Gyeongbokgung Palace massages

Dongdaemun Sparex is the best! It's affordable, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is also incredibly easy to find. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right across the street. You can easily find it by taking the elevator down to the third basement floor of the building. They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or scrubbing towels, so it's a good idea to bring your own. If you forget, they sell them at the entrance, which is convenient. For women, mugwort steaming is highly recommended! It costs 2,000 yen. It feels incredibly good and makes you sweat a lot. After that, getting a body scrub is the best! On the fourth basement floor, there's also a food court, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), and a relaxation area where you can unwind. Going in the morning is recommended as it's less crowded.

You can use the self-service ticket machine (with Chinese language option) next to the lobby on the 9th floor to exchange tickets. The bathhouse only provides bar soap, and the hairdryer costs 200 Korean Won for 180 seconds of use. On the 8th floor, there's a food court (with self-order kiosks) and a public lounge area. The overall environment is very clean, and it wasn't crowded or noisy on the day I visited; it was very quiet.

Excellent service and top-notch comfort. After a day of walking, a perfect massage was just what I needed to rejuvenate. The pressure was spot on and surprisingly, the foot bath was done while lying down, and it included a back massage. The service was so good, I'd definitely come back again. Kim, who greeted me, had first-class service and was incredibly polite. Many pleasant surprises, I was very happy.

After a week of exams, a body scrub and a massage sounded amazing and Ulike did not dissapoint. Clean facility, super kind staff and a relaxing experience! Highlight of the procedure definitly was the shampooing - I almost fell asleep! Afterwards I felt like besides the dead skin all my stress had been scrubed away. Since I speak a little korean, I was even able to practice a little smalltalk^^ Thank you Ulike-Team for an amazing experience!

WOW what an experience! I would recommend this is anyone who needs TRUE self care! I did the basic course with the elasticity facial! I’m still trying to fathom all that just happened to me and WOW! never felt cleaner and smoother a day in my life. my face has been glowing for days head to toe!

Legit one of the best facial I ever done. Therapist is gentle and assuring. Facial was intensive and soothing. My husband even fell asleep. Skin was as least 2 tone fairer. Thumbs up and will definitely come back again.

It was a great experience, the therapist has a good knowledge about what she's doing. Me and my wife had very relaxing session. I will invite everyone who has intention to do skin care and massage in one session.

Easy to find this place. Therapist was fantastic, she massage away lots of tension i had on my neck and shoulders with right amount of pressure without me feeling pain. But walls are thin, so you can hear voices from the next door. Lesser privacy. All in all a good experience as long as you are solely for massage therapy and less of the whole luxurious experience.

On the last day of my trip to Korea, I visited SOLA SPA! ✨ First, I was surprised by how clean and beautiful the facility was. It was such a calming space; I felt relaxed the moment I walked in. ♡ The staff's service was also very attentive, making it easy to trust them even for a first-time visitor. This time, I experienced a head spa 💆‍♀️✨ It wasn't just incredibly relaxing; the treatment was thoughtfully designed for scalp and hair care, offering both "healing" and "hair care." During the treatment, it was so comfortable that I almost drifted off to sleep… 😴 Afterward, my head felt so refreshed! My hair was silky smooth, and even the texture felt different. ✨ Since trips to Korea often involve packed schedules with beauty clinics and shopping, I highly recommend incorporating some "rest time" like this. ♡ Its location in the Myeongdong area is also a plus, making it easy to fit into your travel itinerary. This is a spa I'd recommend to anyone looking for a head spa in Korea, especially adult women who want to soothe their travel fatigue while also caring for their hair and scalp. 🇰🇷🤍 Now I have one more place I want to visit when I go to Myeongdong again! ♡
