Vietnam Golf and Wellness Retreats: Luxury Resorts, World-Class Golf and Relaxing Wellness Experiences

In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as one of the most attractive golf destinations in Asia. In addition to the increasingly improved quality of courses, international tourists are also attracted by the resort trend of combining golf with health care services such as spas, mineral mud baths, hot springs and Japanese-style Onsen. This combination creates a complete vacation, both experiential and deeply restorative after days of activity. 

This article will help you discover typical destinations where you can fully enjoy Vietnam Golf and Wellness Retreats.

About Vietnam Golf and Wellness Retreats

The idea of combining golf with wellness activities has become increasingly popular among international travelers looking for a balanced and restorative holiday. Vietnam is one of the few destinations in Asia where visitors can enjoy world class golf while also accessing a wide range of wellness experiences such as natural hot springs, Japanese style Onsen, mineral mud baths and high quality spas. The country’s diverse geography creates ideal settings for wellness activities, from coastal resorts to mountainous regions and quiet rural valleys.

Wellness retreats in Vietnam often focus on relaxation, muscle recovery and stress relief. This aligns perfectly with the needs of golfers who want to maintain peak physical condition during multi day golf trips. After hours of walking, swinging and navigating challenging courses, wellness experiences help restore energy levels, relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. For many travelers, this combination creates a slower, more mindful travel experience that goes beyond the usual sports holiday. It is a way to enjoy Vietnam not only through its landscapes and golf courses but also through its healing natural resources and traditional wellness practices.

Below are the destinations in Vietnam where golfers can fully enjoy the benefits of a golf and wellness retreat.

Golf and Spa in Vietnam

Spas have always played an important role in the recovery of golfers. After an 18-hole round, the body is under a lot of pressure on the shoulders, lower back and legs. A suitable spa treatment can help soften muscles, increase circulation and reduce the feeling of stiffness. Many tourists choose Vietnam because it has a system of high-quality resorts, professional spa services and reasonable costs compared to many countries in the region. Below are some outstanding destinations for tourists who want to combine golf and spa experiences

Ninh Binh – Trang An Golf and Emeralda Resort

Trang An Golf near Trang An Scenic landscape complex is an ideal destination for tourists who love the tranquility of limestone mountains and vast green spaces. The course is moderately difficult but requires players to calculate carefully on the second shot. This requires golfers to concentrate and sometimes easily leads to stiff shoulders and neck.

Emeralda Resort is located near the golf course and owns one of the famous natural spas in the Northern region. Visitors can find Asian massage treatments, local herbal treatments and massages to help restore muscles after playing golf.

Trang An Golf Country Club

Montgomerie Links is one of the most highly rated golf courses in the Central region with a links-style design. The course has wide fairways, deep bunkers and sea breezes that change direction frequently. These factors require golfers to move a lot, making the need for recovery after the match even more important.

Instead of seeking traditional massage treatments, many tourists choose mineral mud baths at centers in the Da Nang and Hoi An areas. Mineral mud baths have the ability to reduce joint pain, soothe the body and support blood circulation. Natural minerals in the mud also help detoxify and soften the skin. This is a choice worth trying if you want to find a natural recovery method.

Some benefits received after playing golf and mineral mud baths in Da Nang

  • Reduce muscle tension after continuous hitting the ball
  • Improve blood circulation and joint flexibility
  • A feeling of relaxation that lasts for many hours after bathing
  • Montgomerie Links Vietnam

Sea Links Golf & Country Club is one of the most beautiful coastal golf courses in the Central region, located on a high hill with a view of Mui Ne beach. The course has a natural undulating terrain, wide fairways but the difficulty comes from strong winds and steep greens. Players often have to carefully calculate each putt, which can easily put stress on the wrists and shoulders.

After completing a round of golf, visitors can go to Anantara Spa Mui Ne, one of the most luxurious spas in the area. The spa is famous for its Asian-style relaxation treatments, Vietnamese herbal therapy, deep recovery massage for sports players and hot oil therapy to help relieve muscle pain after exercise.

The quiet spa space, located in the middle of a tropical garden, creates a feeling of absolute relaxation for those who want to combine relaxation and recovery after challenging golf matches.

Golf and Onsen in Vietnam

While spas are familiar to many golfers, the golf and Onsen experience in Vietnam brings a new and exciting feeling. Onsen is a form of soaking in hot mineral-rich water originating from Japan. Currently, many resorts in Vietnam have built Onsen systems based on Japanese standards to bring a more in-depth recovery experience.

Onsen helps relieve muscle pain very quickly thanks to the warm temperature and mineral content in the water. After a day of playing golf, soaking in an Onsen can help you regain balance, relax completely and sleep deeper at night. This is also the reason why many international tourists have started to come to Vietnam for wellness retreats.

Below are the top destinations for golfers who want to incorporate golf and Onsen into their journey.

  • The best time to take an Onsen is after about an hour of rest after a round of golf.
  • Stay hydrated throughout the day and before entering the Onsen.
  • Avoid soaking in hot mineral springs for too long as this can dehydrate the body, the ideal time is about 10 to 15 minutes per pool.
  • With spas, deep tissue treatments can be a bit painful for the first few minutes but have lasting effects.
  • You should book spa or Onsen services in advance on weekends as they are often crowded
