Con Dao, Vietnam

True to the Six Senses principles, Con Dao is located in a remote yet naturally beautiful part of this stunning, secluded island. Protected for decades as a national and marine park Con Dao is just a 50-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City and Six Senses Con Dao was the first five-star resort in the archipelago.

Set on the island's untouched sands the Six Senses comes with 50 luxurious villas with private infinity pools and unobstructed panoramic views of the glistening South China Sea. Boasting a private beachfront, day spa and fitness facilities the property has a mix of contemporary design and elements of traditional Vietnamese fishing villages.

The Six Senses Restaurant serves delightful meals cooked with organic ingredients and guests have the option of using the restaurant, the private beach area or the comfort of their own villa to enjoy the fare. There are a wide range of activities on offer if basking in the sun gets a bit too much for you.

You can make an early morning visit to a traditional Vietnamese market before trying your hand at a cooking class, or visit a nearby turtle hatchery, or for the more adventurous, take advantage of the range of water sports on offer, from sunset cruises to fantastic scuba diving experiences.
