Thap Ba Hot Springs and Mud Baths

The Thap Ba Hot Springs Center is the first of its kind in Nha Trang as a destination for locals and tourists alike to relax, rejuvenate, and undergo a therapeutic cleanse. Natives believe that soaking in mud baths and mineral waters has healing properties, but it’s also a unique, fun experience with a natural, lush setting.

Given that it’s located just 15 minutes out of the heart of the city, these hot springs can be pretty crowded during peak hours in the morning.

Thap Ba Hot Springs offers a variety of ways to enjoy the mud and minerals. The most common package that people book is a 15-minute session in a public mud pool, half an hour in a mineral pool, and then a hydrotherapy session.

The mineral pools are heated naturally by the springs underneath and are incredibly refreshing to dip in after the mud is rinsed off your body. Individual mudbath rooms can be provided if you’re willing to fork out more cash for a more private experience.

Temperatures of the mud and mineral pools are appropriate for both adults and kids. Travelers with young children can bring their own mud cups for the little ones, as the equipment at the center may be too large for them.
