Con Dao – An Emerald Island Awakening With New Vitality

Con Dao, Ho Chi Minh City – More Than a Destination

Set amid the endless blue, Con Dao—an emerald gem of the sea—is where past and present meet. It preserves some of Vietnam’s most heroic chapters while standing today as a powerful symbol of national courage and endurance.
Yet modern Con Dao is also awakening with renewed energy, embracing contemporary development while still holding fast to the pristine, unspoiled charm that has always defined it.

From above, the island stretches out like a ribbon of shimmering green draped across the sea. The deep blue of the ocean blends seamlessly with the verdant mountains and open sky, creating a breathtaking landscape that captivates every traveler who arrives. Here, a thriving marine ecosystem—with vibrant coral reefs, powder-soft white sands, and crystal-clear waters—invites visitors to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of this island sanctuary.

A Land of Stories, Memory, and Reverence

Con Dao carries the weight of history in a way few places can. From An Son Shrine, honoring Lady Phi Yen—the embodiment of devotion and steadfast loyalty—to Hang Duong Cemetery, where thousands of revolutionary heroes rest, every corner of the island is touched with solemnity. These sacred sites remind visitors of Vietnam’s indomitable past and the value of the peace enjoyed today.

Unique Experiences of an Island Like No Other

Beyond its natural and historical allure, Con Dao offers a collection of unforgettable experiences.
It is the joy of releasing baby sea turtles into the open ocean; the wonder of diving among radiant coral gardens; the thrill of trekking the island’s rugged northwest trails; the serenity of kayaking across clear turquoise waters; or the simple pleasure of enjoying fresh seafood by the shore.

And when sunset settles over Bai Nhat, the entire island falls into a quiet stillness—an atmosphere so peaceful and evocative that it lingers long after visitors leave.

A Symbol of Vitality and Aspiration

More than a tourist destination, Con Dao today stands as a symbol of resilience, hope, and rising momentum.
Amid the dynamic development of New Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao holds its own distinct place—at once a “green treasure chest” of nature and a premium destination on Vietnam’s and the region’s tourism map.
