ABOUT

About Birthree CHAMPACA

  • A Japanese spa chosen by travelers from around the world

    Japanese-owned, with techniques supervised by a Japanese instructor. About 70% of our guests come from outside Japan.

  • Only therapists who complete two months of training

    Our head spa is performed only by therapists who have trained for two months under a Japanese instructor and passed an exam. We cannot add staff quickly, but every treatment meets the same standard.

  • Recommended by nearby five-star hotels

    Concierges at nearby hotels, including Park Hyatt, The Reverie Saigon, Sheraton, Hilton and The Myst, refer their guests to us.

BACKGROUND

Market background

International arrivals to Vietnam reached a record high in 2025, and 2026 is running ahead of that pace. Arrivals from Japan keep growing as well. Meanwhile, the spa market in Ho Chi Minh City is split between luxury hotel spas and budget local shops, leaving travelers who want high-quality service at a fair price with few options. Birthree CHAMPACA fills that gap, offering authentic Japanese technique and hospitality — Japanese-owned and Japanese-trained — at an accessible price.

International arrivals

Vietnam, 2025
approx. 21.2 million (+20.4% year on year, an all-time high)
Vietnam, Jan–Sep 2026
approx. 17.7 million (+14.5% year on year)
From Japan, 2025
approx. 814,000 (+14.4% year on year)
Ho Chi Minh City, 2025
approx. 8.6 million (+40.3% year on year, city figures)
