Ho Coc Hot Springs is a natural thermal spring in Xuyên Mộc district of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province in Vietnam, located within the biodiverse Bình Châu-Phước Bửu Nature Reserve — one of the last remaining lowland tropical forests in southern Vietnam — where bicarbonate geothermal waters emerge close to the white-sand beaches of Hồ Cốc Beach. The thermal springs emerge at around 70°C from fractures in the basement rock, and are channeled into bathing facilities within the reserve, offering a distinctive combination of jungle hot spring bathing and pristine beach access in a protected natural environment. The undeveloped coastal setting of Hồ Cốc, with its long beach backed by primary tropical forest, makes this thermal destination one of southern Vietnam's most serene and ecologically rich natural wellness experiences.

Insider tip — Ho Coc Hot Springs sit near the beach in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, offering the rare combination of thermal pools and a nearby white-sand shoreline. The sulfurous waters emerge in a forested coastal setting within the Ho Coc nature area. The springs are a favorite with Saigon residents seeking a low-key alternative to resort towns like Vung Tau. Visit at low tide to combine the hot spring soak with a long walk along the undeveloped Ho Coc beach.
