Wet days count daily precipitation totals of at least 1 mm, then average the monthly count across the ten years. Open-Meteo serves ERA5 on a roughly 0.25° grid; its returned grid point can differ slightly from the requested coordinates. These are model reanalysis averages, not a local station normal or forecast.

Choose an area first, then compare its hotels.
Bãi Sao is a south-east beach, Long Beach runs along the west coast south of Dương Đông, and An Thới is the gateway to the southern islands. The three areas mean different drives and beach access.

Before you book
A few January questions
Choose the coast before committing to excursions and transfer times.
Is January dry in Phú Quốc?
January is within the island's drier season in broad climate descriptions, but weather varies and the forecast should guide beach and boat plans.
Which Phú Quốc area is best in January?
Long Beach keeps Dương Đông services nearby. Bãi Sao and An Thới suit southern beach and excursion plans, but need more transfer planning.
Do these Phú Quốc hotels heat their pools in January?
The checked official hotel pages do not publish a pool heating schedule. Cassia lists three pools; My Lan's tourism-board listing does not list a pool. Confirm facilities directly.
Are boat trips from An Thới guaranteed in January?
No. Operators may adjust trips for sea or weather conditions. Confirm the pier, departure time and cancellation terms shortly before travel.
