Thanh Mai Beauty & Spa: The Best Spa in Hoi An for a Massage After the Old Town
Looking for the best spa in Hoi An? Thanh Mai Beauty & Spa sits at 84 Phan Chau Trinh, a few minutes’ walk from the Ancient Town, with massages from about 200,000₫ an hour and doors open until 10 PM every day.
After a day of walking the lantern streets, cycling to An Bang or riding out to My Son, most travellers want the same thing: a proper massage, close to the hotel, at a price that does not feel like a resort bill. That is what Thanh Mai Beauty & Spa was built for. It is a spa and hair salon on Phan Chau Trinh, the street one block north of Tran Phu, under the same roof as Anh Khoa motorbike rental — so you can drop off a scooter and walk straight in.
What makes Thanh Mai a best-spa pick in Hoi An
Hoi An has no shortage of spas, so here is what we do differently. Every massage starts with a warm herbal foot bath — it loosens the calves after a day on cobblestones and lets you settle before the therapist begins. Body treatments are done in a separate, quiet, air-conditioned room, away from the foot-massage chairs at the front. And when you are finished there is a cup of warm tea or cold water before you step back into the street. Small things, but they are the reason guests come back on the last night of their stay.
The team also happens to run the motorbike rental next door, so if you want to know which beach is quiet this week or where to eat cao lầu without a queue, ask while your feet are soaking.
Massage menu
Tell the therapist how much pressure you like — every treatment below can be gentle or deep on request.
| Treatment | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnamese body massage | Gentle full-body massage with acupressure; light force, long strokes | First-timers, winding down before dinner |
| Herbal massage | Heated herbal compress pressed along the body — warmth, scent and pressure together | Sore backs after a motorbike day |
| Hot stone massage | Warm basalt stones and warm oil; heat loosens the muscles so the work can go deeper | Tight shoulders, jet lag |
| Thai massage | Stretching, pulling and rocking using hands, knees, shins and feet; no oil | Stiff hips and legs after cycling |
| Head, neck & shoulder massage | Focused work on the scalp, face, neck, upper arms and shoulders | Screen fatigue, headaches |
| Foot massage | Herbal foot bath followed by reflexology in a reclining chair | The evening after the Old Town walking streets |
Facials, body scrub and spa packages
Beyond massage, Thanh Mai offers a short skin-care menu. The facial massage is a soothing treatment that improves tone and elasticity; the body scrub exfoliates dead skin, sun cream and road dust so your skin breathes again — useful after a few days of beach and scooter. If you have a free afternoon, the two packages below bundle the most popular treatments at a better rate than booking them one by one.
| Package | Includes |
|---|---|
| Package 1 | Body scrub + full-body massage + facial care |
| Package 2 | Full-body massage (hot stone or herbal) + facial care + manicure and pedicure + heel care |
Hair, nails and beauty salon
The same address is home to Thanh Mai hair salon, which has been cutting and styling in Hoi An for more than 30 years. A women’s cut is 100,000–150,000₫ and a wash and blow-dry is 80,000₫, which makes it a handy stop before a lantern-lit dinner photo or after a long flight. Colouring, perms, straightening, lash extensions, nails and make-up are all done on site — ask for a quote for anything beyond a cut.
Prices and happy hours
Massages at Thanh Mai average about 200,000₫ per hour (roughly $8), which is a fraction of resort-spa rates in Hoi An without the tourist-street upsell. Exact prices depend on the treatment and duration, so the table below is a guide; the menu at reception has the full list and there is no pressure to add extras.
| Service | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Massage (Vietnamese, herbal, hot stone, Thai, foot) | from ~200,000₫ per hour |
| Women’s haircut | 100,000–150,000₫ |
| Wash & blow-dry | 80,000₫ |
| Spa packages 1 and 2 | Quoted at reception — bundled cheaper than booking separately |

When to go and how to find us
Most guests come in the evening, after the Old Town, and the spa stays open until 22:00 every day, so a 9 PM booking is fine. If you would rather skip the midday heat or a sudden rain shower, an afternoon slot is quieter and easier to get. Booking ahead is not compulsory, but a quick message on WhatsApp secures a therapist at the time you want, especially on weekend evenings.
The address is 84 Phan Chau Trinh (open in Google Maps), on the street that runs parallel to Tran Phu one block north of the Ancient Town. It is outside the pedestrian-only zone, so a Grab bike or taxi can drop you at the door, and it is a short walk from any hotel around the Old Town. Look for the Anh Khoa motorbike rental sign — the spa and salon share the building.
