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.

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.

If you stay three nights or more, enjoy our Flights On Us offer, which includes complimentary round-trip flights from Ho Chi Minh City for adults.

No matter the length of your stay, our dedicated flight concierge service, in partnership with Vietnam Airlines, ensures a seamless journey from booking to arrival, making every step of your travel as effortless as the days you’ll spend in paradise.

From intimate Turtle Talks to the unforgettable sight of hatchlings making their way to the sea, Six Senses Con Dao offers a rare opportunity to be part of something meaningful. This is more than just a stay—it’s a chance to connect, to contribute, and to witness nature at its most extraordinary.

Don’t miss the chance to create unforgettable summer memories with your family. To book your stay or learn more, please visit our official website or contact our reservations team at: reservations-condao@sixsenses.com.

The New Definition of Luxury: When Quite Luxury Becomes the Ultimate Symbol of the Elite

Quiet luxury is redefining the standards of sophistication, shifting the focus to quality, sustainability, and minimalism rather than ostentatious extravagance. This emerging trend marks a transformation in the world of high-end living—where conscious refinement replaces flashy displays, becoming a new way for the elite to express their lifestyle and identity.

So, when the ultra-wealthy no longer need luxury brands to validate their status, what truly sets them apart? For the top 0.1%, luxury is no longer measured by material wealth but by exclusive experiences and rare privileges that only a select few can access. It is no longer about ownership but about curating a life enriched by meaningful experiences and a legacy of distinction.

Private Jets – The Ultimate Status Symbol of the Elite

In HBO’s acclaimed series Succession, beyond the exquisitely tailored wardrobes, the Roy family’s retreat to a secluded lakeside estate—accessible only by private jet—perfectly encapsulates the unparalleled privilege of the ultra-wealthy. Owning a private jet is not just a financial statement but a declaration of power, freedom, and time optimization—values at the core of elite lifestyles.

The appeal of private aviation extends beyond luxury; it offers absolute privacy, maximum flexibility, and unrestricted travel, privileges that commercial flights simply cannot provide. In a world where personalization reigns supreme, private jets have become the preferred mode of travel for those who prioritize efficiency and exclusivity.

For the top 0.1%, a private jet is not just a means of transportation—it is a mobile office, a private sanctuary, and a statement of refined living. Billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bernard Arnault own Gulfstream G700 or Bombardier Global 7500 jets, each tailored to their specific tastes, featuring executive meeting spaces, five-star hotel-standard bedrooms, and exclusive relaxation areas. Every flight is more than a journey—it is a bespoke experience that embodies the very essence of luxury.

Art & Rare Collectibles – A Timeless Mark of Prestige

The value of art is not just in its multi-million-dollar price tags but in its historical, cultural, and emotional significance. For the ultra-wealthy, collecting art is a way to connect with timeless values while also turning their passion into a long-term investment. A Picasso painting, a rare sculpture, or a limited-edition Patek Philippe timepiece is more than just a prized possession—it is a reflection of one’s refined taste and visionary thinking.

But art is not limited to paintings and sculptures—fine wine collecting is another cherished pursuit among connoisseurs who appreciate the value of time. The finest bottles are judged not only by taste but also by their provenance, history, and the prestige of aging well. The amber hues and complex flavors of Bordeaux Grand Cru or Domaine de la Romanée-Conti tell stories of centuries-old craftsmanship, making them not just beverages, but living pieces of history.

Collecting art and fine wine is not just a hobby—it is a lifestyle, where every acquisition tells a story of heritage, sophistication, and an unwavering appreciation for timeless excellence.

Conquering Elite Sports – When Status is Defined by Experience

For the world’s wealthiest, luxury is no longer just about possessions—it’s about extraordinary experiences that demand skill, dedication, and access to exclusive circles. Participating in aristocratic sports is not just about competition—it is a symbol of elite status and an opportunity to build meaningful connections.

Equestrian sports, for example, are both exhilarating and financially demanding, requiring substantial investment in horse training, specialized care, and entry into prestigious competitions. The cost of owning a top-tier racehorse can run into millions of dollars, covering everything from specialized training to medical care and elite event participation. But for the ultra-wealthy, the real value lies in the thrill of the race, the prestige of ownership, and the elite connections made at world-renowned events such as Royal Ascot or the Kentucky Derby.

Similarly, yacht racing is a sport that combines elegance, luxury, and strategy, making it a favorite among global elites. Yachts are masterpieces of design and technology, offering a blend of freedom, adventure, and exclusivity. Iconic races like America’s Cup and Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race attract billionaires, business tycoons, and political figures—where beyond the competition, the events serve as a platform for networking, deal-making, and forging high-profile alliances.

From horseback riding to yacht racing, elite sports are more than just pastimes—they are expressions of status, intellect, and the elite’s pursuit of perfection.

Private Island Retreats – When Quiet Luxury Becomes the Ultimate Statement

In an era where glitz and glamour are no longer the sole markers of status, the ultra-wealthy are gravitating towards bespoke experiences, ultimate privacy, and sustainable luxury. Secluded luxury resorts, surrounded by untouched nature and rich cultural heritage, have become the sanctuaries of choice for those seeking true balance and renewal.

A vacation is no longer just a getaway—it is a journey towards deeper meaning, culture, and connection with the natural world.

The raw beauty of nature is the most elusive luxury, and that is why the elite seek destinations that offer unparalleled exclusivity—places where they can experience pristine landscapes and heritage without compromise. This is why Six Senses Con Dao remains a top choice for the world’s most discerning travelers.

Nestled within a protected national park, where untouched beaches meet lush mountains, Six Senses Con Dao offers absolute seclusion for those looking to disconnect from the chaos of the world. More than just a retreat, the resort honors local traditions, offering guests a culturally immersive experience that blends luxury with authenticity.

But the elite are not just searching for a place—they are looking for experiences crafted uniquely for them. With a commitment to sustainability and mindful living, Six Senses Con Dao curates bespoke experiences tailored to each guest’s desires. Whether it’s a private beach dinner prepared by a world-class chef, a rejuvenating wellness journey at the Spa & Wellness Village, or an exclusive exploration of Con Dao’s storied past, every moment is designed to awaken the senses and elevate the soul.

The Rise of Quiet Luxury: A New Perspective on Prestige

The rise of quiet luxury is redefining what it means to be truly elite—where personalized experiences and meaningful values matter more than material excess.

For the ultra-high-net-worth individuals shaping today’s world, status is no longer about wealth alone—it is about once-in-a-lifetime experiences, legacy-defining moments, and a connection to something greater than themselves.

From private jets and fine art collections to tailor-made retreats at the world’s most exclusive resorts, luxury has evolved into a highly personal, deeply transformative pursuit.

In this new era, true prestige is not measured by what you own—but by the stories you create and the legacy you leave behind.
