I-Resort Mud Bath

I-Resort Nha Trang

Nha Trang’s best-known mineral mud bath resort, with wooden-barrel mud pools built into the hillside, hot spring waterfalls and pools. It offers Nha Trang’s signature mud-bathing experience.

Mud baths are a signature Nha Trang experience: the local mineral-rich hot springs and mud are believed to benefit the skin and joints. I-Resort lies about 5 km northwest of the city centre, at the foot of Vĩnh Ngọc mountain. It opened in 2012 and has the finest setting of the area’s mud-bath resorts. The grounds follow the contours of the hillside and are built from timber and stone. The standard routine is to soak for 20 minutes in warm mineral mud in a wooden barrel or stone pool (private barrels or shared pools are available), rinse off, soak in the mineral hot spring, and finally relax in the warm swimming pool, the spa waterfall and the “artificial beach” pool. The whole visit takes about 2–3 hours. The resort also has a children’s water park, restaurants and massage services, so you can spend half a day here. Prices depend on the package: a shared mud pool costs about 350,000 VND per person, and a private double wooden barrel costs about 1–1.3 million VND, both including the pool and hot spring. Towels and lockers are provided (deposit required), but you must bring your own swimsuit. Opening hours are about 08:00–18:00. Other options include Thap Ba mud bath, which is closer to the city, long-established and inexpensive; 100 Egg, a more luxurious egg-shaped mud bath about 30 minutes from the city; and Vinpearl Hot Tan on Hòn Tre (Pearl Island). Getting there: take Grab from Trần Phú Street for about 15 minutes (about 80,000–100,000 VND). I-Resort and Thap Ba run free shuttle buses from many city hotels, which can be booked in advance. Note: mud stains light-coloured swimsuits, so wear dark ones. Do not apply sunscreen before the mud bath. Pregnant women, people with cardiovascular disease and people with broken skin should not go. Wait one hour after eating before soaking.
