Every time I visit Hugh Spa, I remind myself how much I really enjoy visiting this place and how I should come at least once a month. Fast forward a year later and Its on my New Years resolution list. LOL guess it’s better than nothing. Come on a week day, if you can – ample parking and no one around. Bring a book or something to keep you occupied and get your monies worth stay longer than 2-3 hours and do yourself a favor and get a wet massage! Nothing has changed, the customer service superb, always clean and when I come pretty quiet – except the newbies that love chatting it up like you’re not at a spa. If that’s you….. go to Wispa, it’s like a party in there! Anyways nothing new, except maybe updated food pricing. They only offer food Fri-Sun! Enjoy!

I really hate that I have to share this place with other people! But it wouldn’t be fair to keep this hidden gem to myself. I’ve been coming to Hugh Spa for almost 8 years now, I was happy to hear they lived through the pandemic. It’s been a cool min since I’ve been back but word of mouth has spread. Came on a Wednesday morning and I was so surprised at how busy it was. Prior to the pandemic this place was pretty quiet but honestly, kudos to them, the more the merrier! Although their seemed to be a ton of people a lot of them were getting massages. Every time I was in a room there would only be my partner and maybe one other person. Hugh Spa has six rooms; Jade steam, clay ball, salt, oxygen, magnet and ice room. If you are unfamiliar with Korean spas; here are some tips Before you go, decide whether you are comfortable to be naked in front of others. Or family and friends if you decide to invite them. The first thing you want to do is remove your clothing and put on whatever the spa offers you, it can be a robe or T-shirt and shorts. You must must (yes I said it twice) make sure you shower before going into any of the treatment rooms. I personally don’t wet my hair the first time around, I’ll do it when I have my second and final shower. Ok your clean and in your robe; head to the jacuzzi and relax those muscles then head to the steam room- stay as long as you can. Dry off and make sure you are rehydrating before and after going into another room, there is complementary tea and water near the café. It is suggested you use each room for at least 10-20mins and after each room you want to go into the ice room too cool your body down, I try to stay in at least 15 mins but if you can only do 5 that’s fine, the last 10 mins head into the oxygen room. Do this till you have been in all the rooms. Oh and get a massage, its well worth it. Remember you will be naked if you decide on a wet massage but hot damn, that’s the best massage ever!
