Ulike Spa

Spent a week in Seoul and decided to end my trip with a Spa night. Luckily found an opening at ULike

I felt like I was born again in new skin. There is truly nothing like being meticulously scrubbed, polished, and lathered by a Korean auntie—it’s a true art form. I was skillfully contorted and positioned as my masseuse removed every trace of grime from head to toe. This was followed by a face mask and a wonderful massage, where pressure points were precisely targeted using a hydrating serum. My hair was shampooed, and my scalp received its own deeply relaxing massage. Throughout the experience, the staff was attentive, warm, and genuinely lovely. We began by soaking in the baths and ended with access to hair dryers, toner, and lotion to refresh ourselves. Of course, we finished by enjoying complimentary tea and sweets—the perfect closing ritual.

The best seshin (body scrub) experience! If you are tired of the touristy places and would enjoy an authentic spa experience with genuine Korean hospitality, ULIKE SPA is the best. The spa is spotless, the scrub meticulous and you’ll feel reinvigorated with skin that feels like silk. Only 3 stops away from Myeongdong on Line 4. ps - I would rather gatekeep this jewel but the ladies are too nice!!

Definitely one of the highlights of my trip so far. I genuinely didn’t realise how much dead skin I had until this spa 😂 I left with baby smooth skin and feeling so refreshed. I’m sad I forgot to ask for my therapist’s name because they did such an amazing and thorough job. They explained each step of the process clearly, which made me feel really comfortable even though it was my first time. Such a sweet touch at the end too, by the time we finished it was late, and after I mentioned it was my first day in Seoul and I hadn’t eaten much yet, they gifted me a Shin Ramyun cup noodle before I left. Such kind people and so glad I booked this instead of overthinking it.

What an amazing experience! First, this is a Korean scrub spa - similar to the scrubs at Korean saunas or jjimjilbangs, except it is a private room with additional services such as massage oil, facial & mask, and shampoo wash. You can opt for different packages depending on your price point and time. The point of the scrub is to get rid of your dead skin cells through rigorous scrubbing and then to moisturize. I apologize if this is redundant information but I specify for foreigners who are more accustomed to western or traditional spa experiences. That being said, from start to finish, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. You are welcomed with a drink and personal consultation, and then proceed to your private room where you bathe and shower before the scrub. I opted for the No. 5 which included a full body scrub, oil massage, mask, and shampoo. I left with my skin feeling the cleanest and smoothest it's ever been! Smooth as a baby's butt ☺️ I will definitely be back and I highly recommend you visit!
