About this Sanctuary
Nestled in the heart of the city, this venue offers a quintessential Korean spa experience that is both intimate and refreshing. The entrance to Riverside Spa leads you through an unassuming parking lot, where the friendly manager greets each visitor with a warm smile. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy yet inviting, with traditional wooden interiors that exude comfort. A range of facilities awaits—two pools (one hot, one cold), a steam sauna, and a dry sauna, all expertly maintained for your relaxation. The highlight of Riverside Spa is undoubtedly its traditional Korean body scrub service, where skilled ajummas work their magic to leave you with soft, glowing skin. Adjacent to the spa is a charming Korean restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience post-treatment. While some visitors find it small and outdated, the overall experience at Riverside Spa is one of genuine warmth and relaxation.
