Luxury Travel Ltd is an award winning luxury tour operator
in Vietnam and unveils very often new upscale travel experiences for the most
discerning travelers.
In colonial times, the islands of Con Dao (also known as Poulo Condore) were
much feared, as a notorious French prison was located on Con Son, the largest
island of this remote southern archipelago.
Many of Vietnam's most famous freedom fighters served time on this lonely,
windswept island, which lies 185 km south east 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 flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao offers the perfect escape
from modern life. Clients also can visit Con Dao Island by ship from Vung Tau
beach or by charter helicopter.
Six Senses (sixsenses.com) recently announced a new property in Con Dao,
Vietnam is taking bookings NOW.
Only a 60-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Six Senses Con Dao opened in
December 2010.
This secluded island hideaway in the East Sea is a hedonist's dream of 40
luxury villas on a truly idyllic stretch of white sand beach, each with its own
private infinity pool, open-air bathroom and living area, and unobstructed
views of the sea.
Like its fellow Six Senses properties it's more than just a luxury beach
holiday, Con Dao offers an outstanding range of spa journeys and wellness
activities. Here you can enjoy a moonlit dinner for two at the water's edge,
take a private cookery class in your own villa, hike in search of the local
wildlife, stay up late to watch turtles nesting on the beach...or simply lie
back, relax and draw breath amidst the natural beauty of this Vietnamese
paradise.
Unlike some other concept hotels, Con Dao truly embraces its surroundings -
each villa is built with materials from sustainable sources (mirroring the
ethos of the brand), while providing the most breath-taking view of the
island. From catamaran sailing to cookery, from diving to dining, Con Dao
is cool hideaway for all ages, tastes and sensibilities.
Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) Unveils four day luxury vacation
packages from Saigon To Con Dao, inclusive of three nights in Six Senses Con
Dao with daily breakfast, all transfer and pick up and drop off services,
taxes, return air tickets for only 1075 USD per person. This offer is only

When to go:
The best time to travel to the south-eastern coast of Vietnam is December
through to April during dry season. Summer time from May to September is a good
time to rest and relax but expect some tropical rain.
