Instead of going to the distant Nha Trang City to enjoy mud-bathing, tourists who travel the tourist routes through the coastal provinces in the South Central region.

Opened last year on an area of 4.5 hectares, the center offers warm mineral water soaking, warm mineral water bathing under a man-made water fall, hot mineral mud-bathing and many other services.

The center’s owner, Viet Tin Joint-Stock Company, is using a hot mineral water spring, around 800 meters from the center, and a mud mine in Tuy Phong District of the province.

After changing into clothes provided by the center, tourists can enjoy the service in tubs in green banana gardens. There are about 17 tubs for mud-bathing, each of them big enough for three or four people. Private tubs are available on request.

The mud here is not as thick as the mud in Nha Trang, but the Mui Ne Hot Mineral Mud Center has the advantage of green and well-aired spaces. All the mud tubs are placed apart by bananas. It’s enough privacy for visitors to enjoy bathing.

After trying the mud-bathing service, tourists will come to the warm mineral soaking service area and then to the hydropathy area before going to the man-made warm mineral water fall to enjoy a water massage.

One special service is a swimming pool with around 1,000 cubic meters of warm mineral water and smaller massage pools. There is a nice bar at the center of the swimming pool.

There are no accommodations here but the owner said that around 80 four-star and 100 five-star standard rooms as well as a spa and luxury services would open soon.

Hot mineral mud-bathing is VND95,000 per person for a tub of four people, VND200,000 per person for a tub of only one and VND550,000 per person for a special tub for two.
