Six Senses Con Dao | Vietnam
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
Six Senses Con Dao is an eco-luxury sanctuary tailored for sophisticated travelers seeking raw natural beauty and deep wellness in a remote, protected archipelago. It is perfect for those who appreciate sustainable teak-wood design and a 'digital detox' atmosphere, but it should be skipped by those who require urban nightlife or prefer traditional air-conditioned indoor living over the resort's signature natural ventilation. The one experience worth flying for is the rare opportunity to participate in the resort’s turtle conservation program, witnessing hatchlings emerge from their nests and return to the sea.
