골드스파사우나Gold Spa Sauna is an authentic traditional Korean sauna (bulhanjeongmak) spanning 1,000 pyeong, located in Geumchon-dong, Paju, Gyeonggi Province. As one of Paju’s leading bathing and sauna facilities, it has been in operation since 2004 and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It operates a traditional fire-heated steam room fueled exclusively by 100% domestically sourced pine firewood, licensed by the Korea Forest Service, and is characterized by heat generated by an actual wood fire rather than an oil boiler. It is equipped with a water management system that combines a special dual-filtration system—the first of its kind in the country—with natural bedrock water, and is designed and maintained directly by a company specializing in sauna construction. Water quality test results are posted in the lobby at all times, and the facility has passed safety inspections by the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, verifying both water quality and facility safety. Inside, the facility features a variety of themed jjimjilbang rooms—including the traditional wood-fired sauna, a yellow clay room, a salt room, and an ice room—as well as separate men’s and women’s saunas, a communal jjimjilbang hall, and a rest area. It also offers amenities such as a restaurant, cafeteria, and snack bar. A kids’ zone equipped with a trampoline and slide makes it ideal for families with children, and everyone—regardless of age or gender—can relax comfortably in their own way, whether on a date with a partner, a family outing, or a solo retreat. Free above-ground and underground parking is available, making it convenient for those arriving by car.
