ISLAND EXPERIENCE
AT SIX SENSES
CON DAO
In colonial times, the islands of
Con Dao (also known as Poulo Con-
dore) were much feared, as a notori-
ous French prison was located on Con
Son, the largest island of this remote
southern archipelago. Many of Viet-
nam’s most famous freedom fighters
served time on this lonely, windswept
island, which lies 185 km southeast
of the port city of Vung Tau. Today,
the archipelago’s residents survive by
fishing, diving for pearls, collecting
swallows’ nests, and farming. Visitors
will find starkly beautiful cliffs, long,
untouched beaches, and patches of
thick, old-growth forest. Sea turtles
lay their eggs on the islands’ remote
beaches, while dolphins live offshore.
Just 60 minutes via Vietnam Airlines
from Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao offers
the perfect escape from modern life. A
four day package (all inclusive) from
Ho Chi Minh City (featured on www.
luxurytravelvietnam.com) is priced at
$2,832 USD per couple.
