Best Hotels in Con Dao 2026: Six Senses, Mid-Range and Budget Options

· Updated · 3 min read City Guide
Beach at Con Dao island

Luxury

Six Senses Con Dao Dat Doc Beach, 3km from Con Son town. The defining property on the island — private beach, overwater bungalows (unique in southern Vietnam), full spa, and multiple restaurant concepts. Runs a turtle conservation programme with the national park and uses sustainable energy sourcing. ₫10,000,000–40,000,000+ ($400–1,600+) per night. Advance booking essential — occupancy is high year-round.

Mid-range

Con Dao Resort Waterfront location in the centre of town. Colonial-style architecture with a pool. Sea views from upper-floor rooms. Good service for arranging tours and diving. ₫2,000,000–5,000,000 ($80–200) per night.

Poulo Condore Boutique Hotel A smaller property designed with attention to the island’s colonial history. Good location, reliable reviews. ₫1,200,000–2,500,000 ($48–100).

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.

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.

What to look for in Con Dao hotels

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.

Dive operator connections: If diving is a priority, properties with established relationships with the island’s dive centres (Dive Dive Dive, Con Dao Dive Center) can simplify booking. Two-tank dives cost approximately ₫800,000–1,500,000 ($32–60) as of 2026.

Motorbike rental: Essential for reaching the beaches and national park independently. Most properties arrange rental for approximately ₫100,000–150,000 ($4–6) per day as of 2026.

Eating on Con Dao

The town has several Vietnamese restaurants and a few seafood options. A meal at a local restaurant costs approximately ₫60,000–150,000 ($2.40–6) as of 2026. Seafood is fresh but more expensive than mainland Vietnam. Six Senses has multiple restaurant concepts at international resort pricing.

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.

Getting to Con Dao

Flights from HCMC (45 minutes) on ATR-72 aircraft. ₫800,000–2,500,000 ($32–100) as of 2026. Flights from Can Tho also available (35 minutes). Book at least 1–2 weeks ahead — the small aircraft fill up, particularly July–October. There is no practical ferry service for most travellers.
