A fishing-village sanctuary amid untouched marine wilderness
Perched on a secluded stretch of golden sand within Vietnam’s only Ramsar-designated marine national park, Six Senses Con Dao represents the pinnacle of barefoot-luxury eco-retreats. Just a 45‑minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City and a short drive from the island airport, this 5‑star resort seamlessly blends contemporary design with sustainable village aesthetics. Its humble‑chic collection of 50 villas and family residences is built from reclaimed teak and sun‑bleached bamboo and designed to echo traditional fishing‑village structures - each steps from the edge of a pristine bay surrounded by jungle‑clad peaks.
Accommodations range from one‑bedroom Ocean View Pool Villas to three‑ and four‑bedroom spacious Residences, all featuring private infinity pools, open‑air garden showers, and natural‑ventilated layouts that minimize resource use. Interiors are elegantly minimalist, with wood, bamboo, and organic linens creating a calm, airy ambiance that honors its wild surroundings.
Culinary offerings draw deeply from the region. Vietnamese by the Market serves fresh pho, summer rolls, and street‑food favorites, while By the Beach showcases seafood and international plates with panoramic ocean views. For bespoke moments, Destination Dining caters romantic dinners on the beach or private poolsides.
Wellness sits at the heart of the Six Senses ethos. Centered around a 15,000 m² spa‑&‑wellness village floating between sea and forest, guests enjoy holistic treatments, herbal‑garden‑sourced products, and cutting‑edge biohacking amenities that include a recovery lounge, saunas, steam rooms, and Alchemy Bar for custom formulations. The property also offers a yoga pavilion, fitness center, and a host of tailored wellness journeys (sleep, detox, yoga, Ayurveda) guided by integrated biomarker assessments.
Cultural and nature‑focused experiences abound - from guided snorkeling and diving in vibrant coral reefs, turtle‑watching and ethical hatchling releases, to bicycle tours, lighthouse treks, and visits to Con Dao’s historical prison sites.
Perfect for: nature lovers, wellness seekers, and families or couples yearning for an immersive retreat where every touchpoint harmonizes luxury, culture, and care.
