King Spa & Sauna in Palisades Park, NJ is a Korean Spa open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. https://kingsaunanj.com/ It is a dry spa (no pool, just hot tubs in the locker room) but plenty of saunas both hot and cold to relax you. I purchased admission from Groupon for $75 for 2 people which included 2 free smoothies.
Nudity plus culture shock
King Spa & Sauna is the first Korean Spa I’ve ever visited. At King Spa they provide you with a manditory uniform you must wear in the coed areas. In Asia, Korean Spas were an all nude unisex experience. It was a normal and non sexual practice of relaxation.
If you are in the locker room of King Spa & Sauna and want to use the spas you will be surrounded by naked bodies. It’s weird, it’s shocking and it’s uncomfortable until it’s not. You relax, you get over it and you get over yourself.Inside a cold room sporting my King Spa attire.
Saunas
There are lots of saunas. Salt room, charcoal room, infrared and many more. Here is a suggested guide on how to Spa. http://www.kingspa.com/dallas/spa-guide.htmlNo shoes are allowed in spa. They get checked in at the door.
Infrared light for tired feet.
If you get hungry there is a restaurant where you can dine on authentic Korean cuisine, hot tea or a smoothie.
Relax your cares away!
I went into King Spa feeling nervous not knowing what to expect but I left feeling relaxed and I now understand why K-Spas are a huge trend in Asian culture.
