Meanwhile, The Secret Restaurant with old brick walls combined subtly with strong elements of modern design, attracts diners with culinary delights from across the region, including spectacular dishes inspired by the local culture and its cuisine.
An exciting additional feature to the resort is an infinity pool overlooking the sea and is also the location of Coral Deck, a chilled spaced inspired by Con Dao’s pristine coral reefs.
It provides the perfect vantage point to lounge during the day and frame those perfect “Insta-worthy” photos of Con Dao’s breathtaking vistas, followed up by romantic dinners under the starlit skies.
According to Mr. Richard Mehr, The Secret Con Dao’s General Manager, the hotel reinforces commitments towards environmental, social, and cultural conservation.
The Secret Con Dao not only elevates the experience for a satisfying stay in sleek, stylish spaces with warm and professional services, but also presents the fascinating local culture and life, as well as integrating indigenous culture into everyday experiences.
“We are careful about the environment and take action to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste,” he says. “We are also equipped with solar panels to heat water and produce part of the electricity for the hotel.”
Being the first hotel owned and managed by AKYN Group, The Secret Con Dao is considered an important milestone for the company and marks AKYN Group’s entrance into Vietnam’s hospitality industry.
“The Secret Con Dao is our desired start towards the goal of becoming one of the pioneers in Vietnam’s hospitality industry,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Thư, Chairman and CEO of AKYN Group.
