This wonderful luxury resort has raised the bar for accommodation in Vietnam. The location is one of the least developed beach areas in the country, and what the Six Senses has achieved here is extraordinary. To manage to build a large resort in an ecologically sensitive area is clever. To do it and actually add value is remarkable.

Eco-tourism is enshrined deeply in the ethos of Six Senses Con Dao. They work hard to protect not just the flora but the local fauna as well. During the months of May, June and July, visitors can watch the glorious sight of turtles coming home to nest, whilst in August and September they get to bear witness as the hatchlings dash to the open sea. The resort has 50 gorgeous glass-fronted villas, each with a private infinity pool.

The glorious ocean views are truly spectacular as the odd colorful fishing boat is the only traffic one ever sees. The restaurant sits on top of a sand dune, overlooking the terrace and pool area. The Six Senses Spa is one of the finest in the country. Packages are available to balance the senses and provide total relaxation to guests. “The Market Area” presents a traditional style street market. This is a whole new level of accommodation and easily one of the finest resorts in Vietnam.
