Sealala Spa & Water Park is recommended by Seoul bloggers when they introduce budget tour in Seoul. A highlight of Sealala is Korean Jjimjilbang(another name is bath house or sauna room)Tourist Guide here is to show 20 things to know before a Korean spa visit. Near Myeongdong, it is easy to find this Jjimjilbang Seoul Station. The best part about visiting Seoul isn’t the celebrity spotting--Lotte Shopping Mall. It isn’t Hongdae Circle, nor is it stree-style--Dongdaemun. The very best part about Seoul is their 24-hour Korean spas. Asian spas are different than their North American, or European counterparts. It is a must to read this guide before naked at Korean spa. This ancient bath house rituals infused with modern treatments. And it’s only USD16 / HKD127 for a day pass, it is very worthy. 1. No need for a bathing suit even in Jjimjilbang indoors, becaused at Sealala Spa, sauna suits are doled out at check in. This is the required uniform inside the saunas. It is suit like Korean stars wear in the following picture. ![]() ![]() ![]() 5. Differed from North American Spa or European Spa, it is not bra-less during dry sauna or sweat steam curtain. 6. Yes, unlike previous spa you have been experienced, you can enjoy Korean spa in Sealala, such as dry sauna and sweat steam curtain. Both are kick ass treatments. 7. There are four kinds of temperature for options of sauna--10 degrees, 34.7 degrees, 51.8 degrees, 72.7 degrees. When you feel it is too hot, you can take a rest at the mat. ![]() ![]() 10. Some Korean Massage Shops are set up in L.A. It is said that these woman staff there are fierce, their powerful hands will coax those knots right out of your body and leave you begging for mercy. However, it is not the thing in Sealala, because staff here is very nice, and talk with foreigners with good English. 11. Prepare to sweat in your shorts. There are co-ed specialty saunas and they’re worth a go. I didn’t get the point of a few of them (what the hell will laying in a jade room do for me?), but the salt and clay saunas contain massive chunks of salt and clay, respectively. 12. Find yourself a spot, lay down and bury yourself in the therapeutic minerals. The only downside is if it’s busy, you’re sandwiched together like sardines, sweating it out in a T and gym shorts you’ve got to wear all day. 13. You may get hooked on Korean period dramas. You’ll find flat screens showing the latest Korean TV in the common areas, ladies lounge and some saunas.Yes, Sealala is a location for screenshooting of Korean TV show. There was one awesome drama I got hooked on in the clay sauna. The royal doctor was blackmailing the princess’ lady-in-waiting because she used to be a slave. I don’t think I’ve ever been so thirsty, but I just couldn’t leave until finding out what happened (clever lady-in-waiting got the doctor fired). Thank goodness for subtitles! 14. At check in, you’ll be given a locker key that can be inducted, and you swipe to enter your locker. You can return spa suit in locker when leaving. You can settle al with key inductedl in Cash and Information. 15. Yes, you can eat at the spa! There’s area of food and beverage on the Jimjilbang floor, where you can tuck into healthy soups and succulent beef short ribs (not exactly spa food, but delicious nevertheless). 16. This is where housewives set up camp, couples nap and friends shoot the breeze between treatments. There are loads of yoga mats, pillows and blankets to make your space as comfy as possible. 17. You can still connect. In this Jimbilbang area, you’ll find little nooks filled with computers, a kids’ zone, a library and even a comic book collection. Wi-fi is free through the spa. 18. Spas like this are a true community hub. If I live in a Koreatown, you can bet I’d be meeting my girlfriends here once a week.
