Spa in South Korea

Spa season comes as the winter season comes.
There are more than 300 spas in Korea.

Korea's spa is a kind of cure spa these days.
But now, it looks more like a waterpark.

I recommend these spas in Korea.


8. Pocheon-si. Il-dong, E-dong : Jeil brimstone spa.

This province is very famous for its galbi (Rib : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galbi) and Makgeolli (Rice wine : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makgeolli).

There are more brimstone spa.

It is an old area where facilities are not so good. The water is so slippery.
Enjoy the spa with the ribs and rice wine.

Facilities: ★★ The quality of water: ★★★★
Sightseeing: ★★★ Price: ★★★★


7. Termeden spa in Incheon.

You can enjoy the German style spa.
The area is surrounded by a dense forest.

But they manage the waterpark, too. If you want to enjoy the spa only, check out the price.


Facilities: ★★★★★ The quality of water: ★★★★

Sightseeing: ★★★ Price: ★★




6. The secret of Ganghwa island

Almost all the people who visit the Gangwha island do not notice there is a spa in here.
Because the signboard outside the building says, "Just a Traveller's Hotel."

The spa belongs to the Traveller's Hotel.

Now Jjimjilbang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jjimjilbang) is available too.
But like I to say that this is a big spa but the quality of water is not too good.
Near the hotel, there are many places you can visit.

Facilities: ★★★★ The quality of water: ★★★

Sightseeing: ★★★★☆ Price: ★★★★★



5. Miranda Spa

A newly developed hotel spa.
The facilities and the quality of water are best. But the price...

Facilities: ★★★★☆ The quality of water: ★★★★

Sightseeing: ★★★☆ Price: ★★☆



4. Best facilities - Asan Spavis
When you look at this spa, you feel like you are in the middle of the city in Europe. Yes, it is a huge place.

And they try to make lots of events that customers can enjoy.

Facilities: ★★★★★ The quality of water: ★★★☆

Sightseeing: ★★☆ Price: ★★★★


3. Aqualand
When you have to visit Seoul Metro, please visit here.
The best spa near Seoul.

There are lots of places you can visit near the spa.

Facilities: ★★★★ The quality of water: ★★★☆

Sightseeing: ★★★★★ Price: ★★★★★



2. Busan City's pride - Hushimchung
The largest hot spring facility simultaneously accommodating 3000 persons.
There are various bath courses according to personal constitution and age.

Facilities: ★★★★★ The quality of water: ★★★★

Sightseeing: ★★★★★ Price: ★★★★





1. Damyang spa in Jellanamdo
The best place I've visited.
Damyang is one of the northernmost places where bamboo is found in South Korea.

Near the spa, the bamboo forests are well-known among Koreans.
The roads in Damyang are also well-known.
They are lined with many Metasequoia trees.

Hi, my friends and I intend on visiting Korea in January 2012. The girls in the group want a good spa, but the guys like a good waterpark. Is there anyone you could recommend near Seoul or pyeongchang? We were decideing between Asan Spavis, resom spa castle and peak island (yongpyong).

As it'll be winter there, we were looking for one with most of it's exciting activities indoors.

Which would you suggest? Thank you so much (: I love your blog post about the spas.
