The holidays are coming, and the litany of festivities, travel plans, and to-do lists can be daunting. Time to take a preemptive strike against holiday stress with a spalicious day at the spa, getting soaked, pampered and scrubbed! The Mansfield is near some of the best Korean spas in the US. Korean spas generally offer all the same treatments as their western counterparts, but the entry fee is often lower and many facilities are open 24 hours a day. Most Korean spas provide basic amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and body lotion, but if you want to bring your own products, feel free. At most spas, people go barefoot, but you're welcome to bring a pair of flip-flops. A word to the body-wary, the gender segregated saunas and tubs are strictly clothing not optional.

Split on two levels separating men and women’s facilities, this urban oasis lures you into a zen vibe complete with Buddhist motifs, soothing man-made rock waterfall, lush orchid ornamentation, and a huge satori-inducing soaking pool.

Olympic Spa 3915 W Olympic Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90019

You lower yourself into a pool infused with warm minerals and then your skin settles into softness. Now you are ready for a stress relieving massage and body scrub to take you to another world. Olynpic Spa uses only the most natural and therapeutic products in their treatments and spa facilities.
