In Chungju, in South Korea's Chungcheongbuk-do province, this thermal spa offers sodium-chloride water at 40°C spread across several pools of differing temperature. A sauna, sleep room and massage services make it a full jjimjilbang experience.
Insider tip — Situated inland near Chungju Lake, one of Korea's largest artificial reservoirs created by the Chungju Dam, this spa offers sodium-chloride waters at 40°C in a peaceful landlocked setting. The facility serves as a restorative base for visitors exploring the nearby Woraksan National Park and its granite peaks. Weekday mornings offer near-solitary access to heated pools that overlook forested hills. The Hangang Bike Path along the reservoir makes for an excellent pre-soak cycling route.
