Six Senses Con Dao

Con Dao island sits roughly 230 km off Ho Chi Minh City, its shoreline folded into a protected national and marine park. Six Senses Con Dao takes its ground along Dat Doc Beach, inside that reserve, facing the open water of the South China Sea. Fifty villas are spread through the property, each with its own infinity pool and an unbroken view out to the horizon. Bathrooms are private, and butlers work the villas directly, bringing meals to the terrace, the sand, or the room as guests choose. Interiors keep a spacious dining and sitting area, a flat-screen TV and DVD player, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The spa runs treatment rooms alongside a Finnish sauna, a steam room, and a separate recovery lounge, with a yoga pavilion and fitness centre nearby. A library lounge gives a quieter corner for the afternoon. You can hear the sea from most villas after dark. Six Senses Restaurant cooks with organic ingredients and serves across three settings: the restaurant itself, the private beach, or in-villa. Water sports and a gym round out the grounds, set against the marine park's coral and open channel beyond the beach. It is a small resort by design, built to keep the shoreline and its park largely to itself.
