SIX SENSES CON DAO RESORT
History & Story
Located off the southern coast of Vietnam and comprising of 16 islands, the Con Dao archipelago is reputed for spectacular natural beauty, secluded sandy beaches and extensive coral reefs. It also contains immense historical and cultural significance to the Vietnamese. The largest island, Con Son, which hosts Six Senses Con Dao can be reached by air in 45 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City or 2 hours from HaNoi, Hai Phong and Vinh. From here it’s just a 10-minute drive from Con Dao Airport to the Resort. Surrounded by National Parks Six Senses identified this breathtaking setting as the perfect location for their resort, marking a significant chapter in the brand’s story.
The Resort is perched on a 2km golden sandy bay overlooking the sapphire blue ocean and is sheltered by a verdant forest. Six Senses Con Dao boasts 50 luxurious pool villas ranging from one to four bedrooms, each with its own infinity-edged pool and providing 24/7 personalized butler service from our Guest Experience Makers (GEMs) who ensure your stay is unforgettable. The resort’s Ocean Front Villas are set directly on the beachfront with direct beach access, while the Ocean View Villas are located on elevated positions providing panoramic ocean views, only steps away from the sandy beach.
Development Strategy
Constructed in harmony with the natural surroundings, the Resort’s private villas are crafted from sustainable materials and feature outdoor showers, vast living spaces and terraces to enjoy views of the sunrise or sunset. The Resort design is based on that of a relaxed community of sun-bleached bamboo Villas, inspired by traditional fishing villages.
