There are two main Korean spas in the Houston area: Spa World and Gangnam Spa. I’ve been to both multiple times, and Spa World remains my favorite, mainly due to its location, size, amenities, and better managed. I often purchase a weekday Groupon for around $30, while regular admission is $45 per person. The spa is in Katy and has a large, dedicated parking lot. Check-in is straightforward: store your shoes in a numbered locker, give the key to staff, pay admission, and receive a separate key for your locker inside the bathhouse. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. (Tip: odd-numbered lockers in the bathhouse are on top, so choose accordingly if you prefer the top locker.) Inside the bathhouse, nudity is required. Men’s and women’s areas each feature three hot tubs (100–108°F), a steam sauna, dry sauna, cold plunge pool, a heated jet pool, and showers along the walls. On my most recent visit, one hot tub included a traditional herbal “tea bag” with lemongrass, ginger, and eucalyptus—a unique touch, but not a standard feature. In the co-ed common areas, guests wear the provided shorts and t-shirt. Here you’ll find dry saunas, a pyramid room, an ice room, and the “Fire Dome” or Bulgama, the hottest room. Upstairs, the two-story facility offers a forest room with relaxing projector effects, a theater room, infrared heating pads, and a space for virtual golf. There’s also a restaurant, bar, and café, though I usually bring my own food to focus on the spa experience. One note: on my last two visits, massage therapists were talking loudly in the common area outside the sleeping area. Each time, I reported it, and staff immediately addressed the issue with management. I appreciated how quickly they handled it; something you don't see happen at Gangnam Spa. Overall, Spa World is my go-to Korean spa in Houston. The amenities, space, and friendly staff make it well worth a visit, and I typically spend five to six hours enjoying the baths, saunas, and relaxation areas.
I had such a great experience at Spa World. From the moment I walked in, everything felt calm, organized, and welcoming. The staff were very polite, the environment was spotless, and every area of the spa was beautifully maintained. It’s one of the cleanest spas I’ve ever visited, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. One important thing to know: in the gender-specific bath , swimsuits and underwear are not allowed. You must be fully nude, which is a cultural norm in many Korean spas. As long as you’re aware of this before going, you can enjoy the experience comfortably. Overall, I absolutely loved Spa World. Very clean, relaxing, and a truly wonderful experience. I definitely recommend it!
I had such a great time spending the whole day at Spa World! I went on a weekday, which was perfect. It wasn’t too crowded, and I could really take my time relaxing between the different sauna rooms. I brought my laptop and got some work done in between sessions, which made it the most productive self care day ever. The restaurant was a nice surprise! The Korean food was really good, flavorful, and authentic. I also loved that the cafe had plenty of snacks, coffee, and tea options for when I wanted something light. The facility is super clean, spacious, and peaceful. The staff were kind and helpful, and the overall vibe made it easy to unwind and recharge. Definitely recommend coming on a weekday if you want a calm, all day retreat to reset your mind and body. I’ll be back for sure!

I especially enjoyed the unique themed sauna rooms each one felt different and really relaxing. The staff were welcoming and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. The Korean restaurant inside was a nice surprise too. the food was delicious and the café had great drinks for after the spa. Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, recharge, and experience a little piece of Korean spa culture right here in Texas. I'll Definitely be back
I took my daughter here for her 24th birthday. She and my 15yr old daughter and myself had a great time. There are plenty of saunas and cold rooms and quiet spaces to just relax. You could go with friends or just for a moment to gathers yourself in this busy world. The atmosphere is great and the staff is polite. I only with you didn't have to be completely nude in the bath house pool and hot tub. Oh the food is good as well I just wish there were more healthy options available
