Wi Spa, located on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, offers an authentic Korean spa experience, blending ancient traditions with modern luxury. This $18 million jimjilbang (Korean sauna) provides a unique cultural immersion, complete with a full-service restaurant serving traditional Korean delicacies. The “Korean spa experience” has evolved from centuries-old practices where families frequented public bathhouses for cleansing rituals. Wi Spa elevates this tradition, providing a luxurious and invigorating daily experience for both Koreans and non-Koreans alike, with expert services readily available.
For those unfamiliar with Korean spa etiquette, here’s a guide to navigate your visit: Upon arrival, you’ll receive a wristwatch-style key for your locker and identification for your stay. A towel and shirt will be provided at the front desk. Additional towels, a bathrobe, and shorts are available on your designated gender-specific floor. Store your belongings in your locker and change into the provided attire.
Within the gender-segregated spa and sauna areas, clothing is not permitted, including bathing suits. Showering before entering the tubs is required. Most guests utilize the provided towels for modesty.
One of the most popular services for women is the Buff and Aroma Massage. This $100 treatment combines the traditional Korean Buff, an exfoliating technique that removes dead skin and impurities, with a soothing aroma oil massage to improve circulation and relax muscles.
When utilizing the co-ed facilities, including the jimjilbang’s various saunas (bulgama, salt, clay, jade, and ice), please wear the provided shirt and shorts. Enjoy authentic Korean cuisine at the full-service restaurant and relax on the rooftop terrace.
Designated sleeping areas are available in both the jimjilbang and gender-specific levels for rest and tranquility. Free Wi-Fi is also provided for guests to stay connected.
