Con Dao
Barefoot luxury meets serious sustainability. The architecture draws on Vietnamese fishing village vernacular — low-slung thatched roofs, natural timber, woven bamboo — without feeling rustic or rough. There's an organic garden, an Alchemy Bar in the spa, and a turtle hatchling conservation program. Guests come here to genuinely slow down.
Book the 'Flights On Us' offer — a 3-night minimum stay earns complimentary round-trip flights from Ho Chi Minh City, which meaningfully offsets the total cost
Why It Matters
The only five-star resort in Vietnam's Con Dao archipelago. Ranked No. 1 Best Resort in Southeast Asia by Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2021 and recognized by National Geographic Traveler as one of the world's top eco-lodges. Every one of the 50 accommodations is a private pool villa — there are no standard hotel rooms here.
Six Senses Con Dao is a 50-villa, all-pool resort on Dat Doc Beach, designed to look like a traditional Vietnamese fishing village — think reclaimed teakwood, sun-bleached bamboo, and zero high-rise buildings. Every single villa comes with a private infinity pool and an outdoor garden shower. It sits inside a protected national and marine park, 45 minutes by flight from Ho Chi Minh City. The trade-off for all that seclusion? Getting here takes genuine effort, and you won't find much else on the island beyond the resort and the park.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Beachfront Deluxe Pool Villa
The entry-level beachfront option — single-level layout rather than duplex, but still with direct beach access, spectacular ocean views, a private infinity pool, and an outdoor shower. Slightly more compact than the duplex at 150 sqm but puts you right on the sand.
King · 150 sqmBeachfront Duplex Pool Villa
Same split-level layout as the Ocean View Duplex but with direct beach access rather than a garden buffer. Wake up in the upper-level bedroom with ocean views, step downstairs to the open-plan bathroom, then walk straight onto the sand. Private infinity pool on the terrace. The premium over the ocean view version is the immediate beach access.
King · 194 sqmBeachfront Four-Bedroom Pool Villa
The flagship villa — three beachfront pavilions, 671 sqm, direct beach access, private infinity pool, and a kitchenette in the living pavilion so the resort's chef can prepare in-villa meals on your terrace. Three ocean-facing master suites each have king beds, large open-plan bathrooms, bathtubs, and outdoor showers. One twin-bed room is in the living pavilion. Private spacious garden. Built for eight, and feels like its own compound.
King (x3) + Twin · 671 sqmBeachfront Three-Bedroom Pool Villa
Three pavilions with direct beach access and 542 sqm of space. Same configuration as the ocean view version — two ocean-facing master suites with king beds and outdoor showers, one rear twin bedroom — but sitting right on the sand. Includes a living room, dining room, and private infinity pool.
King (x2) + Twin · 542 sqmBeachfront Two-Bedroom Pool Villa
A serious step up in space — three separate pavilions spread across 522 sqm with direct beach access. Two ocean-facing master bedrooms each get their own open-plan bathroom with double vanity basins and outdoor shower. Large living area with oversized couches, private infinity pool, American-style refrigerator. This is the territory of multi-generational families and small groups.
King (x2) · 522 sqmOcean View Duplex Pool Villa
Split-level villa with the bedroom on the upper floor and panoramic ocean views. The open-plan bathroom is on the ground floor with double vanity basins, a large bathtub, and an outdoor shower. Private infinity-edge pool on the terrace with sun loungers, steps from the beach. Great pick for couples who want elevated sea views without paying full beachfront rates.
King · 194 sqmOcean View Four-Bedroom Pool Villa
The largest ocean view configuration at 671 sqm across multiple pavilions. Three ocean-facing master bedrooms each with king beds, large open-plan bathrooms, bathtubs, and outdoor showers. The middle pavilion houses the living room, dining room, and a twin-bed room. Private infinity pool and terraced sun loungers. Steps from the beach. Ideal for large families or groups traveling together.
King (x3) + Twin · 671 sqmOcean View Three-Bedroom Pool Villa
Three pavilions across 542 sqm with two ocean-facing master bedrooms (king beds, each with double vanity and outdoor shower) plus a third rear bedroom with twin single beds. The living pavilion has extra-large couches. Private infinity pool with terraced sun loungers. Steps from the beach but without direct sand access — trade that for the ocean view premium.
King (x2) + Twin · 542 sqmOcean View Two-Bedroom Family Pool Villa
Two-floor villa with one master bedroom and one junior bedroom, both with king beds. Steps from the beach, with panoramic ocean views from the upper level. One large open-plan bathroom with double vanities, plus an ensuite toilet upstairs. Good fit for families who want separate sleeping quarters without jumping to the larger three-bedroom residences.
