Six Senses Con Dao begs the age-old question, “If I were stranded on a beautiful deserted island…”, in the best way possible. This is one island I would not mind being stranded on (given that it comes with wifi and some fresh sushi). Six Senses wanted Con Dao to be remote, but still accessible. It is a truly breathtaking location and also a marine and national park. National Geographic Traveler rated con Dao one of the top eco-lodges because of their commitment to sustainability.

At Six Senses Con Dao the design is contemporary mixed with the essence of a traditional fishing village. Our favorite room is the very spacious two-level villa with one super comfy bedroom, which is located on the upper floor with magnificent ocean views plus an ensuite bathroom with your very own private infinity-edged swimming pool. The rooms are simplistic but the views are breathtaking.

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine prepared by Miss Lan and her team at Vietnamese at the Market using recipes that have been passed down from mother and grandmother. The Vietnamese kitchen also offers daily specials.  By the Beach is the main restaurant with panoramic ocean views and gentle sea breezes, specializing in locally caught seafood, fruit, vegetables and herbs bursting with flavor while Destination Dining offers barbecues and picnics at any place of your choice.

The best adventure at Con Dao is a 30 minute ride by speedboat that leads to the beautiful island of Bay Canh where the fun begins; a two to two and a half hour trek through the dense forest leads you to one of Con Dao’s most important landmarks. Construction of the Bay Canh Lighthouse was between 1883 and 1885 is located one of the highest points in on Bay Canh island at 226 meters above sea level.

At Con Dao, you can have the utmost romantic vacation or a memorable family vacation, it caters to everyone and molds to whatever kind of trip you are looking for!
