Insider tip — Adjacent to the Seonunsa temple complex in Gochang's forested hills, this spa sits within one of Korea's most celebrated camellia and azalea landscapes. The thermal water draws from deep saline aquifers beneath the Honam plain. Spring visits coincide with the famous camellia bloom along the temple path, creating an extraordinary sensory contrast. The jjimjilbang layout includes traditional earthen-fired floor rooms that are especially popular with older Korean visitors.
