Gangnam Sauna

Overview

Gangnam Sauna is a traditional Korean Jimjilbang (co-ed spa) located in Norcross, Georgia, offering an authentic experience of ancient Korean spa culture combined with modern wellness services. Established since 2013 and honored as Atlanta’s Best Family Fun Spa, it provides a family-friendly environment where visitors can relax in specialty sauna rooms, hot and cold baths, and communal areas. The facility emphasizes detoxification, relaxation, skin health, and stress relief through heated rooms made of natural materials like clay, salt, and jade.

The overall atmosphere is tranquil, therapeutic, and communal, fostering a social space for families and friends. Gender-separated wet areas promote nudity for hygiene (with towels provided), while the co-ed Jimjilbang features comfortable uniforms, sleeping zones, and entertainment. Visitors rave about its cleanliness, uncrowded vibe compared to larger spas like Jeju, and exceptional body scrubs, making it ideal for holistic rejuvenation in a smaller, more intimate setting.
