Mineral deposits found in the Nha Trang area are believed to have natural curative properties, which can be experienced first-hand at the city's several reputable 'mud spa' centres. Services range from the possibility of, quite literally, bathing in mud, to experiencing a full-on treatment in combination with a massage or other beauty procedures. Spa packages are offered at most centres and are incredibly great value. Some of the best-known spa centres include Thap Ba Hot Springs (with private baths available, as well as waterfalls and thermal pools with both warm and cold water); iResort (another large complex, plus water slides), 100 Egg Mud Bath, and – if you're too short on time to make the trip outside of town to one of the larger complexes – Galina Mud Bath right downtown.

The Bayada Islands form a chain of small coral formations in the Red Sea, roughly a 40-minute boat journey from Jeddah. Known for their clear, shallow turquoise waters and surrounding reefs, they are a popular local destination for snorkelling and diving. Several operators in Jeddah run day trips to the area, typically lasting around six hours and often including opportunities for swimming and water sports. While the "Maldives of Jeddah" nickname suggests a certain level of tropical splendour, the islands are best appreciated for their accessibility and the chance they offer to experience the Red Sea's marine environment on a half-day excursion.
