Hot stone massage is a 60–120 minute premium therapy that uses smooth, heated basalt stones to penetrate deep muscle tension and deliver total relaxation — delivered to your hotel or home in Ho Chi Minh City from 500,000 VND, stones, table, and linens included. The heat from the stones reaches deeper than hands alone, allowing for more effective muscle release with less pressure.

“The hot stone massage was a completely different experience from anything I'd had before. The warmth worked into muscle layers I didn't know were tense. Setup in my hotel room took five minutes and the therapist spent the full 90 minutes on the session. Slept perfectly.”

Giac Lam Pagoda, established in 1744, is the oldest surviving pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City. Set in the Tan Binh district away from tourist crowds, it offers a genuine glimpse into Vietnamese Buddhist traditions—a serene contrast to the bustling city.
