There are kids at any other pool. So why would they not be here? Mostly Koreans or people that understand the culture go here. Too many Americans are Too Prudish about nudity to understand.

not all Americans are prudish. There are dozens of family friendly nude resorts and beaches in the United States, that are mostly used by Americans. At those places its coed, At the spa's is gender separated.

I believe Spa World does as I’ve seen some heavy set women but I would call and ask just to be sure.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I’d really love to try an exfoliating treatment at one of these places. Can you go and just do a treatment or do you have to buy a day pass too?

The scrubs are done in the bade pool area. You need to do a day pass for it.

Not a Korean spa, but the Moroccan hammam in Bethesda is a nice alternative if you want serious exfoliation in a relaxing environment.

its a family friendly spa. They have pools, which kids enjoy. In Korea its a tradition to go as a family. Our kids enjoy going. They have a few friends they have made there even that they see often during our visits.

Everyone is saying the kids are well behaved. Are they just sitting quietly in the pool? Or are they playing like or you see in a neighborhood pool? Maybe the word spa is what is throwing some of us off. That does not seem relaxing in the least.

Yes the kids are no issue at spa world, They are in the pool with there parents and normally are kept quiet and not running around, Some bring a few small bath tub toys or something to play with in the water. Nothing like the neighborhood pool. Not sure about the female side, but this is what i have observed on the male side.

Did you feel like it was a lot of guys "cruising" on the male side? Did you bring your DS weekday or weekend?

Sorry but why would you take your son somewhere he has to be naked and ogled/hit on by other guys?

I went the other day. You can get a $10 off Groupon for the day pass, and it's totally worth it to soak in the bade pool for an hour or so before your scrub (which is INTENSE, by the way).

Yeah, the scrub is not relaxing at all - but man did my skin feel amazing after. BTW - just so you're prepared - the Korean ladies doing the scrub are wearing black lace bras and panties. Kinda odd but has zero affect on anything.

Anyone looking for that isn’t hanging in a Korean spa. It’s really not acceptable in the culture.

Where do you think the other nude people would put the camera?

The black undies do make it a bit surreal. But those Korean ladies mean business.
