Best Places to Visit for Busy Travellers Visiting Hoi An

Share with:

When you are travelling for work, rest is usually the first thing that gets pushed aside. Flights, meetings, screen time, tight schedules, and quick sightseeing plans can leave you feeling tired before the day is even over. If you are looking for a thing to do for busy travellers, taking time to recharge can make the rest of your trip far more enjoyable. That is why Wafaifo Resort Hoi An focuses on recovery therapies that do not take up your whole day. With sessions lasting around 15–90 minutes, busy travellers can recharge between plans and ease common issues such as low energy, poor sleep, stress, and mental fatigue.

Wellness Therapies for Peace of Mind

Infrared Sauna

  • Duration: 30 – 60 mins for a single session and 45 minutes for the Thermal & Light Protocol package
  • Key benefits: Supports stress management and relaxation, promotes relaxation and overall well-being, may help relieve muscle tension and stiffness,…

An Infrared Sauna uses infrared light to gently warm the body from within, creating a comfortable therapeutic heat experience without the extreme temperatures of a traditional sauna. During the session, you relax in a private sauna while the infrared heat penetrates deep into the body, promoting circulation and encouraging a natural sweat response. Available in 30 or 60-minute sessions, it is an ideal wellness break for travellers seeking to recharge in a short amount of time.

Ice Bath Therapy

  • Duration: 30 mins for a single session or 10 minutes for the Thermal & Light Protocol package.
  • Key benefits: Helps reduce inflammation and swelling, improve circulation, lower blood pressure, flush toxins, and leave you feeling refreshed and energised.

Ice Bath Therapy involves immersing the body in cold water for a short period to stimulate circulation and support recovery. During the 15-minute session, guests relax in a temperature-controlled ice bath while the cold exposure activates the body’s natural response mechanisms. Although often associated with athletes, this therapy is equally suited to anyone dealing with muscle tension, physical fatigue or stiffness after long hours at a desk or on the move. It helps ease muscle soreness, support circulation and leave both the body and mind feeling refreshed.

Red Light Therapy 

  • Duration: From 10 mins.
  • Key benefits: Skin rejuvenation, cellular repair, muscle recovery.

Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive wellness treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body’s natural recovery and regeneration processes. During the session, you relax while the light is applied to your body, allowing the energy to penetrate beneath the skin. Sessions can be completed in as quickly as 10 minutes, making it an easy addition to a busy travel itinerary. For an even more comprehensive recovery experience, guests can choose the Thermal & Light Protocol, which combines Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna and Ice Bath Therapy in one guided session. This carefully designed sequence helps prepare the body with red light therapy, promotes deep relaxation and circulation through infrared heat, and finishes with cold immersion to support muscle recovery, leaving you feeling refreshed, recharged and ready for your next adventure. You can explore our wellness packages here for more details.

HBOT

  • Duration: 60 mins or 90 mins
  • Key benefits: Exposes the body to elevated oxygen levels to support muscle recovery and reduce stress.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a relaxing way for busy travellers to recharge in just 60 minutes. Guests rest inside a pressurised chamber while breathing high-concentration oxygen to support muscle recovery, reduce travel fatigue, improve mental clarity and promote overall wellbeing. For the brand new Wellness by Wafaifo package, we also feature a new Dual HBOT Regenetec Chamber, allowing two guests to enjoy the experience together. Guests with certain medical conditions, or who are pregnant, should consult their doctor before undergoing HBOT.

Float Tank

  • Duration: 15, 30 or 60 mins
  • Key benefits: Deep relaxation, stress relief, improved mental clarity.

Float Tank creates a zero-gravity sensory environment where guests float effortlessly in body-temperature water enriched with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).
