Cold Plunge & Sauna
Jeju Sauna provides a comprehensive Korean spa experience centered around its extensive thermal facilities. The spa features a wide variety of themed dry saunas, including a crystal sauna, clay room, salt room, jewel room, and a gold room, alongside a popular Turkish steam room. A dedicated cold plunge is available, and many guests incorporate it into a contrast therapy ritual, alternating between hot whirlpools, the cold plunge, and dry saunas like the clay room to relax and reset. The facility includes separate men's and women's areas with lockers, hot and medium whirlpools, a cold plunge, a dry sauna, and a steam sauna. The shared co-ed area, where everyone wears provided attire, houses several additional themed dry saunas. Spa-goers describe the cold plunge as amazing and essential for a powerful self-care routine.
Atmosphere
The venue aims to offer a peaceful, rejuvenating, and authentic East Asian experience. Every spa room offers its own unique relaxation, and guests note that lying on the heated floors is pure bliss. However, some guests report that noise levels, particularly in the women's spa area, can detract from the serene environment, with loud conversations occasionally occurring. The co-ed area has a great selection of saunas but lacks natural light, creating a liminal space feeling, and the adjacent open food court means the spa area often smells like food.
Pricing
Admission is $40. Services like body scrubs, facials, massages, and acupuncture are available at an additional cost. Some guests note recent price increases for these add-on services. Many feel that for the quality of the overall experience, the price is unbeatable, especially as the wet room and sauna access alone are considered worth the admission fee.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Many guests have positive experiences with service providers, such as those performing body scrubs and massages. However, specific incidents of perceived harassment or overly aggressive management by certain staff members are reported by some long-time visitors. Staff do intermittently attempt to enforce quiet rules in the spa areas.
Additional Amenities
The spa offers a full-service Korean restaurant that is open late, serving food that guests describe as amazing, flavorful, and comforting. The body scrub service is frequently highlighted as a luxurious treatment that leaves skin incredibly soft. Other available services include facials, Swedish massage, hip baths, and acupuncture. The facility provides towels, a change of clothes, and amenities like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and toothbrushes throughout.
