Cebu Grand Spa: A Full Jimjilbang Experience in Cebu

Cebuano lovers of K-Pop, K-Dramas, and basically anything related to the Korean culture are in for a real treat as they can finally have a full jimjilbang experience right here in Cebu. For those who didn’t already know, Jiljilbang is a gender-segregated bathhouse which is usually open 24 hours a day. It features relaxing hot and cold soaking pools, saunas, massage areas, lounges, and sleeping areas which are open to everyone. Although the concept of jimjilbang is not widespread in the Philippines, a lot of Filipinos are familiar with it because it often appears in Korean movies, reality shows, TV serials, and even music videos. Read on to find out how you, too, can have an authentic jimjilbang experience right here in Cebu!






If you want to have a full authentic jimjilbang experience here in Cebu, there’s only one place to go – Cebu Grand Spa. Located in Sitio Dapdap in Soong, Lapu-Lapu City, the spa is only minutes away from the beach resorts, tourist attractions, and other important points of interest in Lapu-Lapu City.

What to Expect

The whole jimjilbang set-up is pretty simple. At the reception area, guests are given spa clothes (shirt and pants), some towels, and a key to a shoe locker where they can deposit their footwear. As soon as the guest leaves this area, he or she will be barefoot in basically all areas within the spa.

After depositing the shoes and the luggage (a luggage deposit counter is also available,) guests then proceed to the main locker room where they can leave their things (hand-carried) and change into the spa clothes they received at the reception. Guests are expected to remove all articles of clothing and deposit them into their lockers before proceeding to the sauna, soaking pools, and shower stalls. Please note that all areas can be accessed by guests (gender-segregated) and showers and soaking pools have no curtains or doors.

Once guests are feeling energized and fresh, they can then change back to their spa clothes and proceed to another area of the spa where they can do a host of activities for pampering, relaxation, and enjoyment.

Things to See and Do

At Cebu Grand Spa, guests are assured of three main things: enjoyment, comfort, and relaxation. And this is exactly why the activities, amenities, and features at Cebu Grand Spa are carefully selected to ensure that guests get the services that they deserve. Check out the different amenities, activities, and services offered at Cebu Grand Spa:
