The world’s best secret islands

Con Dao Islands, Vietnam has listed on Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2011 guide as one of the world’s best secret islands.

Another prison-turned-paradise, the Con Dao islands were home to the most notorious penal colony in Indochina, and continued its grim work until the end of the Vietnam War. Now preserved as Con Dao National Park, the 16 islands are a natural wonderland of dense jungles, jade-coloured waters and white-sand beaches, home to dugongs, dolphins, turtles and spectacular coral reefs.
