About Con Dao

Con Dao is a remote archipelago of 16 islands located in the Ba Ria-Vung Tau region, about 90 km from the Vietnamese mainland. Known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich history as a former French colonial prison, the islands offer a peaceful retreat with limited tourism and authentic coastal charm. The archipelago is ideal for those seeking untouched natural beauty and historical exploration away from crowded tourist destinations.

💡Why Visit?

Con Dao combines pristine island beaches with fascinating colonial history, offering an offbeat alternative to Vietnam's mainstream beach destinations. The islands are perfect for snorkeling, diving, and discovering remnants of its complex past while enjoying solitude and natural beauty.
