Description

Even though it’s located outside of the five boroughs, this epic outdoor spa is situated just across the river in New Jersey and worth the trek. SoJo Spa Club is a Korean bathhouse that spans four floors and is more like a relaxation amusement park than a standard spa. In addition to the standard scrubs, massages, saunas, and baths you’d find available at a standard bathhouse, the spa offers eight different outdoor baths and spa experiences. An infinity pool with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline on the rooftop is the spa’s crown jewel, but the space also has options with added benefits like a silk bath with Japanese white ionization technology meant to improve skin elasticity and a carbon-rich bath meant to increase blood oxygen levels and improve circulation. A day pass starting at $85 during the week and $100 on weekends grants you access to all the outdoor options, plus the indoor baths, saunas, and other amenities, but treatments must be booked for an additional fee and are subject to availability based on COVID-19 restrictions. Located between the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln Tunnel, SoJo Spa Club is a quick drive from Manhattan and is also accessible via NJ Transit—or you can book a stay in the spa’s adjoining hotel to make it a full-on weekend getaway.
