Massage in Hoi An 2026: 15 Top-Rated Spas Compared (Real Prices & Local Tips)
Short answer: A 60-minute massage in Hoi An costs between 320,000 and 930,000 VND (about $13–$37) in 2026. Budget venues cluster around 320,000–400,000 VND, boutique spas sit at 410,000–700,000 VND, and resort spas start near 800,000 VND. Old Town venues list roughly 15–25% higher than An Bang Beach or Cam Chau.
Looking for a massage in Hoi An? With hundreds of venues spread across the Ancient Town, An Bang Beach and Cam Chau, choosing a massage Hoi An venue is harder than it looks: published prices vary by more than 3x, English fluency varies widely, and the highest Google rating does not always mean the strongest technique. I was born in An Bang Village and have worked in Hoi An’s spa industry for over nine years, so this directory is built from in-person visits and published menus recorded across the town — not from scraped review scores.
Whether you want a budget foot reflexology, an authentic Vietnamese massage in Hoi An, or a private couples session, this guide covers the four most requested massage types and 15 top-rated spas in Hoi An for 2026. By the end you will know which style suits your body and which venue fits your budget and your neighbourhood.
Sandy Hill Spa — An Bang Beach (Our Own Venue)
Sandy Hill Spa, An Bang Beach
Written & published by us
Disclosure: this is our spa. We put it first because we wrote the guide, not because we have ranked ourselves above anyone. The 14 independent venues below are listed by price so you can compare for yourself.
Sandy Hill Spa sits a few steps from An Bang Beach, in the village where owner and manager Anh Tuyet Nguyen grew up. The focus is technique over decor: deep muscle work, Vietnamese acupressure, and oil-based full body sessions, delivered in private rooms at a published rate with nothing added at checkout.
What we offer
- Therapists with 5+ years of practice. Pressure level is agreed before the session starts, not guessed at on the table.
- Free pick-up and drop-off across Hoi An and Da Nang. A round-trip Grab between An Bang and the Ancient Town runs roughly 150,000 VND, so this is a measurable saving rather than a perk.
- Private rooms, including couples rooms bookable in advance.
- The listed price is the final price. No service charge, no VAT added at the counter. Every rate is published on our service menu.
- Local ownership. Run by an An Bang native with 9+ years in the industry, not a franchise operator.
How We Compiled This Guide
- 15 venues surveyed across five Hoi An wards: An Bang Beach, Minh An (Ancient Town), An Hoi Islet, Cam Chau, Cam Pho and Cam Son.
- Prices recorded July 2026 from printed in-venue menus or published websites. Only the standard 60-minute body massage starting rate is compared, so the figures are like-for-like.
- Price spread found: 320,000 to 930,000 VND — a 2.9x gap between the lowest and highest listed rate in the same town for the same treatment length.
- Ratings referenced are public Google Maps ratings at time of writing. We do not average or re-weight them.
- What we do not claim: we make no comparative quality judgement between venues. Descriptions of specialties come from each venue’s own published menu and from public reviews.

Massage Types in Hoi An: Which Style Should You Book?
Hoi An’s spa menus go well beyond a generic Swedish rub. Before picking a venue, pick the style your body actually needs. These are the four types travellers ask us about most in 2026.
Foot Massage in Hoi An (for Walking Fatigue)
After a day in the Ancient Town’s narrow alleys, a 60-minute foot massage in Hoi An is the fastest recovery. Most venues offer foot reflexology at 200,000–400,000 VND, combining acupressure on the soles with calf and lower-leg work. The detail worth checking before you book: does the price include a warm herbal foot soak, and how many of the 60 minutes are actually spent below the knee? Sandy Hill Spa lists a stand-alone Hoi An foot massage service for travellers with sore legs but a happy back.
Body Massage in Hoi An (Full Body Relaxation)
A body massage in Hoi An typically blends Swedish oil technique with Vietnamese acupressure points. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes at 350,000–700,000 VND. A true full body session covers neck, shoulders, back, glutes, legs, arms and hands — ask what is included, because some 60-minute menus quietly skip the arms and abdomen. Sandy Hill publishes its full body massage options with pressure level and oil type selectable before booking, and no added service charge at checkout.
Vietnamese Massage in Hoi An (Traditional Technique)
A Vietnamese massage in Hoi An blends meridian-line acupressure with warm herbal compresses of ginger, lemongrass and mugwort (ngải cứu). Unlike Thai stretching or Swedish gliding strokes, it targets blocked acupoints and lymphatic flow, which makes it a sensible choice for jet lag and post-flight stiffness. Herbal Spa on Phan Chu Trinh and Citrus Health Spa both list traditional compress treatments. Heated stone and warm bamboo variations are widely available too, and are pleasant during the cooler rainy months from October to January.
VIP & Couples Massage in Hoi An (Private Experience)
For couples, honeymoons and special occasions, a VIP massage in Hoi An means a private double room, premium oils, and add-ons such as body scrubs, wraps and post-treatment refreshments. Expect 800,000–1,500,000 VND per person for 90 to 120 minutes, and book at least three days ahead — couples rooms are the first thing to sell out. Sandy Hill’s VIP spa packages in Hoi An include free hotel pick-up, which matters more than it sounds when you are travelling as a pair.

Hoi An Massage Price Guide 2026 (Cost Breakdown)
What does a massage in Hoi An cost in 2026? Here is the breakdown by venue category for a standard 60-minute body massage, based on published menus recorded in July 2026.
| Category | Price range (60 min) | What to expect | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget / street spa | 320,000 – 400,000 VND ($13–$16) | Shared or curtained rooms, standard oils, variable English | Backpackers, quick refresh after the beach |
| Boutique / mid-range | 410,000 – 700,000 VND ($16–$28) | Trained therapists, private rooms, some include transport | Most visitors — the widest choice sits here |
| Resort / VIP | 800,000 – 1,500,000 VND ($32–$60) | Hotel spas, imported oils, full amenities, fluent English | Honeymoons, special occasions, couples |
Five things that change what you actually pay:
- 90 minutes beats 60 on value. A 90-minute session typically costs about 30% more than a 60-minute one but gives you 50% more table time — roughly 13% cheaper per minute.
- Neighbourhood premium. Old Town venues list around 15–25% above An Bang Beach and Cam Chau addresses, driven by rent rather than treatment length.
- Service charge and VAT. Some venues add 10–15% service charge plus 8% VAT on top of the menu price. Ask “is this the final price?” before you sit down. Sandy Hill lists all-in rates on its service menu.
- Transport is a real cost. A round-trip Grab between An Bang Beach and the Ancient Town runs roughly 150,000 VND. Venues offering free pick-up effectively discount your session by that amount.
- Season matters. Low season (May to August, excluding July weekends) commonly brings 15–25% off at mid-range venues. Check current massage offers in Hoi An before booking.
How to Choose a Massage Spa in Hoi An
There is no single right venue — the right one depends on where you are staying, how much pressure you like, and how much time you have. Work through these four questions:
1. Where are you staying?
Staying in the Ancient Town, pick a Minh An or An Hoi venue you can walk to. Staying near the beach, pick An Bang. Staying further out in Cam Chau or Cam Pho, check whether the venue offers transport before you add a Grab fare to the bill.
2. How much pressure do you want?
Firm pressure for knots points to deep tissue venues. Light pressure points to gentle bodywork venues. Say your preference at booking, not on the table — house styles vary and therapists are assigned accordingly.
3. What is the treatment meant to fix?
Sore feet from walking → foot reflexology. Stiff back from travel → deep tissue or Thai. Jet lag and general fatigue → Vietnamese acupressure with herbal compress. Sunburn → aloe wrap or light aroma oil, never hot stones.
4. Is the venue licensed?
Check four signals: a visible business licence, linens changed between clients, therapists in uniform, and a Google Maps rating above 4.5 from 100+ reviews. Licensed venues display a printed price list. Skip any venue that will not show you one.
