What is a Korean Spa?

You might be wondering what exactly is a Korean spa and why it is special. Well, for those scratching their heads at this service. Korean spas, or jjimjilbang as they are locally called, are bathhouses that mix dry and wet saunas, spas, and recreational centers all rolled into one. Typically seen in Korean pop culture as a way to destress or as a form of temporary lodging, these spas have captured the interests of Filipinos deep into the Hallyu wave. 

Korean spas are pretty similar to Japanese onsens in that you typically have to be in your birthday suit to enjoy the soaking pools and sauna rooms. However, a unique feature of jjimjilbangs is they also have a separate dry kiln or dry sauna that reaches high temperatures and must be enjoyed fully clothed. 

But at Jjimjbang Hotel Spa, there's more to it than your usual sauna, kiln, and massage—they have a wide array of recreational activities that'll keep you busy hours after you've finished your pamper sesh. These activities include billiards, table tennis, golf, foosball,  and a wide selection of board games. 

They also have a public karaoke bar so you can sing your heart out. But if you prefer a quieter time, step into the movie room and catch a flick.

If you're feeling energized and playful, you may want to hit up the arcade and computer room to relive your childhood with various classic and modern video games. 

Aside from these fun and active recreational spots, there's also a Korean restaurant, capsule beds, and a full suite of pampering services available here.

Whatever your concept is of rest and relaxation, you're bound to find something to suit your fancy at this Korean spa.
