Golden Lotus Oriental Organic Spa @ Da Nang City in Vietnam

In my few trips (numbering five) to Vietnam, my consensus when it comes to massages would be "Thailand is still better". However, the aforementioned statement changed after my last trip to Danang! 

While I was aware of Golden Lotus Oriental Organic Spa on my first trip, given its insane reviews; I didn't manage to step in. Staying near its original branch in my recent trip (May 2025), and with my mom, who is more of a massage enthusiast, we went, TWICE.

Removing shoes and placing them tidily in compartmentalized shoe boxes for assurance, although there was a notice, in English and Korean, that the spa will not be responsible for any loss! 

Brought to a nice waiting area, with pods for individual groups, where we would be pampered with some drinks and snacks, and hand towels! 

Take a look at the menu (pasted at the end of the page) and indicate your "wishes" in the order list which came in numerous languages, including English and Chinese. 

Honestly, Thailand massages should also consider having the "order list" as it allows non-native speakers to indicate the strength of the massage required, parts of the body to focus the massage on (mine is always shoulder and back) etc. 

A key would also be passed after completion.

More on the key later.

Choosing your oil for those signing up for aromatherapy massages.

For me, it would always be lavender for relaxation. 

You see it right; a changing room! 

A communal one, separated by sex.

Choose your size and changed into a clean attire more suited for massages, without having to be totally naked! For me, that's easy; being short has its advantages as "small" would likely be the size.

Key given would be for your designated locker in the changing room! As a typical Singaporean, there's always innate fear that things might still get stolen! But this spa has a review score of 4.9 from over 12,000 reviewers! So it should be safe. Anyway, I don't have much valuables...

Feet washing time! 

Brought up to the higher level for my body massage.

Sharing also the floor directory for the five-floor spa. 

Massage room for me; the best massage I had so far in Vietnam; good strength with concentration on acupoints that eased my sore parts, and came with hot compress too! Don't take my words for it as my mom would be a better barometer.

Back to the changing room (also known as the locker room). You can actually choose to shower if you wish, with provisions of towels and and hair dryer! 

Massages in Vietnam involved a lot of eating, and not just tea drinking in other countries like Thailand and Malaysia! And it's not cheap stuff also; we have sliced mangoes and candied lotus seeds at Golden Lotus! 

Mom was so in love with the massages here at Golden Lotus that we returned twice! She had tried Vietnamese massages in Hoi An, which weren't to her satisfaction. Hence, I am glad to know she was happy, given her lifelong obsession with massages.

Pod we were seated and time to leave! 

Upon payment, we were given a pack of candied coconut ribbons for free! Here for relaxation yet I feel like I would gain a kilo or two after my massage.
