The Minera Hot Springs Binh Chau is a high-class resort that should be first on the top of your when it comes to soaking and relaxing while in Vietnam. Located in the province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau and only a few miles from Saigon, Binh Chau is the largest hot spring in all of Vietnam.

The Minera Hot Springs Binh Chau is an enormous complex with a variety of amenities including mud baths, spa treatments, massages, and a variety of swimming pools. While the daytime brings larger groups of tourists from all around, visitors who arrive in the early morning and late evening will find a quieter atmosphere.

The resort is nestled on a vast amount of land which includes tropical forests and natural hot springs. While most of the resort is very commercialized, there are paved paths that cut through its forest.

Hot Springs Resort

The Minera Hot Springs is comprised of a collection of 70 gushing spouts ranging from 40° – 82° C. Collectively, the gushers create a larger pool of water as well as mud for visitors to use for medicinal purposes. The spring’s therapeutic minerals are sulfur, sodium, silica, and chlorine, which all work to improve circulation and rheumatism.

These springs were also named as 1 of 65 sustainable developments for ecotourism in the world by the World Travel Organization in 2003. Surrounded by pathways through the forest and a beautiful canopy of leaves, the fresh air is moist with steam from the springs, proving visitors with an earthy fragrance.

Interestingly enough, there is a local myth about how this hot spring was formed. According to legend, the Vietnamese “Goddess of Boiling Water” became furious that her husband was away hunting for too long. In her anger, she threw away a pot of boiling water which landed where the hot springs are still flowing today.

Each spring bath has its own charm and personality. For instance, Springs Casa has intersecting circuits of water exploding from the ground inspired by geysers while the Onsen House was constructed for the traditional Japanese hot springs soaking method.

If you visit the Around the World Spa, you will find different pools and soaking areas inspired by seven different cultures: Turkish, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Vietnamese, and Oriental. Each bath was designed to transport visitors to the country it represents.

For VIP visitors, you can visit the Springs Retreat where you can soak in a traditional Japanese onsen, a pool of brewed wine, or a bath mixed with floral aromas.

Activities

There are plenties of activities to partake in while visiting the hot spring including spending time at the pool, taking a soak in a mud bath, or grabbing a meal on-site. Zest Dining Restaurant boasts a unique melody of Asian cuisines while 82 Degrees Food Corner is great for a lunch break.

Furthermore, if you don’t want to get out of the pool, float over the swimming pool bar. It’s also highly recommended that you try boiling eggs in the 80°C hot spring water, a popular snack at Minera.
