Spa Treatments
Love indulging in relaxing spa treatments? My friend, you have come to the perfect place.
There are an abundance of spa hotels in Vietnam and the prices of treatments are dirt cheap. So cheap, you can have a spa treatment every day.


Harmony Saigon Hotel & Spa is my favourite go-to destination. You’re greeted by a refreshing freshly squeezed juice after your treatment. I made a daily appointment and it was bliss!
