Extraordinary Services Equivalent to High-End Hotel Spas

Therapy & Spa Sobe is Jeolla-do’s first high-end hotel-type spa. This premium facility only uses the finest European brand products to provide total services from massage to skin and body care to pre- and post-natal care.

Carefully Structured programs

People in this busy contemporary society experience a lot of stress and fatigue. Since it is difficult to find a proper place of relaxation, they often have a desire for a healing spot that can help them take a good rest. Spa is a must-visit place for contemporary people who wish to relieve the fatigue of the day, relax their body, and find inner calm. Just by relaxing the body parts with poor circulation or tight muscles, your body and mind would feel lighter. Clean and pleasant facilities and attentive care services are crucial to making a spa a good place to recharge yourself. Until now, it was not easy to find a spa with premium facilities in Jeolla-do. Therapy & Spa Sobe is the largest spa in this region. Equipped with high-end facilities including a cultural and artistic complex, it uses only the best products to offer the premium care services often available at a hotel spa.

The beauty of the spa is revealed in the consultation process. While drinking soothing herbal tea such as winter dream, red berry, lemon sky, peppermint and rooibos vanilla, guests discuss their condition, living habits, quality of sleep, body type, and desired treatment results. To ensure the best results, a professionally and systematically trained therapist recommends a program based on the results of the consultation. There are 55 programs in 11 categories including skin improvement, La Stone therapy, hydro-vichy, holism well-aging and sliming. The signature programs include the text neck care that relieves pain from turtle neck syndrome, whole body that helps relax the body and lower stress and hydro-vichy.

Next, neck care uses bamboo tree to relax the tense muscles at unreachable spots to increase the mobility of neck joint. The intensity is adjusted to provide different stimulation without causing pain. The whole body program massages the whole body and starts with a foot bath. Aroma oil is diluted in warm water. Guests soak their feet in the water and rest for 10 minutes, which helps with blood circulation and relaxes the body to increase the effects of the care. The whole body program that starts out with a foot bath lasts for one hour and forty minutes. The aroma sole scrub uses hydro-vichy to apply the scrub product on the entire body and applies water pressure to help the body relax. Steam and far infrared ray is continuously sprayed and LED ray provides color therapy. Music therapy comforts the mind with gentle sounds from nature.

Stepping into the spa, you feel like giving yourself a gift. The luxurious space feel warm thanks to the soft and subtle lighting. The structure consisting of the lobby, solium, head spa room, seven spa rooms, mom’s room, yoga room and spa cuisine feels like a deep and cozy maze. In the middle of the streamlined corridor is an s-shaped resting space. The spa cuisine at the inner most space consists of three large round tubs lined up in front of the foot bath. The water therapy space that feels like a party room is a place for receiving spa care and enjoying a gathering. Two of the seven spa rooms are for couples.

Once you soak in the hydro massage bathtub in a private room, spa therapy using water pressure and air bubbles begins. As it creates bubbles, your stiff muscles will be slowly relaxed. You will feel as if all the waste were washed away from you body. Flamingo, a large capsule-shaped spa device used for Hydro-Vishy, is a state-of-the-art spa system for adjusting water temperature and pressure. The LED light from Flamingo is a special light called “Color Therapy” designed to improve your skin’s elasticity by facilitating blood circulation as well as cleansing and detoxifying your body. “LaStone Treatment,” which applies the principles of thermotherapy, is also eye-catchingly unique. LaStone is a type of therapy that uses the natural energy of “basalt” from the desert of Arizona, USA and “marble stones” from the Himalayan ice cap. Basalt massage can relieve your tight muscles more easily while marble stone therapy can relieve pain and improve skin elasticity. Since LaStone Treatment is a high-end type of therapy, only highly qualified therapists can perform it even at Therapy & Spa Sobe. LaStone Treatment is recommended if you need special care or you often experience muscle stiffness and pain.

Therapy & Spa Sobe uses luxurious brand products that all spa lovers enjoy including Mary Cohr, Talion, Vrelain, Anubis and Biologique Recherche. As soon as you step inside Therapy & Spa Sobe equipped with high-end services and facilities, you will be treated like a queen.
