In the co-ed areas clothing is required, but in the gender-segregated spas and showers everybody’s naked and there’s no privacy. One thing you're required to do at Wi Spa is shower, so you’re clean for everything else. (You’re charged for everything at checkout.) A wave of your wrist key opens your assigned locker, and gets you food and drinks at the restaurant because this is a utopian society, a world without money. When global warming turns Earth into a Venusian hellscape these devices will still work, and cockroaches will use them to enjoy the saunas. The keys are magic, faceless black wristwatches that can withstand long baths, hundreds of degrees of heat, and icy cold. The attendant gives me an electronic wrist key and sends me to the men’s locker room. But I figure this is Wi Spa and I will cross that bridge when we get to it. I worry it’s not something they’ve faced before, and a too-cautious manager might shut the thing down on a whim. It seems fine-they’ll charge me for a second day when I hit the check-out time, and then I’ll just stay. Wi Spa is freedom: I can do what I want, when I want, without worrying about trivialities like time or wearing pants. But what if you stayed there for a day, or a week-or forever? Was there any reason not to?Ī front desk attendant helps me book a body scrub and promises there’s no recommended order to the saunas and tubs.
The spa’s website says that if you do, there’s an official checkout time in the morning, as at a hotel. Wi Spa is also open 24/7, which got me thinking: What if I stopped living in the so-called "real world," and started living where I feel like the best version of myself-at Wi Spa? You can eat and, reportedly, sleep there overnight. I go whenever I’m in Southern California, around ten visits in eight years. Whatever you do, it’s a great place to pass a day. Some people just hang out on the heated floor of a large central room or outside on the roof deck. There are optional extras like body scrubs, massage, and food from a restaurant onsite. It has several floors of saunas and tubs, and for a flat fee of $30 you get all-day access.
Wi Spa, a Korean day spa, is one of the best. You can spend hours there just lying down, in rooms of various temperatures, with breaks to eat and bathe and nap-and then you do it all over again. If heaven on earth exists, it’s in Los Angeles’s Koreatown.
