All Day at a Jjimjilbang
Wednesday September 12, 2012
Took off work yesterday and headed out to Spa World.
It’s a Jjimjilbang [Korean bath house] with 7 poultice rooms, bade pools, saunas, hot tubs, full restaurant, snack bar, etc.
A few images from their website.
It wasn’t too crowded with it being a weekday and all. Many times I had a poultice room all to myself. Honestly skipping work all day to sweat and bathe is my idea of heaven. I used each poultice room at least once with the Salt Room being my favorite. Though the Amethyst Gem room was without a doubt the “prettiest.” And the Red Clay rooms brought on the best instant sweat. I visited the bade pool area twice. Spending at least an hour each visit. In all we spent over 5 hours there :deco3:
Poultice rooms. I only took a few while I had a poultice room to myself. I didn’t want to bother people by using my phone. :)
My only complaint is that I wish it were ever-so-slightly closer to me. Close enough to go every other month maybe but not every other week thanks to the insanity that is DC traffic. :drops:
Yelp has more details plus their official website. I think it’s a good couples spot. The poultice rooms and everything are co-ed while the pools/lockers/all-the-naked-places are, of course, segregated (but available for both men & women.) :ok: It’s easy to meet up in the common area to visit the poultice rooms or grab a bite to eat together.

It looks like a beautiful place~ I’m sorry the distance is an inconvenience ;_____; but it’s great that you can look forward to take a trip there once in a while!!~
In LA we have Koreatown which is filled with spas…I wish I could grab a bunch and give them to you!!!! -
Wow! The interior is so nice! I love the use of the stones. It looks so pretty! I’ve never been to a Jjimjilbang before, but it looks really nice~! Too bad there’s none where I live ( ⋅⁔⋅ )

Oooh, looks so pretty and relaxing!
I’ve always wanted to visit a spa but sadly it’s too expensive for me…
Maybe next time when there’s a discount going on. -
What a lovely place to stop by once in a while! Definitely a good for leaving stress and troubles at the door. Hope you had a lovely and relaxing time. :D
-
oh my god! did you get those matching t-shirt sets and the towel thing for your hair?
did you eat eggs and drink bamboo water (or what i assume it to be)
lol… -
I love Jjimjilbang! They are all over K-Town here in Los Angeles it’s so tempting to visit them all! They’re very relaxing and, to me, feel a bit more luxurious than western spas. :D
-
Wow, that place looks like a fantasy land. I’ve always wanted to visit a Korean spa. One day! :)
-

-
I must find one near me too! I love saunas.. so relaxing :)

I’ve been to that Spa World multiple times! It’s so relaxing, and I love coming out of the poultice rooms into the amazing air conditioning and getting a melon bar by the snack bar :)) I also love going into the locker rooms to wear face masks and doing my nails!
Unfortunately, the longest I’ve ever stayed there is ~7 hours. ONE DAY I WILL GET MY 24 HRS. ONE DAY.

Wow! This looks amazing. I never found spas appealing, but that makes me want to go.
