The Da Nang to Alba Thanh Tan hot springs route

Alba Thanh Tan, a hot mineral spring resort in Phong Dien north-west of central Hue, is about 125 km and 2.5 hours by car from Da Nang one way. The same price applies to a pickup in Hoi An.

Dividing the time between the way there and back

There and back adds up to about 5 hours in the car. An illustration, not a fixed schedule: leave at 8:00 and you arrive at about 10:30; stay 4 hours and you leave at 14:30 and are back in Da Nang at about 17:00. If you want to stay longer, state your wanted return time when you send your request. Detail is in the guide to a visit to the Alba Thanh Tan hot springs. See also private car to Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion Hue.

The tunnel or the pass on the way out

The route goes north through the Hai Van tunnel or over the pass. The tunnel is 6.28 km long and opened in 2005, cutting the time across the range to about 10 to 15 minutes against nearly an hour on the old pass road of about 21 km. Whether you take the tunnel or the pass, and who decides in bad weather, we will confirm for your travel date; see a scenic drive over the Hai Van pass by private car and planning a car trip in the central Vietnam storm season.

Time at the resort and the car waiting

The resort is a hot spring and wellness complex; hours, tickets and services are charged and set by the resort, so ask for the schedule and the facilities you plan to use before you go because how long you stay decides how long the car waits. Cars can enter the gate of the resort to pick up and drop off; the stopping point inside we verify for each booking. The route rate is one way, so waiting time and the return we will quote and confirm separately; any extra charge for waiting longer than planned is stated before it is incurred.

  • Not included: entry, mineral bathing services and meals on site charged by the resort; extra stops, waiting time beyond the free allowance in the Trip terms and the return direction are not included automatically and will be clearly itemized in our quote.
