Hon Tam Island is only about 7km southeast of Nha Trang city, so it is very easy for tourists to travel to the island. From Hon Tam pier, it takes about 10 minutes by canoe, and only 5 minutes by cruise. Blessed by nature with pristine and pure beauty and a location in the middle of the clear blue sea with sunshine and wind all year round, Hon Tam Island has become an ideal destination for those who love eco-tourism and relaxation.
In the summer of 2019, to meet the needs of tourists, Hon Tam Island tourist area launched MerPerle Hon Tam Mudbath Mud Bath. Mud bath is not a new activity in Nha Trang in particular and Vietnam in general. However, MerPerle mud bath is something special and an unforgettable experience for any tourist.
Setting foot on Hon Tam Island, I was really impressed with the tourist area with a total area of 16,000m2, bordering the sea, one side leaning against the mountain, the other side overlooking the beautiful Nha Trang Bay. MerPerle Hon Tam Mudbath mud bath area is located in the East of Hon Tam Island. In the afternoon sunlight, the cool blue sky, the scene became even more romantic when I admired the MerPerle mud bath area uniquely designed in the model of terraced fields, friendly with nature. As someone born and raised in the North, when witnessing the unique images of Nha Trang's MerPerle mud bath area, I suddenly remembered the memories of wandering around the Northwest region during my internships as an ambitious student.
MerPerle Mud Bath is truly a unique and attractive entertainment spot for tourists due to the variety of tours and service packages. Tourists only need to spend 350,000 VND/person to be able to soak in the hot mud bath at Hon Tam Mudbath. After a long journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang, my fatigue completely disappeared when I was soaked in the hot mud bath.
I went alone so I chose the herbal tub to experience, but you can choose the couple tub, family tub... as long as it suits you. In addition to soaking in the hot mud tub, visitors can immerse themselves in the 2,000m2 infinity pool and Jacuzzi or experience a massage using the hydrotherapy hot spring system to get the most complete feeling of enjoyment.
For food lovers, visitors can choose the Hon Tam Sea Day Tour package combined with Mud Bath for 899,000 VND/person. With this service package, in addition to visiting the sea, swimming in the infinity pool at MerPerle Sparkling Waves sea sports area, visitors can also enjoy a lunch buffet at Ocean View restaurant with 40 rich dishes, a full mud bath experience and a buffet of traditional dishes at Hon Viet restaurant.
If you are a seafood lover, you can choose the Luxury Daily Tour package combined with mud bath, priced at 1,199,000 VND/person. With this service package, you will have moments of relaxing in the sea and enjoying diverse seafood cuisine at Sea Breeze restaurant, enjoying traditional musical instrument performances, experiencing a full mud bath and a buffet of traditional snacks at Hon Viet restaurant.
But what impressed me most at MerPerle Mud Bath was the night services. Enjoying a high-class hot mud bath, swimming in the sea, and experiencing the swimming pool after sunset brought an unforgettable feeling. After those energy-consuming activities, there was nothing better than enjoying a seafood buffet at the beautiful Hon Tam beach with a performance by a very vibrant Filipino band. The Filipino singers and dancers performed masterpieces in impeccable English with powerful voices. Their stage stirring and "crazy" skills were top-notch.
And to enjoy all these special experiences along with services such as: two-way transfer by speedboat, enjoying a light traditional buffet at Hon Viet restaurant, visitors have to spend 1,299,000 VND. That is not a small amount of money but it is "worth the money" if visitors choose the premium mud bath package at night on Hon Tam island, appearing for the first time in Nha Trang.
Indeed, Hon Tam Island tourist area in general and MerPerle mud bath area in particular, brought me very interesting experiences during my short trip to the coastal city of Nha Trang.
