Blue Sea Spa

Blue Sea Spa is the kind of place you end up at every afternoon when you’re staying at An Bang beach. The massages here actually work – deep tissue that finds the right spots rather than the vague surface-level rubbing that passes for massage at half the places on this street.

Ask for Thu by name. Reviewers who figured this out early came back daily. The owner An runs a tight ship and will pair you with the same therapist each visit if you’re staying a while (a small thing that makes a big difference when you’ve got a specific knot in your shoulder).

Beyond massage, the foot treatments and pedicures are worth your time – including some genuinely skilled work around problem areas like ingrown toenails. You finish every session with fresh mango and ginger tea, which sounds like a small touch but you’ll miss it everywhere else you go.
