What’s the difference between a bathhouse and a spa?
Bathhouses are communal spaces with a focus on traditional public bathing practices. Visitors can enjoy steam baths, saunas, and shared pools, emphasizing social interaction and collective relaxation. In contrast, spas often focus on individual pampering and personalized treatments. Facilities vary depending on the venue but traditionally include a pool and some sort of thermal experience, whether this is a jacuzzi, sauna or steam room. Spa treatments are designed to help enhance the relaxation and will include anything from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures.
