In less than a decade, Ho Chi Minh City, or commonly referred to as Saigon, has transformed itself into Asia’s most dynamic city.

Con Dao is a 16 island archipelago within Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, in south east Vietnam. It is famed for its crystal clear blue-green waters, soft golden sand beaches, lush mangrove forests and beautiful coral reefs. Once “upon” a time, Con Dao Island was dubbed as “the Hell on Earth” by the political prisoners during the French era. The island has now transformed to a “Heaven on Earth” and drawn world’s well-known hotel brands to invest and Six Senses is one of them.
Six Senses Con Dao is nestled in a beautiful secluded bay 8 km from Co Ong airport. The resort has a magnificent beach, a beguiling 1.5 km strip of golden sand with sloping dunes leading to turquoise waters, and dramatic Elephant Head Mountain as a backdrop. It is here “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and their entourage had spent their holiday in November 2011.
