About Six Senses Con Dao
- AW²'s 50 timber-frame villas were prefabricated on the Vietnamese mainland, shipped by barge, and assembled dry on-site to minimise ground disturbance in the national park — an unusually rigorous ecological construction method.
- The resort's turtle conservation programme, run in partnership with Con Dao National Park, has released over 30,000 endangered green sea turtle hatchlings since 2018; guests can witness and participate in beach releases.
- Travel + Leisure named it the number one resort in Southeast Asia; National Geographic listed it among the world's best ecolodges — two of the most divergent ratings sources in travel publishing.
- Con Dao's relative isolation — one hour by flight from Ho Chi Minh City, with no road connection to the mainland — means the island retains some of the least-developed coastline in the South China Sea.
- Dat Doc beach is over two kilometres long, backed by the peak of Lo Voi.
History
Six Senses Con Dao opened in December 2010 as a $34 million sustainable eco-resort on Con Dao Island, featuring 50 villas along a pristine beach in a protected national and marine park. The property emphasizes environmental conservation, including sea turtle incubation and research programs, and has become a pioneer in luxurious, ecologically sensitive hospitality in Vietnam. It reflects a traditional fishing village aesthetic with contemporary sustainable design.
The setting
