Six Senses Con Dao VIETNAM
Located off the southern coast of Vietnam — a mere 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City — Con Dao archipelago is comprised of 16 islands with a staggering level of biodiversity and marine conservation. Indeed, 80% of Con Dao is given over to the National and Marine Park and its extraordinary landscapes. Con Dao was first visited by Marco Polo in the
14th century and listed as strategically important in the Treaty of Versailles. In relation to the more recent past, there are some French colonial buildings remaining that provide insight into some of the darker episodes of colonial history. Keen explorers can bike around this pretty,
quiet island’s roads or hike in the National Park while admiring over 1,100 rare species of flora and fauna, including the endemic black squirrel and the curved-toe gecko. Join a snorkelling or diving tour and immerse yourself in the crystal- clear waters, encountering up to 1,500 species, including dugongs, and unique coral formations. The resort channels the essence of a traditional Vietnamese fishing village with 50 private pool
villas and residences crafted from reclaimed teak wood, outfitted with modern conveniences and a sophisticated design aesthetic. Sprawling across over a mile of private white sand beaches and surrounded by tropical rainforests, Six Senses Con Dao provides the ultimate escape. Sustainability is a key concern; there is a
strict ‘no-plastic’ zone throughout the resort, with water supplied in glass bottles from the remineralising plant. Unique features include the expansive organic gardens, supplying most of the produce needed for the unique ‘plant-to-plate’ dining experience. An unmissable highlight is ‘Let’s Get
Cracking’, the endangered green turtle incubation centre that’s produced record- breaking hatching rates of 95%, with 3,351 turtles successfully released within the National Park in 2021. Large areas of the resort’s beaches are maintained in a way to be safe and familiar to mother turtles during their egg-laying. Incubation training and turtle handling classes are held weekly for resort staff.
