Compared with the resort's own car

Resort transfer: Ask the hotel; not published as a single price. Minera sells packages that include a bus from the city (full-board packages quoted from about 2.7M VND per guest for two days and one night in a Vietnamese listing, 2026, undated).

Our private car: $58 (1.500.000₫) for a sedan, $63 for a 7-seater. Per car, tolls included.

Package buses run to a set schedule. A booked car is for guests who want their own timing or a day trip.

Is Minera an overnight stay or a day trip?

Both work. Minera describes a resort of 137 rooms and villas (the resort site, read 4 Oct 2026), some with private mineral-water pools, plus a day-visitor complex with more than 30 bathing services: mineral pools, a mud bath, hot and cold saunas and the 82-degree pool where visitors boil eggs. Day tickets and overnight stays are sold separately, and price lists vary by season and by weekday, so use Minera’s own page when you plan. See Binh Chau for the springs and the local area.

How do I get from the airport to the springs?

The car takes the Long Thanh–Dau Giay expressway and the Bien Hoa–Vung Tau expressway (under 9 seats only since May 2026), then Highway 55 to Binh Chau. Allow 2¾ to 3½ hours. For a day trip from Tan Son Nhat, you can land, go straight to the springs and be back for a late flight; ask for the car to wait and tell us how many hours.

What if I’m combining Minera with Ho Tram?

That is the common pairing. Binh Chau is inland from the Ho Tram strip, 30–40 minutes from the beach resorts such as Meliá Ho Tram and Dhawa Ho Tram. A single car can take you from the airport to Minera for a night, then on to the beach.

What about Ho Coc beach?

It is a short run from the springs, quieter than the resort strip and more rustic. Ask the driver to stop on the way if you want a look.

Our driver standard

The car you'd want after a long flight

Car quality in Vietnam varies wildly: a driver smoking between jobs, seatbelts tucked away or missing, a car that's done half a million kilometres. This is the standard we hold every driver to, and what we ask you about after every trip.

  • Calm hands on the wheel. Smooth, unhurried driving. Safety comes before speed, every time.
  • The horn is for emergencies. Not a musical instrument. Anyone who has sat in Saigon traffic knows why we say this.
  • No smoke, no perfume bomb. Nobody smokes in our cars, and there's no air freshener strong enough to make your eyes water.
  • Air you'd want to breathe. Cabin filters changed on schedule, so the air-con blows clean, not twenty years of exhaust.
  • Newer cars, kind suspension. Cars in good condition, with seats and suspension made for a four-hour drive.
  • Seatbelts that work. In every seat. Child seats are free on request.

FAQ

About this transfer

How long does it take to get from Saigon airport to Minera Hot Springs?

About 2¾ to 3½ hours by car. Minera says it's a 2-hour drive from the city centre, which is the clear-road figure; from Tan Son Nhat allow longer.

Can we do Minera as a day trip with the car waiting?

Yes. Add waiting time to the booking and the driver stays while you bathe, then drives you back. It's a long day (about six hours in the car), so many people prefer one night. Opening hours and day-pass prices change by season, so check Minera's ticket page.

Does Minera run a shuttle bus?

Its packages include a bus from the city, but we haven't found a standalone price or timetable for it. Contact the resort on 0254 387 1131.

Can you take us from Minera to Ho Tram or Vung Tau afterwards?

Yes. Ho Tram is about 30–40 minutes away and Vung Tau about an hour. See the table below.

Is it too far for a day trip from Saigon?

It's long but doable. Leave Saigon by about 7 am to have time in the water, and leave Binh Chau by about 4 pm to avoid evening traffic into the city.
