Metro Atlanta has three Korean spas, all in Gwinnett County northeast of the city. Which one suits you depends mostly on when you want to go. Jeju Sauna in Duluth is the best known and never closes. Spa Land Georgia, also in Duluth, has a co-ed floor of heated rooms but shuts overnight. Gangnam Sauna on Buford Highway in Norcross is the cheapest of the three and also runs around the clock.

Which Atlanta Korean spa is best?
It depends on when you want to go. If you want a late-night or overnight visit, that’s Jeju or Gangnam. If you want the widest spread of specialty rooms and don’t mind being out by midnight midweek, that’s Spa Land. A basic body scrub is $60 everywhere.

Jeju Sauna, Duluth
Jeju Sauna sits at 3555 Gwinnett Pl Dr NW in Duluth. The saunas and bathhouse are open 24/7, including holidays, though the treatment and food services are not available around the clock. Admission is $40 for adults 12 and up, $25 for children 3 to 11 and $30 for seniors 65 and over. There are no appointments: it’s walk-in, first come, first served.
That fee covers the locker rooms, saunas, steam rooms, hydrotherapy pools, baths, lounges and the fitness room. Food, massages and treatments go onto an electronic wristband that stays active for 24 hours, and you settle the balance at reception on the way out. There is no re-entry once you leave, so plan one long visit rather than two short ones. The scrub-and-wash menu starts with a Basic Body Shampoo at $60; Swedish and acupressure massage are $100 each and foot reflexology is $70.
Jeju publishes the strictest house rules of the three. The gender-separated bathing areas require full nudity, you change into a provided spa uniform for the shared areas, and the building is shoe-free. Bring a physical government-issued photo ID from any state or country, since paper copies are refused and the alternative is a $100 cash deposit.
Spa Land Georgia, Duluth
Spa Land Georgia is at 2645 N Berkeley Lake Rd NW, Building C, in Duluth. It has separate men’s and women’s floors with hot and cold tubs, steam and dry saunas, treatment stations and showers, plus a co-ed floor of specialty mineral saunas. Daily admission is $38 for ages 12 to 64 and $28 for children 2 to 11 and for seniors 65 and over.
The catch for night owls: this one is not 24-hour. It runs 9 AM to midnight Monday through Thursday and 9 AM to 2 AM Friday through Sunday and holidays, using the closed hours for deep cleaning. Scrubs run 9 AM to 9:30 PM daily, massage from 10 AM, and the basic scrub is $60 for 30 minutes for both women and men, with an optional hair wash included. Treatments are walk-in.
Gangnam Sauna, Norcross
Gangnam Sauna is at 6005 Buford Hwy in Norcross, on the old Buford Highway corridor, and has operated there since 2013. It is open 24/7, with general admission $30 at the front desk, $20 for seniors and $15 for children; children under 4 are not admitted. There are clay, salt, jade and dry saunas, a steam room, hot and cold tubs, a fitness room and a Korean restaurant with a full menu.
Skin care starts with Basic Exfoliation at $60 for 30 minutes, which includes full-body dead skin removal plus a body and scalp shampoo, and packages run up to $190 for two hours. The house guidance on the rooms is sensible and worth following: 10 to 20 minutes in each heated room, 20 to 30 minutes in the tubs.
Your first visit, in three lines
Shower before you get into any pool. Nude in the gender-separated wet areas, which is the norm at a jjimjilbang and the published rule at Jeju. Spa uniform in the co-ed rooms, where everyone is dressed and nobody is bothered.
At Spa Land and Gangnam, expect the same routine and ask at the desk if unsure. None of the three publishes a tattoo rule. If you’re unsure about anything, the front desk has had this conversation a thousand times.
Why they’re all out in Gwinnett County
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in February 2025 that the center of the region’s Korean community has moved from Buford Highway in Doraville to Duluth, and that the Korean traditional spas are part of the Gwinnett Place cluster that is now the heart of Atlanta’s Koreatown. Gwinnett County says it is home to nearly 30,000 Korean American residents, and all three spas sit about 20 to 25 miles northeast of downtown along I-85.
If you’d rather stay in town
Options inside the city are small and private rather than social. Do Not Disturb on Ponce de Leon Avenue has a private contrast room with a dry sauna, cold plunge and shower, plus shorter sauna sessions. beem Light Sauna Glenwood on Bill Kennedy Way is a private infrared studio, which is a different thing from a hot room with steam.
Our research found no public Finnish-style social sauna operating in Atlanta: no communal hot room with a cold plunge and a bench full of strangers. The Korean spas in Gwinnett are the closest thing in the metro area to a full hot-and-cold circuit. Comparing cities before a trip? Start with the Korean spas in Los Angeles.
Common questions
What is the best Korean spa in Atlanta?
Jeju Sauna in Duluth is the best known and the easiest first visit, at $40 with saunas and baths open 24/7. Spa Land Georgia, also in Duluth, has the widest spread of specialty rooms for $38 but closes overnight. Gangnam Sauna in Norcross is the cheapest at $30 and also open around the clock.
Which Atlanta Korean spa is open 24 hours?
Two of them. Jeju Sauna’s saunas and bathhouse run 24/7, including holidays, and Gangnam Sauna is open 24/7 as well. Spa Land Georgia is not: 9 AM to midnight Monday to Thursday, 9 AM to 2 AM Friday to Sunday and holidays, with the closed hours used for deep cleaning.
Do you have to be naked at Jeju Sauna?
In the gender-separated bathing areas, yes. Jeju’s own guidance states that those areas require full nudity, and you shower before entering any tub. In the shared co-ed areas you wear the spa uniform you’re given at check-in, and the pool requires a swimsuit you bring yourself.
How much is a Korean body scrub in Atlanta?
$60 for the basic version at all three spas: 30 minutes at Spa Land Georgia and at Gangnam Sauna, and $60 for Jeju Sauna’s Basic Body Shampoo, which doesn’t list a length. Longer packages with masks or aroma treatments run $100 to $190. Admission is separate at Jeju, and probably at the other two, so ask when you pay.
Do you need a reservation?
No. Jeju Sauna describes itself as a no-appointment facility, first come, first served. Spa Land’s treatments are walk-in on the same basis. At Gangnam, ask at the front desk.
