Sisu House

Sisu House is a private Finnish sauna in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, a ritual house in the middle of the city combining aroma touch work with Finnish sauna heat. The concept is to wake up dulled senses through precisely designed heat, delicate scent and deep breathing, and the equipment is Finnish HARVIA. Six independent rooms with separated circulation mean guests do not cross paths, and sessions follow a four-step ritual. It opens in the touch zone, where a therapist works on scalp and neck circulation with aroma breathing, then to the salt bar, a warm soak with an organic herb and magnesium salt pouch, then the private sauna, and ends with chilled towels and an ice fountain. Sauna temperature is adjusted per session within about 70–90°C, and bath salt, a sauna hat, a gown and a ginger shot are provided. There is no cold plunge pool; cooling is by cold shower, and on request the water can go as low as 12°C. Programs run ₩75,000 to ₩109,000, split between a spa-only course built around 90 minutes of sauna and a recovery course adding a 20-minute treatment before 70 minutes of sauna. Three-month memberships are offered. The house closes at 22:00, and booking is limited to one guest or two of the same gender; couples cannot book together. There is no on-site parking; valet is ₩5,000.
