Spa & wellness · TRADITIONAL MASSAGES IN VIETNAM
The good rooms fill up first and the famous ones fill up weeks ahead. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
At Herbal Spa in Da Nang, you receive a one-hour dry bodywork session based on Thai massage and Shiatsu. Your therapist uses pressure, acupressure, assisted stretching, and hands-on muscle work, with time to adjust attention to tight areas. Tea and light snacks are included, and the private visit ends where it begins.
At Hoang Spa in Hanoi’s Old Square, you can choose a one-hour Thai massage using firm pressure, stretching, and optional cracking techniques. Ask for oil or no oil, and discuss your preferred pressure before treatment. Therapists including Lua, Loan, Chi, and Jun are praised for careful service. Tea or coffee is included.
At Cam On Spa on Chu Van An Street, choose a 30-minute foot massage with acupressure or a back, neck, shoulder, and head treatment after a 15-minute herbal foot soak inspired by the royal Hue court. Warm aroma oils, tea, bottled water, and coconut cake are included.
At Five Senses Spa in Hoi An, you spend about 90 minutes in a traditional Thai massage without oils or lotions. You remain clothed while the therapist compresses, stretches, pulls, and rocks the body. Pickup is offered, the activity is private, and an 8:00 am start suits early risers. Ask about therapists such as Bao or Dieu if available.
