Sa Pa Souvenir: gift shopping inside Sunset Town

Sa Pa Souvenir sits at 89 to 93 Amalfi, in the same building as Sa Pa Cafe, a 3-minute walk from Venice Hotel, open 07:00 to 20:00 daily. The shop belongs to Skyeth Group under the “Essence of Vietnamese Specialties” brand: products with clear origins and packaging designed for gifts, including corporate gifts.

You will find Phu Quoc specialties such as fish sauce, pepper, sim liqueur and dried seafood, as well as products from other regions that are hard to find on the island: ancient-tree Shan Tuyet tea and Suoi Giang tea from the northern highlands, brocade gift sets and small handcrafted figurines of the highland ethnic groups. Staff in H’Mong dress serve tea, help you choose gifts to your budget, take custom orders and deliver nationwide.

What to buy at Sa Pa Souvenir

For family: Shan Tuyet tea, Phu Quoc fish sauce in a gift box, whole peppercorns. For business partners: a brocade gift set or a tea box, beautifully packaged and available in bulk. For children: handcrafted figurines and small souvenirs that will not break.

Phu Quoc specialties to buy and how to choose

Fish sauce: look for the Phu Quoc geographical indication, 30 to 43 degrees of protein, and a plastic bottle if you are flying. 40,000 to 198,000 VND a bottle, gift boxes 175,000 to 495,000 VND. Pepper: large, even, fragrant and hot peppercorns, 125,000 to 195,000 VND per 500 g. Sim liqueur: choose bottles with the alcohol content stated, usually under 24 percent so it checks in freely, 150,000 to 500,000 VND a bottle.

Dried squid and dried shrimp: squid 600,000 to 1,200,000 VND per kg, shrimp 500,000 to 900,000 VND, choose dry pieces that are vacuum-packed. Dried tram mushrooms 150,000 to 200,000 VND per kg. Pearls: buy where a certificate is provided, jewellery from 500,000 VND.

VUI-Fest night market and Sunset Bazaar


The VUI-Fest night market on the beach, a 12-minute walk from Venice Hotel, sells dried seafood, dried fruit and souvenirs with live music every evening. Good for a stroll and small purchases, and ask the price first. Sunset Bazaar along the European-style street adds pastries and international brands. For items that need an invoice, gift packaging and a clear origin, come back to Sa Pa Souvenir.

Taking gifts on the plane

Fish sauce goes in checked baggage only, never carry-on: up to 3 litres per passenger, in plastic bottles with tight caps, taped, filled to no more than 95 percent, inside a sealed foam box. Alcohol under 24 percent has no limit, 24 to 70 percent is capped at 5 litres, above 70 percent is banned. Dried seafood should be vacuum-packed and sealed so it does not scent your luggage.

Sa Pa Souvenir packs to these standards when you say you are flying. If you would rather not carry anything, order home delivery via Zalo and it arrives within a few days.
