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.

I booked their Travel Fatigue Recovery program for my partner & cupping therapy for myself. Due to a booking misunderstanding, we ended up changing it so we could both experience the same treatment & I’m glad we did! The staff were so accommodating and polite, even though we arrived about 17 minutes late on a Friday evening due to traffic & Uber issues. I just wish the directions here on Klook mentioned that it was on the 4th floor. For my first experience with cupping therapy, we first had a consultation where they explained the process, benefits, and that it would leave temporary marks. Their English was great! The infrared heat therapy & relaxation bed felt great, and they checked on our comfort throughout. It wasn’t painful at all; the release of the cups was the best part! They finished with 2 herbal patches on our backs. They gave us a thoughtful gift when we left and recommended returning before our flight home. Overall, such a positive first experience; I’d recommend them!

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.

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! ♡

The staff who spoke Japanese made the pre-treatment explanation smooth. The staff performing the treatment was also very kind, and the hand massage was wonderful. I was able to relax while warming my body with yomogi steam and staying hydrated. My legs were swollen from walking all day, so the swelling went down and I felt refreshed. My face was also lifted thanks to the Golki effect, and my skin felt plump and soft the next day. My friend and I used the service this time, and my friend was also very happy and completely satisfied. I would love to come again if I have the chance.

This was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. This massage and facial was so detailed. Best experience ever! will be back in Korea soon and definitely will come back! they even give you tea after. such a beautiful experience and amazing customer service! 10/10

This was my third time experiencing a full-body scrub, and it was done more thoroughly than anywhere else I've been. Afterward, my skin felt incredibly smooth and refreshed. When I entered the hotel lobby, I couldn't find any signs or directions, and only found my way after asking at the front desk. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to get a scrub here.

It was overall a very relaxing and enjoyable spa. I had a skin analysis at the start and the therapist explained the results in detail, with advice on improving skin concerns such as pore, skin elasticity, tone, texture, wrinkles, spots and sebum before the actual facial. The facial was phenomenal, leaving me with glass skin at the end of the session.

The ladies are very accomodating and lovely. The treatment was very relaxing and effective. I highly recommend taking time to have a treatment here while you are holidaying in Seoul. Location was a plus too! :)
