Tours to Vietnam: what to know

Spa and wellness in Vietnam is an affordable holiday with treatment programmes on the coast. The best time to travel from Almaty is the dry season: in Nha Trang from February to August, on Phu Quoc from November to March. A course of massage and detox costs from 300,000 dong per session, while a week-long programme at a clinic costs several times less than a European one.

Visa, flight and first days: what a tourist from Almaty should consider

Preparation for a wellness trip to Vietnam begins long before boarding the plane. Let us look at what is important for a tourist from Almaty to consider.

Documents and insurance for the trip

Arranging a spa and wellness trip begins with documents. An insurance policy with coverage from 10,000 USD is required for a visa, and it is better to include sea and mountain risks separately. It is worth applying for a visa in advance online or on arrival at the airports of Nha Trang, Da Nang and Phu Quoc. There are no direct flights from Almaty to Nha Trang and Phu Quoc; usually people fly via Seoul, Istanbul or Doha with one or two connections. The journey takes almost a day, so it is better not to plan the first days at the resort too intensively. Medical insurance for such a trip should cover both treatment and transfer to the clinic. Such a policy removes unnecessary hassle if something does not go to plan.

Acclimatisation and time difference

The time difference with Kazakhstan is plus 2 hours, and the body gets used to it in one or two days. Acclimatisation after a flight to Nha Trang or Da Nang takes 1–2 days, so it is better to schedule the first spa and wellness procedures for the third day. On the first day, it is worth drinking more and sleeping according to local time, not Almaty time. A light walk along the promenade helps you get into the rhythm faster. A sharp start with massage and baths right after the plane has the opposite effect. If you have arrived on Phu Quoc, give yourself the same two days to rest.

When to go for wellness: seasons and weather

Vietnam's climate varies by region, and whether you get the dry season or rain depends on the month. Below are reference points for resorts where spa and wellness are well developed.

Dry season in the south and central provinces

The dry season in Nha Trang lasts from February to August, and this is the best time for spa and wellness on the coast. On Phu Quoc, the dry season falls in November–March, while in Da Nang and Hoi An it is comfortable from February to August. In these months, humidity is lower, the sea is calm, and treatments on open terraces are more pleasant. High season in Hoi An and Mui Ne is December–February, and spa salons there operate by advance booking. In winter, southern Vietnam is warm, but short rains are possible in Nha Trang. It is worth planning a wellness course with a couple of extra days for the weather. Such a schedule allows you not to reschedule procedures.

Typhoons and humidity: who should be careful

Typhoons on Vietnam's central coast are possible in September–November, and in Da Nang and Hoi An some spa centres close for maintenance. Humidity during the rainy season exceeds 80%, and in the south rains occur from May to October. People with cardiovascular diseases should coordinate a wellness trip with a doctor. In such months, it is better to choose treatments in enclosed complexes with air conditioning. Mui Ne loses part of its beach holidays during the rainy season, but spa salons operate more calmly. Nha Trang in September–November also gets rain, although less often than Hoi An. If you are going for wellness rather than the beach, the shoulder season offers low prices.

How to choose a spa centre and not make a mistake with booking?

Vietnam's resorts offer dozens of salons and clinics, and the choice depends on the programme and budget. Let us look at what to pay attention to when booking.

Massage, detox and traditional methods

The Vietnamese massage school combines techniques from Thai and Chinese traditions, and a basic course lasts from an hour. Classic body massage, foot massage and herbal compresses are the most popular services in the spa centres of Nha Trang and Da Nang. Detox programmes include cleansing, herbal teas and light meals, and the course usually lasts 3–10 days. The Vietnamese method often uses local herbs, coconut oil and rice scrubs. On Phu Quoc and in Mui Ne, spa salons at hotels are popular, where bookings go through reception. Before a wellness course, it is worth checking the master's qualifications and the duration of the session. If you have chronic illnesses, tell them before the procedures begin. This approach makes the holiday safer.

Booking, tips and payment on site

It is better to book spa treatments in Vietnam one or two days in advance, and in high season a week in advance. In Hoi An and Mui Ne, many salons accept only advance bookings from December to February. Tips in spa centres are not mandatory, but for a quality massage it is customary to leave 50,000–100,000 dong. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at hotels and clinics in major cities, while in Mui Ne and at markets cash is more often needed. Exchange offices at Cam Ranh and Da Nang airports give an unfavourable rate; it is better to exchange currency at banks and jewellery shops in the city.

What to put in the suitcase and how to prepare the body?

Packing for wellness in Vietnam differs from an ordinary beach holiday. Here is what will be useful in the suitcase and how to prepare in advance.

First aid kit, vaccinations and drinking regime

Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations are recommended before the trip, and malaria — only when traveling to remote mountainous areas. Pharmacies in Nha Trang and Da Nang are open late, but the medications familiar to Kazakhstanis may be unavailable, so you should bring your own with a supply. Tap water in Vietnam cannot be drunk; even for brushing teeth, bottled water is used. It is better not to take ice in street cafes, and for drinking, buy water in sealed bottles. In spa centers, water is usually offered free of charge, and this is convenient. Take sunscreen, insect repellent, and a light first-aid kit with you. Such a set covers most everyday situations.

Light meals and detox menu

Vietnamese cuisine is light: rice, seafood, herbs, pho and bun soups combine well with detox programs. Spicy food in the first days may irritate the stomach, so it is better to add spices gradually. Spa centers in Nha Trang and Da Nang often offer their own detox menu of fruits, smoothies, and herbal teas. On Phu Quoc and in Mui Ne, cafes with vegetarian dishes operate at hotels. Meals outside the course should be planned so as not to overeat before procedures. An hour before a massage or detox session, it is better not to eat heavily. Water and light breakfasts help the body tolerate the course more easily.

How to get around between procedures and resorts?

Logistics within Vietnam are simple, but the distances between resorts are noticeable. Let's break down how it is more convenient to travel.

Transfers, Grab, and motorbike rental

Motorbike rental in Vietnam is popular, but for getting around between spa centers it is safer to use Grab or a hotel transfer. The Grab app works in Nha Trang, Da Nang, and Hoi An, and a trip around the city takes 10–20 minutes. A hotel transfer costs more, but the car arrives at the appointed time. Between Nha Trang and Mui Ne, the road takes about four hours; between Da Nang and Hoi An, less than an hour. A flight from Nha Trang to Phu Quoc takes about an hour but requires a separate day. If the wellness course is intensive, it is better to base yourself in one city. That way you will not lose time on moving around.

SIM card, cash, and currency exchange

A SIM card from the local operator Viettel or Mobifone with a tourist tariff for 10–30 days is sold at the airport upon presentation of a passport. Mobile internet in Vietnam is cheap, and Grab works reliably through it. Cash in dong is needed in Mui Ne spa salons, at markets, and in small cafes. Large clinics and hotels in Nha Trang and Da Nang accept cards, but a bank commission is possible. It is more profitable to exchange currency at banks and jewelry stores, not at the airport. Keep a small amount of cash for tips and small expenses. That way, a wellness trip goes without hitches.

In short

  • It is better to plan spa and wellness in Vietnam for the dry season: Nha Trang — February–August, Phu Quoc — November–March.
  • Schedule the first procedures for the third day after the flight from Almaty.
  • There are no direct flights; you will have to fly with one or two connections.
  • Insurance with coverage from 10,000 USD is needed for the visa; risks at sea and in the mountains — separately.
  • In spa salons in Hoi An and Mui Ne, an appointment is needed in advance, especially in December–February.

spa in Hoi An is something else. Bought the tour at a local agency and almost don't regret it. arrived exhausted like a dog, and there straight into the herbal bath — water warm, smells of lemongrass and something else, can't tell what. The massage lasted an hour, seemed good, but then had to wait for a taxi about forty minutes — some fireworks on the embankment, blocked all the roads. But then went to yoga by the pool, the instructor is just a miracle, though she talked fast. My legs were buzzing after her, and my head went all empty-empty... Like everything unnecessary was shaken out of me. Would come back there again, probably. Spa and wellness here are five out of five

Went to get my sick leave closed with my back, or rather not to close it but to get some treatment, and the choice fell on Vietnam because a friend brought back photos from there with mud baths and I decided I needed that too. Booked a package at the agency to Nha Trang, the hotel turned out so-so - the AC hummed like a tractor, but the spa next to the sea is a blast, every evening I went for herbal treatments and after them my back really let go, came back happy even though not everything was perfect.

took a package at the travel agency on the corner, because I myself would have definitely gotten confused with the flights and visas. We went to Mui Ne to get some treatment after the winter, my wife's back, my knee -- and in the end for the first time in half a year I slept peacefully on those their stone loungers by the SPA center, where the hot springs and muds smell like hydrogen sulfide, and the mud teratment really helped me.

Bought a tour in Almaty to Mui Ne for a spa program, and overall was happy — even though the mud bath turned out more modest than in the photos, the massage with herbal bags was great. The manager picked a hotel where they served diet food, but by evening I always craved beach corn.

spa in Hoi An is something else, after the first swim in the salt pool I probably sat there for like two hours, my skin was like a baby's afterwards, though the smell of salt in the room took about three days to air out. The manager suggested taking the local healing mud, and no wonder, my knee stopped aching by the fourth day.. Vietnam surprised me in general, the food is spicy but I got used to it, and the massage with herbal pouches is a whole different song, I went every evening and I only regret not signing up for a longer course.

Took a tour to Da Nang from us for a specific purpose, to fix my back and nerves. And... Anyway opens... No, let me start properly. Took a tour to Da Nang from us for a specific purpose to fix my back and nerves, and they put the whole thing together just right for me. The water there is really like fresh milk, I didn't get out for hours, though usually you can't drag me out of the sea by the ears. One thing bugged me a little, namely the proceures. At first I thought it would be like in typical sanatoriums, on a schedule and with a crowd of people, but in reality it turned out differently and I liked it. My back stopped aching on the third day, and for me that's a sign. It's just that when every morning you go to the beach, then to a massage, and in the evening you also took a walk along the embankment, you fall asleep without any pills. The impression was excellent, I came back a human being and not a squeezed lemon, and these procedures at the hotel may not have been super-duper, but they did their job.

Went because my knee was really hurting, and the doctor said to urgently change climate at least for a couple of weeks, so I took a spa tour to Mui Ne from our agency. These therapeutic muds, herbal baths — yes, it helped, walking got easier, though the smell from the muds is such that the first days I wrinkled my nose. At night sometimes music from the neighboring hotel kept me from sleeping until midnight, a small thing it seems, but I didn't always get enough sleep. Came back rested and my knee almost doesn't bother me, for that kind of money — the best I could have chosen.

at first there was a small mix-up with the transfer, but then everything got sorted out and went to the spa. massage with oils is a whole different story, although the lemongrass smell in the room was too sharp and my head started hurting towards the end, but after half an hour it passed and i even felt somehow energized. sea at Fukouka is warm, mud treatments on my face was nice to do - skin breathes afterwards.

i was choosing where to fly to get some treatment, i wanted spa and wellness, and the travel agency in Almaty pushed Vietnam, Nha Trang on me – i didn't really resist because the mud and mineral springs were exactly what i needed for my back. as soon as i arrived i went straight to the procedures, good thing the mud there is real, it smells so much that the guy on the next lounger was grimacing, but i was fine with it, and my back let go after about four days already (though the massagist sometimes pressed too hard on my neck but i put up with it, because the result matters more). i came back happy as can be, five stars, energetic like never before, even though i caught a slight cold on the last day because of the air conditioner

went to the agency because of my back, or rather my neck – it got locked up after the dacha, and the doctor said either a massage course or the sea, so I chose the second, especially since Da Nang had been in my bookmarks for a long time. took a spa hotel with treatments, and overall it hit the spot: Vietnamese massage with lemongrass oil really straightened out my neck in three sessions, though the smell in the room was like in a pharmacy) the food was good though fish every day got boring by the end of the week, but otherwise I liked everything, came back like new

went to Mui Ne for spa and wellness, the hotel is fine, but the massage at the spa is a whole separate bliss, the oil smelled like lemongrass, although the towels were a bit stiff, the manager sorted everything out in five minutes, and afterwards we also went to the mud baths, which smelled like hydrogen sulfide, but your skin feels like a baby's after, though the mosquitoes ate up all our legs in the evening. anyway, my health improved, blood pressure is normal, my back doesn't hurt, and it's even strange that it was so cheap, although the transfer there and back is a whole quest, but I'd come back again

I went to this travel agency because my back was completely killing me after the dacha, and my wife said that instead of another massage therapist I should just go away to a warm sea. I chose Vietnam, Nha Trang — a friend told me there are real spas with proper specialists, not just tourist massage with oil. For a week and a half I went for treatments, mostly it was hot stones and herbal baths... at first I thought it was nonsense, but by the fifth day my neck stoppedcrunching like an unoiled door. The rooms, though, left much to be desired, the AC rattled like a tractor, but you quickly stop paying attention to that when after lunch you go for a massage and then just lie by the pool and there's nowhere you have to run — I came back a different person.

Took a spa tour to Da Nang from a local agency and was pleased: the wellness treatments there are done properly, especially the herbal pouch massage stuck with me, though a couple of times I had to wait for my turn longer than promised.

took a spa tour to Phu Quoc, and it was the best decision. The manager picked a hotel with hot springs right on the grounds... went there every day like it was my job. The massage was done by Vietnamese women — hands of iron, after the third session my back just fell off, but in a good way. Drank herbal teas that smelled like a banya and seemed to help. Sea nearby, the air humid and heavy — by evening my legs were throbbing, but that's minor.

Тұрмыс құру тойына дайындық үстінде жүріп, аяғымның бұлшық еттері қатты ауырып кетті, сондықтан денсаулықты түзеу үшін біраз демалыс керек болды да, таныс қыздар Нячангтағы спа курортын айтып, сол жерге баруға бел будым. Ұшақтан түскен бойда ыстық ауа, ал бірінші күні курортқа кіргенде бүкіл шаршауым бір сәтте тарқағандай болды. Балшық ваннасы, сауна, массаж – бірақ маймен жасайтын массаж маған тым баяу көрінді, ал аптасына екі рет қана берілетін релаксация сеансын көбірек қаладым. Жалпы алғанда, емдеу шаралары өз нәтижесін берді, дегенмен қонақүйдегі таңғы ас өте қарапайым еді, тіпті кейде қайталанып кететін. Қаланы өз бетімше аралап, жергілікті нарықтан дәмдеуіштер мен кішкентай керамикалық шыны аяқ сатып алдым, ол заттар әлі күнге дейін үйде тұр. Теңіз жағасында кешкісерім серуендеу, жұмсақ толқындардың дыбысы – керемет шипалы сезім, әсіресе күн батқанда жағада отыру өте жағымды болды. Келесі жолы Нячангқа барсам, мүмкін басқа спа орталығын таңдап көрермін, бірақ осы сапардан кейін өзімді әлдеқайда сергек сезінемін.
