Côn Đảo
in Vietnam
What the crowds missed, Con Dao kept. Protected jungle, near-empty beaches, coral reefs that recovered while Vietnam's more famous coastline was busy becoming famous, and a colonial prison complex that gives the islands a history worth understanding before you settle into the hammock. It is a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City and a world away from everywhere else. Go before the word gets fully out.
