A 60 minute flight from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City lies the islands of Con Dao where you can escape to a place of peace, relaxation and heavenly comforts at the Poulo Condor Resort. Located on an immaculate stretch of white sands, the 4* boutique resort oozes colonial grace and charm, settings itself apart in style and value from the other options on the island. The 36 suites and villas are set within 10 hectares of tropical gardens and all feature either mountian or sea views. Want the best room in the house? Go for the absolutely huge Indochina Pool Villas or for a family, take one of the 4 Poulo Condor 2 Bedroom Villas.

The Wild Pineapple offers a great menu with light meals, drinks and tapas throughout the mornings and traditional French and Vietnamese cuisine in the evenings, or why not stay by the pool and enjoy cocktails and snacks as you soak up the sun and stunning sea views. The main town is just a short distance away and bicycles can be borrowed from the resort (free of charge) to cycle around the island or venture to town for local cuisine. In addition you can enjoy water sports at the resort, cooking classes or arrange tours around the island including hiking, boat trips or a tour to the famous Tiger Jail. A litter closer to home, laze away the days by the huge infinity pool or relax in the cosy Reading Room before a walk along the beach at sunset – and boy are they magical here!
