Wi Spa is a 24-hour Korean spa in Los Angeles — and the kind of beauty experience that makes American spa-going feel pretentious by comparison.
What you get
For under $30, you get all-day access to mineral hot tubs, dry saunas at varying temperatures, jade-floor heated rooms, salt rooms, and the legendary cold plunge. Bring your own swimsuit; everyone is wearing the same provided uniform once you’re inside.
Why it’s not for the timid
The bathing area is gender-segregated and clothing-optional. The Korean scrub-down — done by an assigned staff member with a coarse mitt — is famously thorough. Squeamishness about both is the only reason to skip.
What to do
Ten-hour visit minimum. Hot soak, sauna, cold plunge, repeat. Add the body scrub. End with a meal in the in-spa restaurant.
The single best beauty value in Los Angeles.
