at around 53 to 88 million dong per m², and let by the month for about 9 to 28 million dong depending on size and furnishing. These are reference levels from the listings only; the real price also depends on the building, the floor and the orientation.

Who it suits

This area suits long-stay holidaymakers, remote workers and long-term investors. When you view homes, this list can help you compare them:

  • View at rush hour to learn the noise level and the traffic.
  • Ask clearly about the management fee, utilities and parking costs.
  • Check the legal papers and the ownership term before paying a deposit.
