Khem Beach Phu Quoc photoshoot guide

Khem Beach in the south of Phu Quoc is often chosen by families who want a peaceful, beautiful and truly resort-like setting without the hustle and bustle. Here, there is pleasant light sand, lots of fluffy slender palm trees and, in general, the coastline looks neat and private. Photos taken on this beach are clear and capture the atmosphere of a tropical resort - just what many travellers dream of. 

This article is intended as a simple guide to shooting at Khem Beach. I will tell you when the light is most beautiful here, how a photo shoot usually goes, what to wear, how to get there, and how to combine the beach with walks in the south of the island. The photos you will see below were taken at New World Phu Quoc Resort on Khem Beach.

This beach has a rare quality - it looks expensive even without trying. The backgrounds here are calm, the coastline is clean, and the atmosphere encourages you to just be yourself. Children can run around by the water, parents can hug and laugh, and it won't look staged. On the contrary, the shots usually turn out lively and light.

If you are staying at New World Phu Quoc Resort or another hotel located on this beach, it becomes even easier. All the logistics are literally right there. You can calmly get ready, grab some water, toys or snacks, change into comfortable clothes and not worry about a long journey. In a family photo shoot, such little things make a big difference.

At Khem Beach, the most pleasant light begins after lunch. But there are nuances.

Morning is a good time for shooting, as there are fewer people and the sea is calmer, still seemingly sleepy. The beach has just been cleaned and looks neat.

After 2 p.m. From this time onwards, the light becomes softer and skin tones appear more even. The beach begins to play with half-tones, and the images are no longer sharp. This is a good time for walks, portraits, and scenes with children, which you don't want to rush.

Before sunset. As sunset approaches, the atmosphere changes. The shadows become longer, the air warmer, the sea slightly darker and deeper, and the sky is painted with bright colours. At this time, photographs become more dramatic, and many travellers dream of these very shots from their holidays - happy portraits on the beach with palm trees at sunset, where everything around is bathed in warm sunset light.

❗️ But Khem Beach is located on the east coast of Phu Quoc, and you simply cannot see the falling sun here, just its reflection in the sky. 

This is a good format if you want a quick, easy photo shoot without complicated rearrangements. One look, one relaxed route, minimal breaks. Usually, in an hour, we manage to build a solid foundation: general shots, portraits, family in motion and static shots all together.

For families, 2 hours is almost always better. Not because you need more shots at any cost, but because the shoot becomes more comfortable. Children have time to get used to it, parents relax, and naturalness appears. You can take short breaks, change accessories or add a second outfit, and most importantly, take your time. As a result, the series turns out to be richer in both emotion and variety.

If you are looking for a khem beach phu quoc photoshoot as an idea for a family holiday, I would focus on 2 hours. It's not a race, but a beautiful time together on the beach.

I usually choose locations so that they alternate in mood. Then the series looks complete, but not monotonous.

• The Khem Beach coastline is ideal for walks, playing by the water, and shots with wind and freedom.
• The peaceful green areas and paths near the villas are perfect for portraits and resort-style shots.
• The area around the villa or private pool is especially convenient for families when they need to take a break or change their child's clothes. 

Shooting in such places explains why the search query ‘khem beach phu quoc photographer’ often brings people here. The beach is beautiful, and the conditions for families are really convenient.

The south of the island is nicely set up. It's easy to mix a chill beach day with an evening stroll without wasting half the day travelling.

A common plan is to chill at Khem Beach during the day, swim, walk on the sand, and catch the beautiful light after 2 p.m. Then, closer to evening, you head to Sunset Town.  See the photoshoot in Sunset Town here ➡️

There, you can walk along the promenade, admire the architecture, visit the VUI-Fest Bazaar, grab some ice cream or dinner, and simply soak up the lively atmosphere of the south. Or you can have an evening photoshoot right on Walking Street.

It can also be the other way around. If you live in Sunset Town, many people leave for Khem Beach during the day precisely for the tranquillity of the beach. It's a simple exchange of experiences: in the morning and afternoon, the sea and sand; in the evening, walks and city lights.

Another option for an active day is to first go to An Thoi and take the cable car to Hon Thom, then return to the mainland south and end the day at Khem Beach at one of the local beach clubs. This makes for a busy but not tiring day.

For tourists, and especially for families, there are usually three convenient options:

Taxi
Simple, comfortable, no unnecessary decisions. Suitable if you have children or luggage. The easiest way to call a car is through the GRAB mobile app or by asking at the lobby of your hotel.

Private driver
A good option if you want a half-day itinerary: Khem Beach, then Sunset Town, then dinner. 

Renting a motorbike or car
Suitable for those who feel confident on the road. In the south, it is convenient to drive between locations, especially if you plan to make several stops.

If you are staying at New World Phu Quoc Resort on Khem Beach, it is even easier: the beach is literally next door, and you can go out to take photos without feeling like it is a separate, complicated undertaking. It is even easier to call the hotel's club car, and it will take you from your villa to the beach quickly.

Clothing accounts for half the result. And not expensive clothing, but well-thought-out clothing.

It looks best when the family is dressed in the same style or when the colours match. This can be very subtle: similar shades, the same type of fabric, a calm colour palette. Then the photos look cohesive, neat and visually expensive.

• Long dresses and light skirts
• Pareos and airy capes
• Loose shirts
• Fabrics that move beautifully in the wind

• black, as it often weighs down a beach photo
• prints that are too bright and garish
• large lettering and contrasting logos

• Sun umbrellas
• Fans
• Straw hats
• Pareos that can be tied beautifully or held in your hands
• Beach toys for children
• Or a bright inflatable ring if you are wearing beachwear
• coconut - the best tropical accessory and always a timely snack for a child 

These details add texture and movement. And at Khem Beach, where the light is especially good and there is almost always a breeze, it works just great.

It usually starts off easy. I help with simple tips, but I don't turn the shoot into endless commands. We walk, talk, the kids play, the parents hug. Sometimes a couple of phrases are enough to make the pose natural and the gaze lively.

In a 1-hour photoshoot, we keep a steady pace and capture the most powerful moments.

In a 2-hour shoot, the shoot unfolds more gently. There are pauses, mood changes, more details, more real family warmth.

If you are looking for a Khem Beach Phu Quoc photoshoot as a beautiful holiday experience, then the goal is not just to get pictures, but to have a good time. Khem Beach is particularly good for this.

Khem Beach is one of the most pleasant beaches in Phu Quoc for family photoshoots. It is airy, with plenty of soft light after 2 p.m. and especially beautiful before sunset. If you are staying at New World Phu Quoc Resort, the photoshoot will be as convenient as possible: no rush, no complicated logistics, and comfortable for children. And if you want to complement your beach day with other experiences, Sunset Town, VUI-Fest Bazaar, and trips through An Thoi are always nearby.

Then we simply match your pace, choose 1 or 2 hours or more, and create a series that will feature the sea, tenderness, and a warm resort style.
