Welcome the new year by the sea, with fireworks blooming right outside your balcony.
Lunar New Year 2027 falls in the heart of Phu Quoc’s best dry season, when the sun is gentle, the sea is calm and sunsets are crystal clear. This guide brings together what families most often ask the Venice, Roma and Sakurakyo front desks before a Tet holiday: how Sunset Town celebrates, when the fireworks take place, how early to book and which hotel suits the whole family.
The first day of the Year of the Goat falls on Saturday, 6 February 2027, with New Year’s Eve on the evening of Friday, 5 February. For many families Tet is the one time of year everyone can take a long break together, and Phu Quoc in February answers with dry days around 26 to 29°C and a mirror-calm sea on the west coast. Cool mornings, golden afternoons and nights full of fireworks make a seaside Tet unlike any other.
How Sunset Town celebrates Tet
During Tet the whole town dresses in spring colours: lanterns hang along the streets, flower displays fill the squares and New Year photo corners appear around Kiss Bridge. These Vietnamese traditions blend with the sun-coloured Mediterranean facades, creating a festive setting that feels both familiar and new.
As the afternoon fades, the squares and main streets come alive with live music, dance and street performances for children. A gentle stroll from your hotel is all it takes to join the celebrations, with no crowds to fight through or long journeys during the busiest days of the year.
