Not only famous for its pristine nature and unique historical value, Con Dao Island has just been ranked among the top 15 best honeymoon destinations in the world by Vogue magazine, alongside "romantic paradises" such as the French Riviera (France), Tuscany (Italy), New Zealand, and Greek islands.
In Vogue's recently published list of Best Honeymoon Destinations, Con Dao Island is a rare representative from Southeast Asia, and the only Vietnamese destination included. According to Vogue, this island is particularly suitable for couples seeking a private honeymoon, away from the crowds, where nature and emotions are prioritized.
Vogue describes Con Dao as a destination for couples "who want to escape the world after months of busy wedding preparations." Unlike the bustling Phuket or Bali, Con Dao captivates visitors with its pristine forests, crystal-clear blue waters, nearly untouched sandy beaches, and slow-paced lifestyle.

According to Vogue, the tranquility and pristine nature of Con Dao are what make it an ideal honeymoon destination. Couples can spend time strolling on uncrowded beaches, watching the sunset, snorkeling, trekking in the national park, or simply enjoying private moments together.
Besides the scenery, Vogue also highlighted the role of high-end resort systems in Con Dao, especially those resorts focused on private and personalized experiences. Six Senses Con Dao was mentioned as an icon of luxury resort tourism in Vietnam, with its private pool villas, spas nestled in nature, and specialized wellness services.
This island is gradually establishing itself as a high-end resort destination.
According to Vogue, the "fewer rooms, more privacy" resort model, which allows couples to fully enjoy their honeymoon without being disrupted by crowds, is increasingly valued by the global luxury travel industry.
Con Dao's appearance on Vogue's list demonstrates a clear shift in the destination's image on the international tourism map. Previously, Con Dao was primarily known as a historical and spiritual site, but now it is gradually being positioned as a high-end resort destination, catering to high-spending travelers and those seeking immersive experiences.
With its natural advantages, tranquil atmosphere, and increasingly sophisticated resort ecosystem, Con Dao is gradually asserting its position not only as a domestic destination but also as a "honeymoon paradise" on the world tourism map.
