I have been racking my mind for a birthday gift (for a girl) and I want to give an all day/half day voucher for a massage, facial, pedicure etc type thing, followed by a nice meal out (I was thinking Zelen Bulgarian restaurant in Itaewon, unless anyone has a better idea (I really am terrible at this type of stuff)).

Does anybody know a nice spa type place in seoul that does that type of thing? plus what type of damage I am looking at?

edit renamed as people are using for general massage info

Green Turtle (above Itaewon Quiznos) does these things. Prices? Idk. Western salon prices, I believe.

I had heard of green turtle but I was hoping for more of a spa type environment. Green turtle is more of a beauty salon right?

You could check out the Dragon Hill spa/hotel, Yongsan.

Looks good but not sure what treatments they have.

Don't know about massages or pedicures, but I can help you out with the facial.

isn't it the middle of the night there?

I had a vague memory of Kumarakitty reccommending some spa place, and nothing better to do for a couple of minutes, so here you go:

Should really change my location.

The link seems to be dead, I will pm Kumarakitty direct (hopefully she won't think I am to much of a freak asking about massages out of the blue Laughing )

cheers for your help

If my boyfriend ever felt like treating me to a spa day..... Shocked then this is the place I'd love to go....

Followed by dinner and a room in the hotel of course....

Would probably have to win the lottery or rob a bank first like but you know, whatever it takes.

Speaking of massages, does anyone know a place in Daegu where one can get a massage?

Looks perfect, apart from the price, anybody knows of any place similar that will not kill the bank
