This recognition reflects the resort’s deep connection to nature, commitment to wellness, and thoughtfully crafted experiences that resonate long after the journey ends. 

Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025 has officially revealed its Vietnam edition rankings, celebrating the finest hotels, resorts, and wellness destinations across the country. Among this year’s honorees, Six Senses Con Dao proudly secures a place in the Top 10 in two categories: Best Beach + Island Resorts in Vietnam and Best Hotel Spas in Vietnam.  

Hosted by Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia since 2023, the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards honor exceptional destinations that go beyond breathtaking settings — celebrating places that offer authentic, thoughtfully crafted experiences that leave a lasting impression. Each year, the editorial team curates the list based on expert insight, with select categories open to public voting, giving travelers the chance to recognize the places that have truly inspired them.

A Secluded Island Paradise Getaway 

Tucked away on a remote archipelago just a 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Six Senses Con Dao sits within the protected embrace of Con Dao National Park. The resort spans a pristine 2-kilometer stretch of private beach, bordered by lush mountains and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.  

Each of the resort’s 50 private pool villas is designed with natural, understated elegance — echoing the spirit of a traditional fishing village while offering every modern comfort. Open-plan living spaces draw the eye outward, offering sweeping views toward the ocean from nearly every angle. Whether gazing out from your bed as the morning light dances across the waves, soaking in your private infinity pool with the sea stretching beyond, or enjoying sunset moments from a breezy terrace, the connection to water is constant and calming. Guests are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and settle into a rhythm of life shaped by sea and sky. 

But it’s the beach itself that steals the heart. Stretching along a golden curve of sand framed by forested hills and the vast open sea, it offers a sense of freedom and calm that lingers long after the footprints fade. Guests enjoy sunrise walks, spontaneous swims in clear waters, or simply resting beneath swaying palms, listening to the gentle rhythm of the waves. Whether savoring a private seaside dinner or waking to the scent of salt in the air, every moment feels personal, grounding, and effortlessly serene. 

Each stay unfolds as a journey of discovery, with a curated range of experiences for all ages. Ocean adventures like snorkeling, paddleboarding, and private boat trips offer guests the chance to explore vibrant coral reefs, hidden coves, and untouched coastlines. Whether setting off at golden hour or enjoying a quiet picnic aboard, these bespoke excursions allow for a deeper connection to the sea and the surrounding archipelago. 

Dining is a celebration of connection, from catching the day’s fresh seafood to learning traditional recipes in a cooking class — or simply enjoying a starlit table on the sand. Ingredients are locally sourced and thoughtfully prepared to reflect Vietnam’s vibrant coastal flavors and seasonal rhythms. 

Sustainability here is a way of living, thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of the resort. Guests are invited to explore the Earth Lab, where innovative ideas for reducing waste, conserving energy, and protecting biodiversity come to life through hands-on workshops. A walk through the organic gardens reveals how herbs and vegetables are grown with care, making their way from soil to plate in the resort’s kitchens. Every encounter is a chance to connect more deeply — not just with nature, but with the small, conscious choices that shape a more thoughtful kind of travel. 

The beach is not only a place of beauty and calm — it’s where the resort’s deep respect for nature comes vividly to life. Nestled within a protected national park and lovingly cared for by a dedicated sustainability team, this shoreline has become the safe havens where green sea turtles return to nest. Its natural stillness and absence of artificial light make it an ideal homecoming site for these ancient creatures, who arrive silently in the night to lay their eggs in the sand. 

Since 2018, the “Let’s Get Cracking” incubation center, created in partnership with the national park, has successfully hatched and released over 30,000 baby turtles into the sea. Guests may have the rare chance to witness this quiet moment at dawn — a tender, unforgettable reminder of what it means to live gently on the earth. 

At the resort, the island is more than a setting — it’s an experience. Framed by forested mountains and a pristine stretch of beach, this remote archipelago offers rare seclusion and space to breathe. From ocean adventures to quiet moments beneath the palms, every experience feels personal, grounded, and deeply connected to nature. 

An Immersive Destination for Holistic Wellbeing  

Wellness is not just a concept — it’s a way of life, thoughtfully woven through six core pillars: Sleep, Eat, Spa, Move, Mindfulness, and Grow. From personalized programs and mindful nourishment to environmentally conscious choices, every experience is designed to nurture the body, uplift the spirit, and cultivate meaningful connection — with nature, with others, and most importantly, with oneself. 

At the heart of this journey is the Spa & Wellness Village, unveiled in November 2024. Nestled within a protected national park and spanning 15,000 square meters, this tranquil sanctuary draws inspiration from the natural rhythms of the island, ancestral wisdom, and cutting-edge therapies. The architecture takes cues from the gentle grace of native water lilies, built using sustainably sourced materials such as bamboo, teak wood, allowing the structures to breathe and blend organically into the landscape — leaving a light footprint while offering a deeply grounding atmosphere. 

Sustainability extends beyond design — it informs every detail, from locally sourced spa ingredients to plastic-free amenities. Guests can also take part in workshops at Alchemy Bar where guests can create their own handmade scrubs, body oils, and natural balms using fresh herbs, local spices, and island botanicals. It’s a sensory-rich, hands-on experience that celebrates self-care, creativity, and the healing power of nature. 

Here, wellbeing is a shared journey — guided by a team of skilled therapists and wellness hosts who bring compassion, expertise, and genuine presence to every guest experience. A thoughtfully curated calendar of renowned Visiting Practitioners from around the world further enriches this journey, offering support for physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing throughout the year. With deep intuition, cultural sensitivity, and professional care, each treatment, ritual, or conversation becomes a profoundly personal and grounding experience.  

Beauty begins where balance is restored – from within. At Six Senses Con Dao, this belief comes to life through a partnership with Biologique Recherche, offering advanced, personalized skin health journeys. The experience begins with a professional Skin Instant Lab® V2 analysis — a dermo-cosmetic diagnostic that evaluates hydration, elasticity, pigmentation, and more in real time. This lays the foundation for tailored rituals that go beyond the surface — designed to nourish the skin and restore harmony from within. 

The journey continues at the Biohack Recovery Lounge, where technology meets restorative practice. Techniques such as compression therapy, targeted pain relief, and instant tension release are integrated to support recovery, clarity, and resilience — helping guests feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned. This holistic approach extends to nourishment and rest. 

This holistic approach extends to nourishment and rest. Eat With Six Senses embraces a seasonal, local, and organic philosophy, offering dishes that are rich in vitamins, enzymes, and sea minerals — drawn directly from the resort’s organic gardens and local sources. Each plate is designed to be as delicious as it is nutritious, aligning with individual wellness goals while celebrating the island’s abundance. Meanwhile, Sleep With Six Senses combines natural materials, sleep science, and smart technology to create an environment that promotes truly restorative rest — supporting each guest’s journey toward deeper renewal. 

Throughout their stay, guests are gently invited to realign with life’s natural pace — whether through sunrise yoga by the sea, healing rituals, or quiet moments beneath the trees. More than a destination, this is a sanctuary of clarity and calm, where wellness, sustainability, and intention come together. Every space is designed with care, and every experience guided by presence — helping each guest rediscover balance, vitality, and the simple joy of being. 

“This recognition is incredibly meaningful because it celebrates not just where we are, but who we are — a place where nature is preserved, wellness is personal, and every experience is created with heart,” said Lakmal Asanka, Resort Manager of Six Senses Con Dao. “We are deeply grateful to our guests, passionate hosts, and the Travel + Leisure community for their trust and support.” 

From tranquil moments to experiences that stir the soul, Six Senses Con Dao continues to offer more than just a beach destination — it offers a way of seeing, feeling, and living that stays with each guest long after they depart. As the resort looks ahead, the journey remains rooted in care: for the land, for the people, and for every traveler seeking not just to escape, but to truly connect.

Second Albino Sea Turtle Hatchling Born At Six Senses Con Dao

The albino sea turtle – an extremely rare genetic phenomenon with an occurrence rate of only around 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 150,000 – has hatched twice at the Let’s Get Cracking Incubation Center at Six Senses Con Dao in less than two years, serving as a miraculous testament to what can happen when nature is carefully protected and nurtured. 

Con Dao, Vietnam — With an estimated natural occurrence of only 1 in 100.000 to 1 in 150.000, Albino sea turtles are among the rarest genetic phenomena in nature. Remarkably, within less than two years, this extraordinary event has taken place twice at the Let’s Get Cracking incubation center of Six Senses Con Dao — a moving reminder of what’s possible when nature is allowed to thrive. 

The birth of the second albino hatchling is more than a rare biological milestone — it is a testament to the pristine ecosystem that continues to be carefully nurtured at Con Dao. Among thousands of baby turtles that have hatched, this tiny albino stands out: delicate yet resilient, cloaked in a pearly shell with translucent features. It is a gentle symbol of how nature reveals its rarest wonders when protected with intention and care. 

Over 30,000 Hatchlings Returned to the Ocean: A Proud Milestone 

At Six Senses Con Dao, sustainability is not just a promise — it’s a guiding principle behind every action. 

Home to two rare sea turtle species — the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) — Con Dao is recognized as one of Vietnam’s most vital nesting grounds. The nearly 2-kilometer beach in front of the resort, protected from light pollution, single-use plastics, and artificial noise, has become a favored nesting site for mother turtles each year from March to October. 

As of June 2025, the Let’s Get Cracking Incubation Center in collaboration with Con Dao National Park, has released more than 30,000 hatchlings back into the ocean. This remarkable figure marks a significant milestone and affirms the long-term impact of dedicated marine conservation. 

A Mission That Continues To Inspire 

At Six Senses Con Dao, conservation goes far beyond incubation. Daily beach patrols and regular clean-ups help protect nesting sites, reduce threats from predators, and ensure a safe environment for mother turtles. The team also assists in rescue efforts — a critical extension of the resort’s commitment to ocean stewardship. 

For guests, the presence of turtles offers more than a magical moment — it’s an invitation to awareness. Through engaging sessions led by the resort’s Sustainability team, visitors gain insight into the turtles’ life cycles, behaviors, and the urgent challenges they face. Many also have the rare opportunity to release hatchlings into the sea, right from the resort’s private beach — a deeply moving experience that fosters a lasting connection to nature. 

“When the environment is pure and carefully protected, nature responds with its most extraordinary miracles,” shares Ms. Aika, Sustainability Manager at Six Senses Con Dao. “Witnessing the second albino hatchling born here was a gift — and a heartfelt reminder that every effort, every small act today can make a lasting difference for tomorrow.” 

At Six Senses Con Dao, this journey is shaped by awareness, strengthened through action, and sustained by belief. Every effort made today is a promise to the future — a future where even the most fragile forms of life are given the chance to thrive, and where nature’s miracles continue to unfold.

The Beginning Of Wellness – A Month Of Purposeful Living At Six Senses Con Dao

At Six Senses Con Dao, wellness is not something added—it is something remembered. This June, under the theme “Beginning”, the resort devotes the month to nurturing a return to self, to stillness, and to the beauty of living consciously. Through a thoughtfully curated sequence of immersive experiences, the Wellness Month will unfold in three expressive movements: Presence Within, Essence Shared, and Resonance Beyond—each guiding guests towards a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. 

Presence Within

Returning to yourself—through breath, nourishment, and mindful ritual 

The “Beginning” commences in quiet intention with the launch of the Wellness Guidance Series on YouTube—a four-part digital offering created to support guests and global viewers on a journey back to balance.  

More than just a one-time experience, this series is designed to live on as a resource for life—a daily wellness ritual you can revisit at home, wherever you are. It reflects the very purpose and value that define Six Senses: making wellness accessible, sustainable, and deeply personal. 

With Beginning Presence, Dr. Sudeep guides a calming meditation rooted in breath awareness. Beginning Nourishment, by chef Duy Nguyen, offers insights into mindful eating through plant-based snacks. Beginning Purity, with bartender Daniel Nguyen, features a vibrant detox drink crafted from local Vietnamese ingredients. The series concludes with Beginning Balance, a sunset yoga practice with Master Sandeep that blends gentle movement with the island’s tranquil energy. 

Essence Shared

Coming together to celebrate the beauty of living well 

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Six Senses Con Dao joins the world in honoring Global Wellness Day—a moment of collective reflection, intention, and joy. The shoreline becomes the first pathway of reconnection, where guests take part in a mindful beach walk, attuning breath to the rhythm of the waves. 

Throughout the day, curated experiences such as chakra meditation, sound bath therapy, biohacking recovery, and stretch & flow movement help guests explore new ways of caring for both body and soul. This collective celebration serves as a powerful reminder: when we gather with intention, healing becomes a shared experience. 

Resonance Beyond

Letting wellness ripple into culture, creativity, and collective consciousness 

The month culminates with LIFE (Sự Sống)—a 3-day, 2-night immersive journey where nature, art, and human emotion converge into one seamless experience. Designed in collaboration with visionary domestic and international partners, LIFE offers not a spectacle, but a soulful symphony—inviting guests to begin again in how they see, feel, and connect. 

It begins with Aquagenesis, an evocative art exhibition tracing the origins of modern Vietnamese art through seven works from the Indochina Fine Arts era. This water-inspired experience celebrates transformation—where heritage, creativity, and nature flow together at the source of life. 

From there, guests turn inward through The Primal Awakening—a profound session on emotional healing and mental wellness, co-led by Dr. Sudeep from Six Senses Con Dao and iconic singer Hồng Nhung. Together, they offer a safe and reflective space for guests to explore the unseen layers of their inner world. 

As twilight arrives, The Primal Sound & Color, directed by Cao Trung Hiếu, unfolds as a breathtaking live performance. Art, sound, and movement dance in harmony with the natural surroundings—blurring the line between humanity and the Earth itself. 

The final experience, The Primal Taste, brings guests together over a refined culinary journey that celebrates local flavors and nature’s abundance. Each dish is crafted as a tribute to mindful sourcing, seasonal beauty, and the sacred act of sharing a meal. 

The “Beginning” was never conceived just as a month of programming—it was a movement. One that gently calls us home to our breath, our Earth, and our better selves. And while the experiences may conclude, their resonance lingers—in how we move, how we eat, how we live. 

For those who feel called to begin again—with intention, presence, and purpose — we welcome you to Six Senses Con Dao.

SIX SENSES CON DAO CELEBRATES 30,000  
HATCHLINGS RELEASED AHEAD OF WORLD SEA TURTLE DAY

Somewhere between the stillness of dawn and the rhythm of the tide, a miracle unfolded. This morning, the Six Senses Con Dao team quietly reached a remarkable milestone: 30,000 sea turtles safely released into the ocean since the launch of the resort’s conservation program in 2018.

With World Sea Turtle Day approaching on June 16, the moment serves as more than a number — it is a tribute to years of patient stewardship, an enduring partnership with Con Dao National Park, and the unwavering hope that nature, when protected, always finds its way. 

Set against the serene backdrop of a protected marine reserve, the “Let’s Get Cracking” Incubation Center was born from a vision: to not only protect a critically endangered species, but also to educate, inspire, and connect. Each egg, each hatchling, each story carries a message — that mindful tourism can make a lasting impact. 

“I’ve watched every season like chapters in a story. From the first nest to the 30,000th hatchling, it’s not just a job — it’s a purpose,” shared Mr. Tran Hieu Thien, who has been coordinating the partnership between Six Senses Con Dao and the Con Dao National Park since the inception of the incubation center. “Even after 7 years, each release feels like the first time. You never forget the joy of watching them crawl into the sea.” 

Mr. Lakmal Asanka, Resort Manager at Six Senses Con Dao, reflected: “This milestone is not ours alone. It belongs to the rangers, the guests who joined turtle releases, the children who listened to Turtle Talks, and every team member who believed in the mission. Our responsibility is long-term, and this is just the beginning.” Ms. Tabyldieva Erkaiym, Sustainability Manager, added: “It’s not just about protecting turtles. It’s about shifting perspectives. Each hatchling we help into the sea is a promise — to this planet, to future generations, and to the communities we serve. Our conservation isn’t a campaign. It’s a way of life.” 

As we prepare to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day on June 16, the release of our 30,000th hatchling is more than a number—it is a symbol. A symbol of care, of commitment, and of collective hope. The milestone reflects years of early dawns and quiet nights; of our team patrolling the beach under starlight, gently relocating eggs to safety, educating guests with passion, and watching with each miraculous hatching as baby turtles crawl bravely towards the ocean. It is a symbol of what can happen when a community chooses to care deeply and act consistently. 

From the resort’s very first nest in 2018 to today’s clutch, every turtle released has carried with it a story of compassion. We are not just conserving a species—we are honoring an ancient rhythm of life, and offering the next generation a cleaner, kinder, and more connected world. 

At Six Senses Con Dao, we believe that true luxury is found in stewardship. That our real legacy lies in the ripples we leave behind—for the ocean, for the planet, and for those yet to come 30,000 hatchlings. Dozens of hands. One ocean. One shared responsibility. And in many ways, this is only the beginning.

World Turtle Day 2025: Embracing the commitment to turtle conservation at Six Senses Con Dao

On World Turtle Day 2025, Six Senses Con Dao reaffirms its unwavering commitment to sea turtle conservation through dedicated protection, scientific care, community engagement, and rescue efforts. From safeguarding rare hatchlings at the “Let’s Get Cracking” Incubation Center to timely marine rescues, the resort stands as a beacon of hope ensuring these majestic creatures continue to thrive along Vietnam’s pristine shores. 

Sustainability is more than a philosophy at Six Senses Con Dao—it is the very heartbeat that drives every action, initiative, and moment shared with nature. Here, amidst the untouched beauty of Con Dao’s pristine shores, a profound commitment thrives: to protect, preserve, and celebrate the delicate rhythms of marine life for generations yet to come. 

On this World Turtle Day 2025, Six Senses Con Dao shines a spotlight on its flagship conservation effort — the “Let’s Get Cracking” Incubation Center. Since opening its doors in 2018 in collaboration with Con Dao National Park, this sanctuary has become a home for endangered green sea turtles. Over the years, the center has nurtured and safely released 29,859 hatchlings into the ocean, boasting an exceptional 82% hatch success rate—a testament to the unwavering dedication of the resort’s conservation team. 

Each year, from early March to October, the quiet, untouched 1.24-mile beach at Six Senses Con Dao transforms into a sacred nursery. Mother turtles return faithfully, drawn by the safety and calm this protected sanctuary provides, to lay their eggs. But the journey from egg to ocean is full of dangers. Natural predators, environmental threats, and human activities put the fragile eggs and tiny hatchlings at risk. That’s where the incubation center steps in – protecting these vulnerable lives during their most critical stages, carefully monitoring conditions to help more hatchlings survive and make it safely into the wild. 

On the path of sea turtle conservation, each remarkable moment serves as a gentle reminder of nature’s delicate beauty—and humanity’s responsibility to protect it. At Six Senses Con Dao, this journey has been marked by memorable milestones, none more extraordinary than the birth of Blanche on October 20, 2023. 

Blanche is a Chelonia mydas, commonly known as a green sea turtle, born with leucism—a rare genetic condition causing significantly reduced melanin pigment in skin and shell. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes in animals and humans. Leucistic sea turtle hatchlings are estimated to occur at about one in hundreds of thousands of eggs laid. 

This unique coloration is a striking example of hypopigmentation, making Blanche a powerful symbol of both the fragile beauty and enduring resilience of marine life. Since birth, Blanche has inspired deeper awareness and a renewed commitment to protecting these vulnerable creatures. 

Building on the momentum of its conservation efforts, on December 15, 2024, a protected olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), named after the olive-green color of their heart-shaped shells, laid an impressive clutch of 98 eggs on the shores of Six Senses Con Dao. Classified as threatened on the IUCN Red List and among the five critically endangered sea turtle species listed in Vietnam’s Red Data Book, this extraordinary event underscores the vital role of the incubation center and the resort’s ongoing dedication to protecting these vulnerable creatures and ensuring their survival. 

The resort’s commitment extends beyond incubation to active marine rescue. On May 7, 2025, two sea turtles—a hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)—were discovered entangled in abandoned fishing nets near the shoreline. Thanks to the swift and coordinated efforts of the Six Senses Con Dao team and local National Park authorities, both turtles were safely freed and released back into their ocean home. This rescue highlights the ongoing threats marine turtles face and underscores the critical importance of vigilance and prompt action in their protection. 

Education and guest engagement remain key pillars of the resort’s conservation approach. Through Turtle Talks, interactive sessions led by a knowledgeable sustainability team, guests gain a deeper understanding of sea turtle biology, behavior, and the complex conservation challenges these ancient mariners face. From May to December, hatchlings regularly emerge on the resort’s private beach, offering guests a rare opportunity to witness nature at its most instinctive. Watching these tiny creatures begin their first journey to the sea during release events is a profound and unforgettable experience—one that bridges the gap between human appreciation and natural wonder.

Every hatchling represents more than just a life saved—it’s a sign of hope for an entire species,” says Erkaiym Tabyldieva, Sustainability Manager at Six Senses Con Dao. “Each egg protected, each turtle released, is a step toward restoring balance in our oceans. But just as importantly, it’s an opportunity to inspire. Through these experiences, we’re not only safeguarding marine life—we’re inviting our guests to become part of the story, to reconnect with nature, and to recognize the role each of us plays in protecting the planet we all share.” 

This World Turtle Day, Six Senses Con Dao reaffirms its dedication not only to sea turtle conservation but to nurturing a lasting relationship between humanity and nature. Every hatchling released, every rescued turtle freed, and every educational moment shared echoes the resort’s commitment to safeguarding a legacy of life, hope, and renewal. Through ongoing collaboration, passionate care, and unwavering stewardship, the resort continues to champion a future where sea turtles and humans thrive together in harmony.

Six Senses Con Dao Spa Partners With Biologique Recherche For A Journey Of Beauty From Inside Out

Six Senses Con Dao Spa & Wellness Village, a sanctuary of pioneering wellness, proudly unveils a special collaboration with Biologique Recherche, the globally acclaimed French skincare brand renowned for its scientific precision and personalized approach to skin health. This partnership further enhances the beauty and wellness journey at Six Senses Con Dao, blending cutting-edge skincare expertise with the resort’s commitment to holistic well-being and sustainability as a leading destination.

A Fusion of Science, Sustainability, and Sensory Wellness

Guided by the principles of “Local Sensitivity, Global Sensibility,” Six Senses Con Dao continuously seeks innovative wellness solutions that harmonize with nature. Biologique Recherche, with 55 years of advanced skincare expertise, shares this ethos of excellence. Known for its highly customized treatments, concentrated formulations, the brand enhances the spa journey—offering a transformative beauty experience grounded in both science and soul.

We are delighted to bring Biologique Recherche’s expertise to Six Senses Con Dao, says Ana Vogric Global GM International at Biologique Recherche. “This collaboration reflects our shared values of excellence, personalization, and a holistic approach to beauty. Together, we’re able to deliver treatments that are not only efficacious but also deeply restorative for both skin and spirit.”

This collaboration goes beyond skincare; it embodies a shared commitment to sustainability, sensory indulgence, and scientifically proven results. By combining forces, Six Senses Con Dao and Biologique Recherche offer guests personalized facial treatments that cater to their unique skin needs, all within the serene atmosphere of Six Senses, renowned for a focus on deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Art of Inner Beauty

“At Six Senses Con Dao, we believe that true beauty is a reflection of inner harmony,” shares Darika Hom-uem, Director of Spa and Wellness at Six Senses Con Dao. “This partnership with Biologique Recherche allows us to deepen our guests’ wellness journeys through advanced, personalized skincare that beautifully complements our holistic ethos and the healing power of nature.”

Beauty begins where balance is restored—from within. Not just skin-deep, it is anchored in how we feel: grounded, nourished, and fully present. At Six Senses Con Dao, this philosophy comes to life through a curated path of well-being designed to replenish the inner self and awaken natural vitality.

The newly launched Spa & Wellness Village is more than a tranquil escape—it is a purpose-built sanctuary where inner peace is cultivated through intentional rituals and immersive spaces. Across 15,000 square meters of thoughtfully designed environments, every detail—from the scent of native herbs to the rhythm of personalized wellness programs—works in harmony to calm the nervous system, reset the senses, and encourage a deeper connection with self.

Guests are invited into daily practices that go beyond relaxation: mindful breathwork that anchors attention, meditative movement that restores clarity, and energy healing that harmonizes the nervous system. Each experience is tailored to nurture the spirit and restore inner balance, whether through the steady rhythm of yoga, the resonance of crystal singing bowls, or the power of silent reflection beneath ancient trees.

Nutrition also plays a pivotal role in this journey. Meals are more than sustenance—they are a continuation of the healing process. Locally sourced ingredients, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, are transformed into vibrant, nourishing dishes that energize the body and restore cellular health from the inside out.

To enhance recovery and elevate physical resilience, guests can access cutting-edge wellness tools such as Normatec® compression therapy, infrared saunas, and personalized biohacking solutions in the Recovery Lounge. Paired with the ancient wisdom found in herbal infusions at the Alchemy Bar, each offering is a carefully calibrated step toward holistic rejuvenation.

Nestled within a protected marine park, Six Senses Con Dao is more than just a retreat; it is a journey to rediscover inner harmony. Through the seamless fusion of science, nature, and well-being, guests experience not only revitalized skin but also a profound sense of renewal, balance, and connection to themselves. True beauty unfolds here, where the mind, body, and spirit align in perfect harmony.

The Art of Outer Beauty

True beauty begins from within, and its vitality effortlessly manifests on the skin, radiating a luminous glow. At Six Senses Con Dao, we bring this philosophy to life through a transformative skincare approach, where nature and science converge to reveal the skin’s purest radiance.

At the heart of this journey lies Biologique Recherche, a brand celebrated for its scientifically backed formulations—combined with a unique methodology and a results-driven, personalized approach. Designed to address each individual’s unique skin profile, Biologique Recherche’s dedication to using high-quality ingredients and cutting-edge technology ensures that every product works in harmony with the skin to restore vitality.

In celebration of the new alliance with Six Senses Con Dao, Biologique Recherche introduces the “Beauty from Inside Out” experience—a science-backed journey that nourishes both skin and soul through bespoke analysis and personalized facial treatment. The journey begins with a professional Skin Analysis using the Skin Instant Lab® V2—an advanced dermo-cosmetic system that evaluates the skin’s current condition in real time. This diagnostic technology measures key markers such as hydration, transepidermal water loss, elasticity, pigmentation, and sebum levels, laying the foundation for a truly personalized experience.

A comprehensive diagnosis then follows, incorporating a visual assessment, a detailed questionnaire, and scientific skin measurements. Enhanced by VisioLab© high-definition imaging and advanced facial mapping, this multi-dimensional analysis enables therapists to understand the skin’s exact needs and create a customized protocol that evolves with it—honoring the skin’s dynamic, ever-changing identity known as the Skin Instant©.

This diagnostic insight flows seamlessly into a Personalized Facial Treatment, carefully curated to address normal, oily, or sensitive skin types. Each session includes deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, sculpting massage techniques, and the targeted application of Biologique Recherche’s potent serums—working synergistically to rebalance, refine, and rejuvenate.

Beyond the treatment room, true radiance is nurtured through mindful rituals that nourish, protect, and rejuvenate. Set against the serene backdrop of the island, every moment invites deeper connection—not only with the skin, but with the self.

At Six Senses Con Dao, beauty is not a surface-level pursuit—it is a refined expression of authenticity and inner harmony. It is skin that speaks for itself: luminous, alive, and untouched by filters. Here, the art of outer beauty becomes a personal ritual—rooted in nature, elevated by science, and guided by care.

As Director of Spa & Wellness, Darika Hom-uem is shaping the vision of Six Senses Con Dao’s Spa & Wellness Village, establishing it as a premier sanctuary for holistic well-being. With nearly two decades in wellness hospitality, she curates transformative experiences that seamlessly merge ancient healing traditions with modern innovations, ensuring every guest embarks on a journey of renewal.

Wellness at Six Senses Con Dao is more than a concept—it’s a way of life, intricately woven through six core elements: Sleep, Eat, Spa, Move, Mindfulness, and Grow.

Inspired by the delicate water lilies that grace the surrounding waters, the spa’s design incorporates sustainable materials like bamboo and teak, seamlessly blending into the landscape.

Notably, during her role as Director of Spa and Wellness, APAC at Outrigger Resorts, she successfully led the opening of Outrigger Konotta, Maldives, while overseeing operations across the Maldives, Fiji, Mauritius, and Thailand. More than treatments, her philosophy centers on creating meaningful, results-driven experiences that align with Six Senses’ ethos of mindful living and sustainable well-being.

“Wellness is not just about pampering; it’s about transformation. I believe in creating experiences that touch the soul, nourish the body, and inspire lasting change.” says Darika Hom-uem

Darika’s leadership extends beyond exceptional wellness experiences—it is deeply rooted in empowerment, mentorship, and fostering a positive team culture.

A Sanctuary For Green Sea Turtles: Conservation In Action At Six Senses Con Dao

From the Let’s Get Cracking Incubation Center to the handcrafted Turtle Dome, each initiative reflects a deep commitment to marine conservation. Guests are invited to witness this incredible journey, fostering a profound connection with nature while contributing to the protection of these magnificent creatures.

Sustainability is more than a philosophy—it is the heartbeat of Six Senses Con Dao. Every initiative is deeply rooted in preserving nature’s delicate rhythms, fostering meaningful connections, and ensuring that future generations inherit a world as rich and vibrant as it is today.

At the heart of this commitment is the Let’s Get Cracking Incubation Center, a sanctuary of hope for the endangered green sea turtle. Established in 2018 in collaboration with Con Dao National Park, this dedicated space has provided a safe haven for more than 29,000 hatchlings, significantly increasing their chances of survival in the wild, with an impressive average hatchling success rate of 82%.

Every year, from March to October, mother turtles return to the untouched 2-kilometer beach of Six Senses Con Dao to lay their eggs. Drawn by the serenity and safety of its pristine shores, mother turtles entrust this environment with their next generation. However, the journey from egg to ocean is fraught with challenges, from natural predators to environmental threats. That’s where the incubation center plays a vital role, protecting the eggs from disturbances and ensuring optimal conditions for their development.

Guests are invited to participate in Turtle Talks, educational sessions that provide deeper insights into the green sea turtle’s behaviors, the incubation process, and hatchling development. These interactive discussions, led by the resort’s sustainability team, raise awareness about the crucial role sea turtles play in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems and the ongoing conservation efforts needed to safeguard their future.

One of the most unforgettable moments for guests is the opportunity to witness hatchlings released across the sands of the resort’s private beach. As they make their first journey to the sea, these tiny creatures instinctively follow the pull of the ocean, a sight that is both awe-inspiring and deeply moving. This experience not only leaves lasting memories but also serves as a profound reminder of the delicate balance between nature and humanity.

Through these efforts, Six Senses Con Dao continues to be robust advocate for marine conservation, ensuring that future generations can connect with the beauty and resilience of sea turtles. Taking this commitment further, the Turtle Dome, completed in August 2024, stands as both an architectural tribute to conservation and a testament to innovation. Handcrafted from sustainable bamboo, this 6.5m x 12.3m structure is designed not only to inspire but also to play a vital role in the incubation process. By naturally regulating nest temperatures, it helps balance the ratio of male and female hatchlings, ensuring genetic diversity and strengthening future populations.

In December 2024, an Olive Ridley mother turtle—classified as threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List—chose Six Senses Con Dao as her nesting site, marking a significant milestone. The sight of this rare turtle coming ashore to lay eggs at Dat Doc Beach is a promising sign, offering hope for the species’ return and its contribution to the recovery of Vietnam’s rare sea turtle population.

This summer, visit Six Senses Con Dao and take part in an unforgettable experience, where conservation, discovery, and heartfelt connection come together. Witness the wonder of hatchling releases as tiny turtles make their way to the ocean—a magical moment you’ll treasure forever. Enhance your stay with our exclusive offers, making your getaway even more special.

If you stay two nights or more, enjoy our Summer Family Getaway offer, where children up to 12 years old enjoy complimentary lunch and dinner, along with a thoughtful welcome gift to spark excitement from the very start.
