About this hotel
General information
Six Senses Con Dao lies on a long sandy beach on Con Son, the main island of the Con Dao archipelago, inside land and sea protected as a national and marine park; the island is also a designated marine Ramsar site. Jungle-covered hills rise behind the resort, and in front of it a clear blue sea runs out over coral reefs.
The architecture is contemporary yet takes its cue from a traditional fishing village: the 50 villas are built from reclaimed teak and other sustainable materials, each with its own pool and only a few steps from the water, and they are designed for natural ventilation to reduce the need for air conditioning. The resort is known for its work with sea turtles — together with the national park authorities it restored the beach for nesting and set up a protected incubation enclosure.
Location
The resort sits on Dat Doc Beach on Con Son island. Con Dao Airport is a 45-minute flight from Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City or around 130 minutes from Hanoi, followed by a 10-minute drive. Shared minivan transfers between the airport and the resort are complimentary on request, and private transfers can be arranged at extra cost; high-speed boats from Ho Chi Minh City or Can Tho also reach the island in 2.5–4 hours.
Spa
Six Senses Spa covers 15,000 m² across nine overwater pavilions. It has eight treatment rooms, including two VIP couple suites with a bubble pool, Finnish and infrared saunas, a steam room with ice-bucket showers, an Alchemy Bar, a biohacking recovery lounge, manicure and pedicure, a yoga pavilion, a meditation sala and indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges; it is open daily from 9:00 to 21:00. A wellness screening of key biomarkers shapes personal programmes for sleep, detox, yoga or Ayurvedic rejuvenation. Signature treatments include a Vietnamese touch therapy with cupping and meridian work, a radiance facial with Dien Chan facial reflexology and a hot bamboo massage.
