Renting a 2-Bedroom Apartment in Phu Quoc Monthly: Prices, Areas, and What to Expect
A 2-bedroom apartment in Phu Quoc rents for $500–900 per month on a monthly lease — roughly 12,500,000 to 22,500,000 VND. That range covers an enormous spread of quality, location, and what is actually included in the price. This guide sorts it all out.
The most common renters for 2BR units are families with one or two children, couples who want a dedicated workspace (so each person isn't on a video call in the same room), and two friends or colleagues splitting the cost. Each of these scenarios plays out differently in terms of which area and which apartment type makes sense. I will walk through all three.
- Monthly price range: $500–900 (12,500,000–22,500,000 VND) depending on area and spec
- Typical size: 55–85 m², two bedrooms, 1–2 bathrooms, kitchen, balcony
- Best area for families: Long Beach or Ong Lang — beach access, pool, gated complex
- Best area for budget: Duong Dong — entry 2BR from $500/month, all services walkable
- What's usually included: WiFi, A/C, washing machine, kitchen, pool/gym access
- Electricity is almost always extra — budget $30–60/month for two A/C rooms

How Much Does a 2-Bedroom Apartment Cost Per Month in Phu Quoc?
The $500–900 range is real, and the gap between the low and high end is mostly explained by three things: which neighborhood you pick, whether the complex has a pool and gym, and whether you're renting in peak season (December–March) or low season (May–October).
Here is the honest breakdown by area, based on leases we have actually signed with tenants rather than OTA display prices:
| Area | 2BR monthly (peak) | 2BR monthly (low season) | Approx. VND/month | Pool/gym |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duong Dong | $500–650 | $420–550 | 12.5–16M VND | Some complexes |
| Long Beach | $550–750 | $450–620 | 14–19M VND | Most complexes |
| Ong Lang | $550–700 | $440–600 | 14–17.5M VND | Most complexes |
| Grand World | $700–900 | $580–750 | 17.5–22.5M VND | All complexes |
| Sunset Town | $650–850 | $530–700 | 16–21M VND | Most complexes |
One thing worth flagging: the monthly rate requires committing upfront. Virtually every owner in Phu Quoc wants one month's rent as a deposit, plus the first month's rent at signing. So budget for two months' cash outlay before your keys arrive. If that's tight, ask us — some owners accept a half-month deposit for guests with a solid booking history.

What Size Is a 2-Bedroom Apartment in Phu Quoc, Really?
Most 2BR apartments in Phu Quoc range from 55 to 85 m². A standard layout has two separate bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, an open kitchen-living area, and at least one balcony.
Units below 60 m² are compact — the bedrooms fit a double bed but little else. Units from 70 m² upward are genuinely comfortable for a family of four or two couples sharing. I would not put two couples in anything under 65 m² with only one bathroom unless everyone knows each other very well and has very forgiving schedules.
The 55–65 m² units are where most of the $500–600/month inventory lives. For $650–750+, you generally get 70–80 m² with two bathrooms, which is the threshold where a 2BR starts feeling like a proper home rather than a hotel suite with a bonus room.
What's Included in the Rent for a 2BR in Phu Quoc?
Most monthly 2-bedroom rentals include WiFi (typically 50–100 Mbps fiber), air conditioning in all rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, and access to pool and gym if the complex has them. Electricity is usually charged separately at the standard Vietnamese rate (around 3,000–3,500 VND per kWh). A/C-heavy usage in two rooms typically adds $30–60/month to the bill. Always confirm what is included before signing.
The kitchen is genuinely equipped — not a microwave and a kettle. Two- or four-burner hob (gas or induction depending on the unit), full-size refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, pots, pans, and a reasonable set of utensils. Cooking at home for a family saves $15–30 per day compared to eating every meal out, which adds up to $450–900 over a month. That math is one of the main reasons families consistently choose a 2BR over a hotel.
What is NOT typically included: laundry powder, cooking oil and spices (you buy these yourself at CoopMart), extra cleaning beyond the initial setup clean, and parking beyond one motorbike space. If you drive a car, ask explicitly — some complexes have covered car parking for an extra $30–50/month.
Running two air conditioners 8–10 hours a day adds roughly 40–70 kWh per day. At the standard rate of 3,000–3,500 VND/kWh, that is $60–120/month on electricity alone in hot months (March–May). If your budget is tight, ask whether the unit has a western-facing balcony — the afternoon sun in west-facing rooms pushes A/C usage significantly higher.
Which Area Has the Best 2-Bedroom Apartments in Phu Quoc?
Long Beach (Bai Truong) offers the best balance for most renters: 2BR apartments 5–15 minutes' walk from the beach, solid supermarket and restaurant options nearby, and prices from $550–750/month. Duong Dong is cheaper ($500–650/month) with the best walkable infrastructure but no beach in walking distance. Ong Lang has quieter 2BR units at $550–700/month with the beach literally outside the gate — the trade-off is fewer shops and a motorbike is essential.
Families with children — Ong Lang is consistently the first recommendation. The beach has a very gentle slope, minimal waves, and a calm environment that is genuinely safe for small kids. Several complexes have gated grounds and pools. Ong Lang is 20 minutes from Duong Dong by motorbike, which is a real constraint for daily shopping, but for families who rent a motorbike anyway it is manageable. If VinWonders and the safari park are on the agenda, the Vinpearl area on the northwest coast has 2BR units from $650/month and the theme park is 10 minutes away.
Couples working remotely — Duong Dong or Long Beach. The internet is reliable at 50–100 Mbps fiber in both areas. Duong Dong has the cheapest 2BR units and everything is walkable, which matters when you are working odd hours and need coffee, lunch, and a pharmacy all reachable on foot. Long Beach adds beach walks at the end of the workday at a slightly higher price. See the full monthly rent cost breakdown for detailed numbers by area.
Two friends or colleagues splitting — Grand World or Long Beach. The cost per person drops to $275–450 each, which makes a 2BR with pool and gym genuinely competitive with a studio. Grand World adds the entertainment complex as a bonus, though it is not for everyone — the evenings are lively until 23:00.
If you have not already read the studio apartment monthly rental guide, it is worth a look for comparison — particularly if one person in your group is considering going solo in a studio while the other takes a 1BR.
2BR vs. Studio or 1BR — Is the Extra Cost Worth It?
For a couple staying one month or longer, a 2-bedroom costs roughly 60–80% more than a studio but gives you a separate workspace, storage for luggage and groceries, and the option of a guest room. Many couples working remotely choose a 2BR so each person has a quiet room during calls. If budget is tight, a studio is fine for 1–2 weeks; beyond that, the extra space is worth the difference on a monthly rate.
The comparison with a 1BR is closer. A 1BR in the same complex typically runs $150–200/month less than a 2BR, and for most couples without children that difference is hard to justify unless you genuinely need the second room for work. The math changes entirely for families: a 2BR versus a 1BR for a family of four is not a luxury upgrade — it is the minimum you need to function.
One situation where people consistently underestimate the value of a 2BR: long stays of 3+ months. After six weeks in the same apartment, sharing a single room with a partner or child starts to matter in a way it does not during a two-week holiday. The additional $150–200/month for a proper second bedroom is one of the better quality-of-life expenditures available at this budget level.
Two people splitting a 2BR at $600/month each pay $300 — the same price as a solo studio in Duong Dong, but with a pool, gym, full kitchen, and their own private room. It is the best value arrangement on the island for people who can coordinate a travel companion. We have set up this arrangement for colleagues traveling together for work projects more than a dozen times.
Who a 2-Bedroom Monthly Rental Actually Suits
After eight years renting apartments on Phu Quoc, the 2BR renters who are consistently happy with the choice fit roughly three profiles:
Families with one or two children aged 2–14. This is the clearest case. The kids share a bedroom, parents have privacy, and the kitchen handles breakfast and the occasional dinner without resort pricing. The family apartment guide goes into more detail on specific complexes and what to look for.
Two remote workers who need separate quiet spaces for calls. Open-plan studios and even some 1BR units cause friction quickly when both people are on calls at the same time. A proper second bedroom with a door solves this completely. The investment pays for itself in reduced friction within the first week.
Two friends or a couple-plus-one splitting the rent. Three adults in a 2BR is tight but very workable for 1–2 months if the personalities are compatible. Budget math: $750 / 3 = $250 per person per month, including a pool and kitchen. That is genuinely cheaper than many hostels in Southeast Asia, with far more comfort.
Who should probably look elsewhere: solo travelers and couples who genuinely prefer simplicity and spend most of the day outside the apartment. A well-located studio or 1BR at $350–500/month will serve them better without the overhead of managing a bigger space.
Frequently Asked Questions
A 2-bedroom apartment in Phu Quoc rents for $500–900 per month on a monthly lease, depending on area and included amenities. Duong Dong and Long Beach entry-level 2BR units start around $500–600/month (roughly 12,500,000–15,000,000 VND). Newer complexes in Grand World or Sunset Town with a pool and gym run $700–900/month.

Always confirm what is included before signing.
Two couples can share comfortably in a 70 m²+ 2BR with two bathrooms — each couple gets a private bedroom and bathroom, and the living area is shared. Two families with children are tighter: it works for short stays (1–3 weeks) but the shared spaces get crowded over longer periods. In that case, adjacent studios or a 3-bedroom unit is a better fit. We have seen both arrangements work and fail — it really comes down to square footage and bathroom count.
For peak season (December–March), book a 2-bedroom monthly apartment at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Good 2BR units go quickly in December because families book them for the Christmas and New Year holiday period. In low season (May–October), 1–2 weeks' notice is usually enough, and there is more room to negotiate on price. We occasionally have last-minute availability even in peak season — message us on WhatsApp to check.
Yes — a proper kitchen is standard in 2BR apartments in Phu Quoc: two- or four-burner gas or induction hob, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, rice cooker, pots, pans, and basic utensils. This is one of the main reasons families and long-stay guests choose a 2BR over a hotel room. Cooking at home for a family saves $15–30 per day compared to eating every meal out, which adds up to $450–900 over a month.
Most 2-bedroom apartments in Phu Quoc can be booked for a minimum of 1 month to qualify for monthly pricing. For shorter stays (1–4 weeks), nightly rates apply — typically $25–50/night for a 2BR depending on area and season. Some owners accept 2-week minimums at a rate between nightly and monthly. The monthly rate is always the better deal: renting for 30 nights at the monthly rate is usually 30–40% cheaper than 30 individual nightly bookings.
A 2BR apartment is the most practical setup for a family with one or two children: the kids share one bedroom, parents have a private room, and there is a real kitchen for preparing food. Complexes in Long Beach and Ong Lang with pools and gated grounds are particularly well suited. For families prioritizing a theme park and safari, the Vinpearl area (northwest coast) has 2BR units from $650/month and VinWonders is 10 minutes away by motorbike.
