"A picture-perfect escape with a castaway vibe, Six Senses Con Dao is a hidden paradise designed to resemble a Vietnamese village with supremely luxurious villas and tantalising regional cuisine."

Scattered off the southern coast of Vietnam are the Con Dao islands: a hidden paradise of sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and dramatic landscapes. Six Senses Con Dao calls the scenic archipelago home, and – as the islands are less developed than more heavily touristed areas on the mainland – it’s a picture-perfect escape for couples who want to get away from it all.

Six Senses’ castaway vibe is done up splendidly, beginning with the appropriately sun-bleached wooden villas that line its shores. All villas have views of the turquoise waters (and their own private pools), but you’ll need to book an Ocean Front Villa to be able to step directly out onto the sand. The resort is designed to resemble a Vietnamese village, and the villas blend this aesthetic with a hefty dose of contemporary luxury. Interiors are spacious and airy, with simple wooden walls and swaths of wispy mosquito netting billowing above the beds. Decor is absolutely minimal, so virtually nothing distracts from the gorgeous panoramic views as seen through full-wall windows. All accommodations have outdoor showers, accoutrements for tea and coffee and large bathrooms with huge sunken tubs placed conveniently by the window for jaw-dropping views.

Restaurants at Six Senses have self-explanatory names: there’s Vietnamese by the Market which serves – you guessed it – Vietnamese food (think classics like banh mi and pho) by the replica village market. By the Beach Restaurant is located on the shoreline; it’s the go-to place for buffet breakfasts, Vietnamese street food, international dinners and (our personal favourite) make-your-own bloody marys and mimosas. Sip a cocktail in one of the leather swing chairs of the Elephant Bar, or enjoy a post-swim drink at the poolside Splash Bar while you gaze out at the sea and Lo Voi mountain.

True to the Six Senses modus operandi, the resort’s spa is arguably its best asset. Garden-surrounded and utterly serene, the spa offers all the expected massages, scrubs and facials in addition to a nail bar and coconut oil workshop studio. Fitness junkies can take part in all manner of watersports or go trekking through the postcard-worthy landscape, while those who prefer to stay closer to the resort (and its bars) can visit the fitness centre, relax in the meditation pavilion or take an open-air yoga class in an absolutely idyllic setting.
