A masterful piece of modern design, framed by the beauty of nature
Merging exceptional design, an unrivalled location, flawless personalized service and the highest environmental principles, Six Senses Private Residences Con Dao is a truly remarkable property set in an area of outstanding natural beauty off the southeast coast of Vietnam.
Resting in the quiet waters of the South China Sea, the Con Dao Archipelago remains a pristine gem – one of the very few natural spots still untouched by the modern world. This archipelago is one of Southeast Asia’s most breathtaking getaways.
Situated 230 kilometres or an hour’s flight south from Ho Chi Minh City (the official name for what many Vietnamese still call Saigon), Con Dao is a 16-island archipelago where sheer granite cliffs border empty, white sand beaches and coral-rich aquamarine waters. This truly is a picture-perfect coastline, with nothing but the odd brightly coloured fishing boat to distract visitors from the views across the sea and the archipelago beyond.
Set within one of the most beautiful locations on Con Son Island, the Six Senses Con Dao is the newest addition to the Six Senses’ collection of award-winning resorts. Nestled into the dunes along a 1.5-kilometre crescent-shaped beach with the turquoise waters and the Elephant Head Mountain as a backdrop, this beachfront retreat is an escapist’s paradise.
This is the setting for the discriminating few who will experience the distinct and prestigious opportunity to be a part of something so unique, so amazing, so extraordinary. Even by Six Senses’ standards, this is an exceptionally beautiful property.
The architecturally significant villas available for private ownership wow without distracting from the awe-inspiring setting. Light-filled interiors exude minimalist elegance in their aesthetic of peace and serenity. The contemporary architecture has been designed empathetically to enhance the serene surroundings with materials and colours blending seamlessly into the terrain.
The 15 ultra-modern villas boast space and privacy, along with an uncompromising standard of luxury. Occupying 1,700-2,300m² plots, the ultra-stylish residences enjoy 542-67m² of living space and have all been built with sustainable materials, including reclaimed teak from Vietnam’s interior. Each of the 3- and 4-bedroom villas enjoy a 70-100m² infinity pool, several deck areas, a master bedroom with walk-through dressing area and open-air shower, large open living and dining room, custom-made kitchen with pantry and Bose hi-fi system.
Six Senses Con Dao won the International Architecture Award for 2010 from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, for its ultra-contemporary architecture.
Complementing this dream home will be 5-star amenities. Villa owners will enjoy access to the resort’s facilities, as well as the option to enter the resort’s rental program.
The heart of the resort has been designed to resemble a traditional Vietnamese fishing village and marketplace. Covering an area of 19.3 hectares of secluded private beachfront, the property showcases two restaurants, offering a range of atmospheres and cuisines, from traditional street food to beachside seafood barbecues and romantic private dining.
There is also a bar, a large swimming pool, gym, gallery, library, deli, non-motorized water sports and a world-class spa with four indoor treatment rooms, one Thai therapy room, three outdoor treatment salas, a yoga and meditation pavilion and a juice bar.
Villa owners enjoy many privileges that include a 20% discount on food and beverages and spa services, plus complementary access to the fitness centre, butler and housekeeping services (for a maximum 45 days per annum), as well as resort activities that include yoga classes, Vietnamese cooking classes, trekking and outdoor activities.
Farther afield, discover deserted beaches, magnificent jungle forests, plus rare wildlife and marine life. Go snorkelling, diving and hiking. This beautiful area has been a designated nature and marine reserve for decades. Its unspoilt beauty is home to many endangered and indigenous species.
The mountainous jungle-clad interior is home to monkeys and black squirrels, while the surrounding sea is filled with 349 species of coral and over 1,400 marine species – not just reef fish, but a thriving population of hawksbill and green turtles. Dugongs, a rare and endangered relative of the manatee, have occasionally been spotted at high tide from the promontory that marks the southernmost edge of the Six Senses beach. The archipelago is recognised as the best diving spot in Vietnam.
Six Senses Private Residences Con Dao will appeal to sybarites with its privacy and luxury, set in the most idyllic location imaginable.
Prices: From USD2 million.
