When visiting Korea, besides shopping for cosmetics and trying various local Korean dishes, your trip might feel incomplete without visiting a Korean spa (jjimjilbang)! But with so many spas in Korea, how do you choose? Scenic Family has compiled the unique features of five jjimjilbangs to help you decide more easily!

1. Dragon Hill Spa & Sauna

Dragon Hill Spa & Sauna is the largest jjimjilbang in Seoul. It’s not just your ordinary spa—this six-story complex includes a jjimjilbang, SPA, golf, KTV, a cinema, and even a walkway themed after the drama “Winter Sonata.” Many Korean dramas and variety shows have been filmed here, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a Korean celebrity and catch a glimpse of their charm!

2. Seoul LK Spa

Located near Myeongdong and Dongdaemun, LK Spa is much larger than other spas in the Myeongdong area. This two-story facility is clean and bright. Combining sauna, SPA, and hot springs, LK Spa offers three types of saunas with different benefits: maifan stone, loess, and fire sauna, with temperatures ranging from low to high. The hot springs come in three flavors: ginseng, jasmine, and red wine. You can also experience traditional asarum culture here, relieving shopping fatigue while beautifying your skin!
