A single person living comfortably — modern one-bedroom, mixed local and Western food, health insurance included — should budget around $1,190 per month. A local-style budget runs meaningfully lower, a premium expat lifestyle higher. Our free calculator personalises this for your household.
＋ What do apartments cost in Phu Quoc?
A furnished one-bedroom rents from roughly $400 per month, and modern condos sell around $2,000 per m². Gross rental yields are in the region of 6.0% before costs.
＋ Can foreigners buy property in Phu Quoc?
Foreigners can buy condos in licensed projects (up to 30% of a building's units), normally on a renewable 50-year ownership certificate. Land and landed houses are far more restricted. Our investor guides explain the rules — and we check foreign-quota availability before you commit to anything.
