Luxury

Six Senses Con Dao Dat Doc Beach, 3km from Con Son town.

Côn Đảo Camping Not camping in the conventional sense - a collection of bungalows on a beachfront near town. Simpler than a hotel but with more outdoor character. ₫800,000–1,500,000 ($32–60).

Budget

ATC Hotel Con Dao Straightforward mid-range that edges into budget territory. Clean rooms, competent service, helpful for tour logistics. ₫600,000–1,200,000 ($24–48).

Family guesthouses (nha nghi) Several family-run operations in the town centre. Basic a/c rooms, simple breakfast. ₫300,000–600,000 ($12–24). The island is small enough that even budget accommodation gives access to everything by motorbike.

Con Son town - the best base

The town sits on the south coast of the main island. Most guesthouses and mid-range hotels are within the town or along the beachfront road. Walking access to the prison museum, restaurants, the pier, and the national park office. The most practical base for travellers who plan to move around and use the island for both history and nature.

Con Dao has limited total accommodation capacity. In peak season (July–September for turtle watching, and January–April for diving) and on Vietnamese public holidays, even the budget options fill up. The island has no overflow option - if the accommodation is full, you cannot stay.

Booking notes

Con Dao has limited accommodation capacity relative to peak demand. Book well in advance for July–October (turtle season) and Vietnamese public holidays. Last-minute availability is genuinely scarce in season. Six Senses books out months ahead in high season and should be reserved as far in advance as possible.

Airport transfer: The airport is 15km from Con Son town. Most properties arrange pickup for ₫100,000–200,000 ($4–8) as of 2026. Confirm when booking.

Motorbike rental: Essential for reaching beaches and the national park. Most guesthouses arrange motorbike rental for approximately ₫100,000–150,000 ($4–6) per day as of 2026. The island is small enough (57 sq km) that everything is reachable in 30 minutes.

The island has limited convenience stores and no supermarket. Bring any specialty items you need. Basic supplies, sunscreen, and snacks are available at the small shops in Con Son town.

Cash and connectivity

Bring sufficient Vietnamese dong - the island has limited ATMs and card acceptance is inconsistent at budget guesthouses. 4G coverage from Viettel reaches most of the main island. Wifi at guesthouses is variable in quality.
