RitoTabi Expert Review
Famous for hosting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, this is the premier luxury eco-resort in Con Dao. All villas feature private pools, seamlessly blending sustainability with ultimate hospitality. The resort grounds and beach are vast, yet meticulously designed so that not even a shadow of a building is visible from the parallel road. It delivers the ultimate “cocoon” stay — where you can forget the outside world in absolute privacy.

Recommended for

  • Experience the world's highest standard of eco-luxury
  • Spend time in complete privacy without seeing anyone

⚠️ Points to Note

  • The most expensive stay in Con Dao by far
  • Somewhat far from the town center (Con Son Town)
Dynamic vertical shot of the Six Senses resort and beach

Endless white sand and emerald sea in a dynamic vertical composition.

Six Senses sign surrounded by lush greenery, feeling like a secret entrance

The entrance sign that heightens the anticipation for a “secret hideout.”

PointKey expert selection points
  • Prologue to a Secret HideawayThe sign quietly standing among lush greenery is truly a “secret entrance.” Once you step inside, a different world completely isolated from the hustle and bustle spreads before you.
  • Absolute Privacy GuaranteedThe vast resort grounds and beach are carefully arranged to be invisible from the outside road. The overwhelming sense of being “hidden away” while maintaining total privacy all day is the greatest value here.
  • Ultimate “Hideaway” StayThere are no markets or restaurants nearby, so the stay revolves around the resort. While it’s only about 5 minutes by car or bike to the center, the right way to enjoy this place is to stay put and indulge in luxurious solitude.

Runner's Review:There is an entrance to a scenic hiking trail called “Sống lưng núi lò vôi” within walking distance of the hotel. If you have the energy, I highly recommend it. Running within the vast resort grounds or along the 1.6km beach is comfortable, but the sense of achievement and the panoramic views from the mountain side are exceptional.

RitoTabi Expert Review
Located in the heart of Con Son Town, this is the most loved modern luxury resort in Con Dao. The balance of price, facilities, design, and service is so high it remains unchallenged. It is the overwhelming No.1 hotel that you should “consider first” when planning your stay. Its perfect location as a base for town walks significantly enhances the satisfaction of your trip.

Recommended for

  • Top-class sophisticated design and facilities on the island
  • Located in the center, very convenient for dining and shopping

⚠️ Points to Note

  • Slightly less “hidden away” compared to Six Senses
  • Grounds are not as vast as Orson, offering less of a sense of openness
The Secret Con Dao: Hotel exterior under the blue sky with a beautiful pool

Harmony between hotel architecture and the pool.

The Secret Con Dao: Infinity pool merging with the Con Dao sea

Infinity pool blending with the ocean.

The Secret Con Dao: Stylish cafe area by the poolside

Luxurious time relaxing by the pool.

The Secret Con Dao: Sophisticated design of the front reception

Elegant reception area welcoming your arrival.

PointKey expert selection points
  • The No-Brainer Pick When You Can't DecideIf your budget allows, there’s no need to look for other options. Once you experience the quality here, you'll never risk settling for less and regretting it.
  • Flawless LocationThe only minor downside is the lack of a private sandy beach, but since you can access the famous Lo Voi Beach in 2-3 minutes on foot, it’s actually not an issue at all.
  • Vast Pool with Resort VibesThe large pool facing the sea creates an overwhelming resort atmosphere. Being within a 5-minute walk of the market, prison, museum, and numerous cafes is also a major advantage.

Runner's Review:0 minutes from the hotel, the coastal road right in front is the best course. Running along the seaside from An Hai to Lo Voi allows you to experience the gentle atmosphere of locals cooling off in the evening. Also, the gym facing the sea is great for strength training or walking while enjoying scenic beach views.

RitoTabi Expert Review
A hideaway location tucked between lush green mountains and the quiet Ben Dam Bay, south of the town center. After winding through lush, untouched nature, this striking modern resort suddenly comes into view. Because of its distance from the town, you can fully savor the feeling of a resort at the very edge of the world surrounded by emerald green seas and deep greenery. The mountains of Con Dao tower like a wall in front of the hotel, while a wild and beautiful private beach spreads on the other side, making it a very special stay.

Recommended for

  • Watch one of Con Dao's best sunrises from your bed
  • Great value with a vast pool and sufficient facilities

⚠️ Points to Note

  • Far from town; a car or bike is essential for dining and shopping
  • No shops or stores in the immediate vicinity
Sophisticated front area of Orson Hotel

Modern and spacious front reception.

Vast pool leading to the blue Con Dao sea

Panoramic pool with an ocean view.

Private beach at Orson Hotel

Quiet white sand beach with excessive privacy.

Beautiful plants and mountain views from the hotel entrance

Grand natural beauty of the mountains towering behind.

PointKey expert selection points
  • Embraced by Mountains and SeaThe winding approach, though not a mountain road, heightens expectations. The contrast between the mountains towering at the entrance and the sea spreading in front is a power not found in town hotels.
  • Largest Infinity Pool on the IslandThe pool is designed so that its edge seems to melt into the sea, and its scale is one of the best on the island. It’s the perfect environment to spend half a day just lying on a deck chair and watching the sea.
  • Mobility is EssentialSince it’s 15-20 minutes away from town by bike, renting a bike is essential if you want to move around freely. In exchange, the beauty of the starry night sky is exceptional.

Runner's Review:I especially recommend the 4km round-trip run to Bai Nhat. While you don’t run along the coast the whole way, the overwhelming beauty that suddenly appears near Bai Nhat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For a slightly longer walk, try the 2km+ round trip to Hong Dam Beach to enjoy typical Vietnamese scenery with local houses.

🌊 Classic resort directly on the beach. Check availability for popular ocean-view rooms.
RitoTabi Expert Review
Directly connected to An Hai Beach, this is a must-consider stay if you seek a beach resort experience in Con Dao. The classic scenery, where the sand expands just beyond the garden lined with coconut trees and cafes, charms many travelers. You can also overlook the sea from the well-maintained pool, making it a top candidate for beach-focused stays.

Recommended for

  • Overwhelming location with 0-minute walk to the beach
  • Flat grounds, easy to move around, and a calm atmosphere

⚠️ Points to Note

  • Not suitable for those seeking latest facilities or modern design
  • Breakfast variety is somewhat modest
Con Dao Resort: Beautiful hotel appearance from the poolside with tropical plants and red roofs

Poolside scenery where red tiles shine against the blue sky.

Con Dao Resort: Calm pool surface and the transparent An Hai Beach sea beyond

Pool with a sentimental atmosphere where your gaze escapes to the sea.

Con Dao Resort: Open seaside restaurant where you can enjoy grand views while feeling the breeze

Dining where the sound of waves and scenic views are the best seasoning.

PointKey expert selection points
  • The Perfection of a Tropical ResortSitting on a beach chair and watching the sea through the gaps in the coconut trees. This is one of the few hotels where you can truly live the classic beach resort fantasy. The expansive garden flows so seamlessly into the neighboring Tan Son Nhat that the boundary between them almost disappears.
  • Good Distance and ConvenienceWhile slightly away from the center, it’s within walking distance. Furthermore, directly across the road, there are restaurants, cafes, and bars, so you won’t have trouble with dining options even without a bike.

Runner's Review:Right outside the hotel, the course runs along the sea from An Hai Beach to Lo Voi. You can start jogging in 0 minutes while feeling the warm local atmosphere of islanders cooling off by the sea and eating fruit at dusk.

RitoTabi Expert Review
Seeking resort vibes while keeping the budget low? This is the definitive beachfront choice. Adjacent to Con Dao Resort, it offers the same great location and beach access but in a more casual and value-oriented stay.

Recommended for

  • Friendly pricing despite being right on the beach
  • Quiet and calm environment

⚠️ Points to Note

  • Overall somewhat old-fashioned structure
Tan Son Nhat: Front view of simple yet warm rooms reflecting Vietnamese style

Calm time flowing in front of the rooms.

Tan Son Nhat: Open green courtyard in front of the rooms leading to An Hai Beach

Emerald sea viewed beyond the refreshing courtyard.

PointKey expert selection points
  • The Luxury of Hanging Out at Bar200The famous “Bar 200” on-site is definitely a spot worth visiting at least once. The cafe/bar experience while catching the pleasant breeze from the beach is a special perk of this stay.
  • Rooms with Open Courtyard ViewsRooms on the beach side (courtyard side) have a luxurious layout where the sea spreads beyond an open courtyard. While there is a bit of a distance to the water’s edge, the atmosphere of the well-maintained courtyard is wonderful, and you can spend hours just sitting on a chair in front of your room.

Runner's Review:The seaside jogging environment is top-class, just like the neighboring Con Dao Resort. The coastline from An Hai to Lo Voi right outside the hotel is a great training course that never gets boring, where local daily life and the beautiful sea intersect.

RitoTabi Expert Review
Instead of luxury resort views, this hotel offers overwhelming value and convenience for town walks, making it a top cost-performance choice in Con Son Town. It features clean rooms, free airport shuttles, English-speaking staff, and even an open pool & work space on the 6th floor. It's the perfect choice for a light-footed trip where you roam the island by day and enjoy the local energy of markets and stalls by night.

Recommended for

  • Relatively low price with free airport shuttle and first laundry service
  • Equipped with an elevator. Front desk is English-proficient and very friendly
  • Market and famous cafes within walking distance. Perfect base for town walks

⚠️ Points to Note

  • Not suitable for those seeking latest facilities or modern design
  • Some chairs (metal) are not suitable for long-term work

Check!What I loved about my stay
  • Reliable English Support and Generous ServiceThe women at the front desk are very fluent in English and friendly to talk to. Their own in-house restaurant guide is a thoughtful touch, and there are no communication worries. Airport transfers are also free.
  • Hidden Gem: 6F Multi-functional SpaceThe pool on the very edge of the building is a bit thrilling, but the adjacent large table & chair area is excellent. It’s a very usable space for eating Banh Mi bought outside or as a workation hub.
  • Comfort Blending into Daily LifeWhile not particularly new, cleaning is thorough, especially the bathrooms. Large rooms with fridges and big windows. Plus, Con Dao Market is nearby, making it blissful to get fresh fruit cheaply every morning.

Runner's Review:The best “urban run” base. I recommend heading out early, running past the lively morning market crowd, and pushing straight through to the coastline. When you return, make clever use of the free first laundry service.
