Hotels in South Korea →Tickets & activities — South Korea →See highlights ↓In South Korea, hot bathing is far more than a spa practice, it is a genuine social institution embodied by the famous "jjimjilbang," those large bathhouse and sauna complexes open day and night. Our guide lists 93 locations across the country, reflecting a highly developed urban bathing culture where people come to relax with friends or family alike.
Beyond the big cities, more mountainous or coastal regions are home to more traditional springs, often valued for their soothing natural setting and a more intimate atmosphere than that of urban jjimjilbang. This regional diversity reveals very different faces of Korean bathing, from high-tech saunas to open-air pools surrounded by hills.
The bathing ritual in South Korea remains, above all, a moment of togetherness and relaxation woven into daily life, a chance to slow down away from the fast pace of the cities, in a welcoming atmosphere open to everyone.
Most common ideal season among mapped places: Toute l'année (idéal automne-hiver).
