Six Senses Con Dao
Con Dao, Vietnam
Century-old tropical almond trees shade the seafront of Côn Sơn and the yellow villas of the former administration. Behind it, the small town runs a few quiet streets down to the harbour, where the fishing boats come in. The rest belongs to the forest: a national park covers the greater part of the islands, down to the coral reefs. From April to October, on the sand of Hòn Bảy Cạnh, green turtles come ashore at night on the high tide to lay their eggs, and are back in the sea before dawn.
