Mud baths in Nha Trang at a glance
The classic Nha Trang mud bath is a soak in a private tub of warm mud, followed by a rinse and time in mineral water. Two operators dominate the visitor market: Thap Ba Hot Springs and I-Resort. Both sell several different tickets, so the first thing to learn is what each price actually covers.
A mineral pool ticket and a mud bath are two separate products. Entry to the pools alone is cheaper and does not include mud. This page is an independent guide. Prices come from the operators' own pages, so confirm them when you book.
How a mud bath visit works
The steps are similar at both places. Details differ, so read the ticket description before you buy.
Choose a package
Decide between a mineral pool ticket only, a basic mud bath or a larger package with extras. Price depends on how many people share the tub.
Soak in the mud
Thap Ba and the I-Resort special package list 20 minutes of mud in a tub. At Thap Ba the tub is private. Plan to get messy.
Rinse and use the mineral water
After the mud you move to mineral bathing and other water areas. At Thap Ba the mineral bath lasts 30 minutes, and the I-Resort special package lists a 20-minute herbal mineral bath.

Thap Ba Hot Springs: prices 2026
Prices per adult for a private tub, from the operator's own page. The online price is the amount shown when you buy through the site, the regular price is the amount at the counter. Prices include VAT.
| People in the tub | Regular price per adult | Shown online per adult |
|---|---|---|
| 1β2 guests | VND 350,000 | VND 299,250 |
| 3β5 guests | VND 300,000 | VND 256,500 |
| 6 or more guests | VND 260,000 | VND 222,300 |
The ticket includes 20 minutes of warm mud in a private tub, 30 minutes in a mineral bath and further water areas. Swimwear, a towel and a bottle of water are included. A mineral pool ticket without mud costs VND 120,000 for an adult, or VND 102,600 as shown online. Ask at the counter about child rates, since the pricing page does not list them.
Tickets are sold from 07:30 to 17:00, and service ends at 18:00. A hotel guide mentions an earlier cutoff for ticket sales, so arrive in the early afternoon at the latest. The address is 438 NgΓ΄ ΔαΊΏn. Thap Ba is also the Vietnamese name of the Po Nagar towers, which are a different attraction, see our Po Nagar guide.
I-Resort: mineral pools and mud
I-Resort is a larger resort-style complex with mineral pools, a water park and several mud packages. It is open daily from 08:00 to 17:30, and ticket sales end after 16:30. The operator names no weekly closing day.
The cheapest ticket is the mineral pool and water park entry, VND 200,000 for adults and VND 100,000 for children in 2026. It includes the mineral pools, the water park and a jacuzzi, plus a towel, swimwear and a locker. It does not include mud. The operator does not define on that page what counts as a child.
- Mud packages are sold separately from the pool entry.
- Prices differ if you share a tub with 1β3 guests or with 4β10.
- Ask how the child price is defined, since the size or age limit is not listed on the page.
I-Resort mud packages compared
Prices per person in VND. Tub size changes the price, so a group of four or more pays slightly less each.
| Package | 1β3 guests, adult | 1β3 guests, child | 4β10 guests, adult | 4β10 guests, child |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic mud bath | 400,000 | 200,000 | 350,000 | 200,000 |
| Special hot mud | 650,000 | 400,000 | 600,000 | 400,000 |
| Mud House 01 | 1,500,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,400,000 | 1,000,000 |
The special hot mud package includes 20 minutes of mud, a 20-minute herbal mineral bath, a small snack and the water areas. The basic mud bath prices come from a tour-booking site that lists an update in September 2026, so confirm them with the resort. Mud House 01 prices are per person, not for the whole tub or house.
Which one should you pick?
If you want a simple mud soak in a private tub, Thap Ba lists a lower adult price than I-Resort's basic mud bath. If you want a full day with pools, a water park and a choice of larger packages, I-Resort offers more, at higher prices.
The two operators price in different ways, so compare the total for your group, not only the headline number. At both places a larger group in one tub pays less per person than a couple.
Tips for a first visit
- Go in the afternoon after sightseeing, or on a rainy day. The rainy season runs from September to December, see our Nha Trang weather guide.
- Check hours before you go. Ticket sales end well before closing.
- Ask about child rates and what is included before you pay.
- Hot mud and hot water are not for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or have skin problems, ask a doctor first. No operator should promise health effects.
- Leave jewelry and electronics at your hotel, because the mud is messy.
A mud bath makes a good second stop after a morning at Po Nagar. For the rest of the day, see things to do in Nha Trang or the beach guide. If you are still choosing a base, read where to stay in Nha Trang.
