Formed over millions of years beneath Mother Earth, the Đảnh Thạnh natural alkaline mineral source is a precious gift from the nature of Khánh Hòa. The journey to discover the origins of this precious water not only unveils its unique geological value but also explains why Đảnh Thạnh has become the foundation for the products of Khánh Hòa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda).
The Sacred Water Linked to Folk Legends
Tracing back in history, at the foot of the majestic Hòn Chuông Mountain, a mineral water stream has quietly flowed through generations – that is Đảnh Thạnh, a gift that the ancestors believed to be “Heaven’s Water.” In the ancient book Đại Nam nhất thống chí, this mineral water was recorded as a sacred source, closely associated with the legend of Thiên Y A Na, the Holy Mother who protects the land. Locals believe that the water gushing from the earth not only brings life but also has healing powers – a blessing for the land’s everlasting prosperity. The name “Đảnh Thạnh” comes from this belief, meaning “The Peak of Prosperity” in the local dialect.

Scientific Value of One of Vietnam’s Leading Natural Alkaline Mineral Sources
Since the last century, this mineral water source has attracted the attention of many domestic and international scientists. From Professor H. Fronte (France) with his work The Water Sources in Southern Vietnam in 1958, to in-depth studies by the University of Pharmacy and Vietnamese doctors from 1978 to 1991, all have confirmed that the Đảnh Thạnh mineral source possesses high stability, rare composition, comparable to renowned mineral springs such as Evian (France), Kuldur (Russia), Bath (UK)…
Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water is Proven to Have a Perfect pH 9.0 Alkalinity and Rich Natural Minerals
A highlight of this mineral source is its high content of Metasilicic acid (H₂SiO₃) and a completely natural pH 9.0 alkalinity – helping prevent and reduce various health conditions. When the first well was completed in 1986, the mineral water erupted from a depth of 220 meters, at a temperature of 72°C, with a flow rate of 1.6 liters/second – a clear testament to the vibrant life force from Mother Earth. Today, the Đảnh Thạnh natural alkaline mineral source is still licensed by the Ministry of Health as one of the quality natural alkaline mineral sources in Vietnam.
Preserving the Essence of Nature – Spreading Health to Millions of Consumers
With a deep understanding of this natural heritage’s value, Khánh Hòa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company has been actively preserving the pristine ecosystem around the mineral mine area in Diên Khánh – featuring natural vegetation and a 35-hectare area of pristine mineral mud. A protective buffer zone has also been established to isolate the water source from residential areas and pollution factors.
From these “Jewels in the Rock,” the company has developed three main product lines: Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water, Đảnh Thạnh Carbonated Mineral Water, and Sumo Energy Mineral Water. Each product offers a different way to bring the Earth’s energy closer to modern consumers.
Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water is Distributed Widely Nationwide
From the historic drops at the foot of Hòn Chuông Mountain, Vikoda has delivered the essence of Đảnh Thạnh’s water source to millions across the country – through a wide distribution network including over 173 supermarkets, 3,600 convenience stores, 50 resorts, more than 60 four- and five-star hotels, and 100 corporate clients. Particularly, the company’s mineral water products have also expanded internationally, conquering the Chinese market – a populous and promising market, clearly demonstrating the lasting appeal of pure natural value.
In the future, Vikoda will continue investing in research and modern production technology to develop new products, carrying the full energy of the Đảnh Thạnh mineral source – contributing to raising community health standards with solutions derived from nature.
