Da Nang, Vietnam

TIA Wellness Resort sits on a beachfront stretch of Vietnam's central coast near Da Nang, born from the award-winning Fusion Maia Da Nang and relaunched under its current name in 2021. Since 2010 the property has positioned itself as a pioneer of the "Wellness Inclusive" and "Retreat Inclusive" concept, meaning wellness isn't sold as an add-on spa menu but built directly into every stay. Its 87 private pool villas radiate out from a 22-room wellness center, and all 60 wellbeing therapists on staff are trained in Reiki alongside a broad range of other therapies, giving the resort deeper practitioner bench strength than a typical hotel spa. The core "Wellness Inclusive" package guarantees two 80-minute spa treatments per villa guest each night from an extensive treatment menu, paired with a daily rotating schedule of complimentary practices — Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, breathwork masterclasses, Tai Chi, HIIT and creative workshops centered on self-inquiry. Guests wanting a more clinically structured journey can step up to a Private Retreat, a fully guided four- or seven-night program built around a specific intention such as stress reset, detox or long-term balance, with daily one-to-one coaching from a master coach, 140 minutes of prescribed treatments per night, a full-board plant-based meal plan tailored to the retreat's goal, and private consultations with a dedicated TIA wellness master throughout the stay. The resort continues to expand its holistic offering with newer, more sensory rituals: four themed Bath Ritual experiences — Deep Slumber, Detox Harmony, Radiant Glow and Romance Bliss — combine aromatherapy, traditional Vietnamese botanical knowledge, chromotherapy and specialized nutrition into a single multi-sensory session, while a newer set of group experiences uses fire, sound and writing rituals to foster reflection and social connection among guests. Nutrition runs through the entire concept as a functional pillar rather than an afterthought, with an à la carte wellness kitchen built on whole, natural ingredients and, for Retreat Inclusive guests, structured plant-forward meal plans aligned to goals like high-protein support, raw detox or intermittent fasting.

Nha Trang, Vietnam

Six Senses Ninh Van Bay sits on a secluded stretch of Vietnam's northeast coast near Nha Trang, its stilted villas built from wood, bamboo and thatched roofing in a style meant to echo traditional Vietnamese architecture. The spa itself is designed along the lines of a traditional Vietnamese house and includes a reception lounge, consultation room, seven treatment rooms, a hammam and a sauna, offering guests both traditional Vietnamese therapies and more contemporary, technology-driven options. Signature local treatments use oils wild-harvested and hand-processed by the Hmong and Dao hill-tribe communities of Sa Pa, blending regional heritage into the spa's broader menu of facials, Ayurvedic treatments and body work. The wellness program is built around three specialised tracks focused on sleep quality, detoxification and the practice of yoga, alongside customisable single- and multi-day purification programs that can address concerns such as sleep disorders and other imbalances. The therapist team is notably credentialed for a resort of this size — all are trained to Reiki Levels 1 and 2, with three Reiki Masters on staff, and all are also certified to teach Tai Chi. Visiting consultants rotate through year-round offering yoga, fitness coaching, orthopaedic physiotherapy, Ayurveda, and water and sound therapy, while the spa menu itself extends into oxygen infusion and inhalation therapies and newer biohacking tools like compression boots and percussive massage guns for guests who want a more performance-oriented recovery session. Wellness at the property extends well beyond the treatment rooms into the surrounding landscape. Mornings typically open with Tai Chi or yoga, and guests can join a Vietnamese cooking class in the resort's organic garden, hike to the top of nearby Heo Mountain or to a private beach for snorkelling, charter a boat for island-hopping or scuba diving, or take a boat trip up the Cai River to soak in mineral-rich natural hot springs.

Nha Thrang, Vietnam

Villa Le Corail Gran Meliá, Vietnam's first Gran Meliá property, sits on a private beach at the foot of Fairy Mountain in Nha Trang, with views out to Turtle Island. Wellness here centers on Song Spa, whose entire treatment philosophy is built around the life cycle of a coral reef, drawing on both ocean wisdom and Vietnamese heritage to guide guests through four distinct phases: Grounding, using relaxing and energising touch therapies; Awakening, featuring Thalassa skincare treatments for face and body built on sea-based ingredients; Blooming, centered on locally inspired rituals promoting renewal through marine-powered Thalassotherapy; and Legacy, a broader holistic phase weaving together spa relaxation, movement, mindfulness and wellness cuisine into daily life. This coral-reef framework extends into a modular, multi-day wellness program available in one-, two- or three-day formats, blending spa treatments, rituals designed for restorative sleep, cleansing cuisine and curated lifestyle guidance meant to be practical enough to carry home. The spa's Director of Spa & Wellness has emphasized that programs are deliberately designed for small, sustainable changes guests can maintain after their stay ends rather than a one-time reset. Facilities include steam rooms, sauna, an onsen, and treatment suites offering body scrubs, hot stone massage and body treatments, alongside a fitness center with daily yoga classes. Notably, Song Spa ties its wellness offering directly to marine conservation: through a partnership with the marine biology organization Avatar, every treatment booked at the spa contributes to planting a new section of coral reef in Nha Trang Bay, turning each guest's individual wellness journey into a tangible contribution to restoring the surrounding ecosystem. Beyond the spa, the resort's beachfront setting supports a broader, nature-connected sense of wellbeing — an adults-only pool and infinity pool overlooking the bay, sunset strolls along the private beach, and easy access to snorkeling and diving among nearby coral reefs — rounding out a wellness identity that links treatment-room ritual to the surrounding ocean environment it draws its philosophy from.

Lao Cai, Vietnam

Garrya Mù Cang Chải, a Banyan Group property in Yen Bai Province in Vietnam's northern highlands, is set amid 400-year-old terraced rice fields cultivated by the local Hmong community and is recognized as the world's largest bamboo structure. Awarded World's Best New Wellness Resort in 2025, its wellness philosophy is built around a broader ethos of "simplified, mindful living," and centers on 8lements Spa, which follows Banyan Group's eight pillars of wellbeing across six double treatment rooms set within the surrounding natural landscape. Treatments draw heavily on local Hmong tradition and indigenous mountain herbs, and the spa includes a premium hydrotherapy system — infrared sauna, contrast plunge pools, rain mist walks and herbal steam — designed to restore balance and harmonize mind and body. For 2026, the resort is expanding beyond self-directed spa visits into a more structured, results-focused wellbeing concept rooted in sports science, integrative nutrition and sleep optimisation. The new approach begins with a pre-arrival digital wellbeing assessment evaluating lifestyle patterns, stress levels and physiological condition, after which each guest is paired with a dedicated Wellbeing Trainer who builds a personalized itinerary — whether that leans toward restorative hydrotherapy, guided mountain trekking, or performance training supported by targeted nutrition plans and access to elite performance specialists. Enhancements supporting this shift include an upgraded 13-step hydrotherapy circuit, new Wellbeing Suites and Wellbeing Pool Suites with in-room training stations and recovery tools, integrated sleep-support technology, and curated nightly Sleep Rituals. New regionally inspired spa treatments include a Herbal Hair Wash using natural infusions and a Northwest Retreat Package featuring pumpkin, Shan Tuyết tea and local sticky rice. Beyond the spa, wellness at Garrya extends into complimentary daily offerings: a panoramic gym overlooking the rice terraces, guided movement sessions, singing-bowl experiences, and barefoot grounding practices set across open decks and tranquil pathways throughout the resort. Culinary programming reinforces the same wellbeing focus — the all-day Refresh restaurant serves nutritious cuisine built on organic local ingredients and traditional Hmong farming methods, while a poolside bar offers lighter, health-conscious fare. Guests can also step outside the resort itself for guided treks, craft workshops, and storytelling sessions with local Hmong artisans and elders, tying the property's wellness identity directly to the surrounding culture and landscape rather than confining it to the spa building.

Phu Tho, Vietnam

Avana Retreat sits across 15 hectares of forested hillside in Mai Châu, roughly 3.5 to 4 hours southwest of Hanoi, surrounded by terraced rice fields and a cascading waterfall that serves as the emotional and geographic heart of the property. The founders planted nearly 12,000 trees to transform what was once a bare hill into the lush jungle setting guests experience today, reflecting a deep environmental commitment that runs through the retreat's broader wellness philosophy. At the center of that offering is the Orchid Spa, reached by crossing a wooden bridge over a koi pond as the sound of the nearby waterfall builds anticipation for the sanctuary ahead — a deliberately unhurried arrival built into the spa experience itself. Signature treatments draw on traditional Vietnamese remedies alongside more contemporary therapeutic techniques, including a Mountain Stone Treatment using heated stones to release muscle tension, and a contrast-temperature hydrotherapy circuit designed to physically reset the body through alternating hot and cold exposure. Private treatment rooms are set among winding bridges, koi ponds and ancient tree canopies, reinforcing the retreat's emphasis on natural immersion over clinical structure. Complimentary daily yoga is held at the H'Mong Cottage, an uphill pergola with panoramic mountain views, following a fixed weekly rhythm — Hatha Yoga on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and Yin Yoga on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, each running from 7 to 8am. Beyond the spa, wellness at Avana extends into cultural and nature-based experiences: jungle treks to a secret waterfall, electric buggy rides through nearby Thai and H'Mong hamlets, and hands-on sessions with local artisans, including rattan weaving taught by the retreat's oldest craftsperson. The resort also offers structured multi-day wellness packages combining these elements — spa treatments, yoga, trekking and cultural immersion — into a single itinerary for guests wanting a fuller reset. Dining reinforces the same locally rooted philosophy, with seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farmers and served in fine-dining style, including the option of a private meal beside the waterfall beneath the forest canopy.
