Descanso Garden Spa, Tujunga

The word jjimjilbang is a term integral to Korean culture. While it literally translates to a "heated indoor area," and most people would recognize it as a sauna, Descanso Garden Spa boasts much more than that. The spa tries to impart the combined sense of community and healing that jjimjilbang creates, with both communal and unisex areas, dry and steam saunas, and hot tubs and pressure-jet pools. The adjoining spa offers facials and massages to prolong the relaxation. And Descanso Garden Spa even offers over 30 different traditional Korean dishes, snacks and smoothies to fully embody the jjimjilbang service.
