Hanoi isn’t to be left out on pampering with its extensive roster of spas
After a tiring flight and lingering jet lag, all you want is a relaxing Hanoi massage. They have traditional treatments and a hint of Western influence. If you’d been to a lot of touring and walking, you should refresh yourself in one of these wellness centers.
1. Hanoi La Belle Spa
La Belle offers their unique massage that starts from foot ritual followed by a massage using La Belle oil plus Thai herbs. They will seal this relaxing treat with a head massage and I promise you can’t resist to fall asleep. All these for US$39 to US$48 depending on the length you’ll choose.
They also have the Luxury Four Hands Massage, Bamboo Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Asian Blend, and Traditional choices. If you’re not up for a full body massage, you can either have a face treatment, foot therapy, or body scrub. Anyway, I suggest that you ask about their spa packages. It may cost more than a hundred bucks but it’s worth the try.
2. Midori Spa
Like the first spa, Midori also has body massage and different treatments. The catch here is the steam bath, perfect if you’re visiting during the winter in Hanoi. A 20-minute steam bath costs only US$3.5 and if you have more budget, you can follow it with a body scrub using rice bran for just US$13.5 for a 30-minute session.
If you want a total relaxation, you can avail one of their spa packages like the Therapy set consisting of a steam bath, body scrub using sea salt, basic facial treatment, and an hour of Thai massage in oil. You can do all these in about two hours and 45 minutes for US$42.
3. Hanoi La Siesta Spa
As a service of La Siesta Hotel Hanoi, you can experience luxury through their relaxation treatment consisting of aromatic oils that can ease pain and stress. An hour of this massage costs US$33 and if you want another 30 minutes, you have to pay an additional of US$12.3.
Aside from that, La Siesta has a very wide selection of treatments from facial and foot care to body scrub. If you like, you can indulge in a US$50 Pamper Package that includes a hot stone body massage and a refresh facial for one and half hours. They have more combinations of Hanoi massage but you have to ready your budget because it’s a bit pricey.
4. Mido Spa
This place offers their Mido Spa Special that includes a Jacuzzi or steam bath, exfoliation using dead sea salt, body stone, Indian massage for body, shoulder, and head, and basic facial treatment. All these services for US$70 and in a very relaxing three and a half hours.
Aside from the massages and scrubs, they also do waxing and nails. A bikini full of waxing costs US$20 while a total spa pedicure and manicure costs US$26.4. Their cheapest offer is a US$5.5 steam bath for two. If you really want to relax, you have to invest more.
5. Hanoi Ciel Spa
Ciel Spa is known for its Bamboo Massage that costs US$30.4 in every 60-minute session paired with a tissue massage that is traditional and deep flowing. If you want to ease your sore muscles, the best choice could be their Asian Blend Massage that includes Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese massage techniques. This costs another US$30.
For a replenishing spa session, I suggest that you try the “Lady Indulgence Package” for US$84. With this, you can relax for three and half hours in coconut body wrap, milk moisturizing scrub, luxurious facial treatment, and purity massage. For sensitive skin, the Vietnamese Coconut Wrap is the best for US$28.6.

Situated at the Sofitel Metropole Legend, Le Spa is your fix of luxury. Aside from their soothing massages and body scrubs, they have a relaxing choice of music. The place is all set with cozy lighting, seven spa suites, a Finnish Sauna, and more. They have an extensive spa menu range that choosing alone can leave you torn between their Two Of Us treatment or Imperial Experience treatment.Expect French exquisiteness on their Hanoi massage, however, prices can be really high because this is an upscale spa. But given their service and offers, it’s all worth it.

This wellness is located at 34-35th floors of the towering Lotte Center. So after shopping, you can ease your tired soul on their “Celestial Experience” or “Mineral Experience” that can cost around US$53 to US$80.
