Opening little over a year ago, the city’s newest branch of Sense is doing ‘affordable luxury’ like it’s going out of fashion. Using water from Umi Jigoku Onsen in Japan’s hot spring capital, Beppu, the mineral rich baths in the four private onsen rooms are infused with calcium, magnesium and sulphur.
This classy spa is one of the few on our list that is a real onsen, thanks to its mineral water. It is sleek in design, with a serene soundscape, gentle lighting and a fragrance that should be bottled – all colliding to make these baths the fanciest in town.
Prices are also very reasonable, and a session here is worth it for the privacy and moments of pure chill alone. The lovely team say it’s best to call them to reserve, either the day before you plan to bathe or in the morning if you want to visit that evening: they’re open until 11pm daily, with last entry at 10pm.
8, 1 Suan Dok Road, Suthep. B450 for one hour private onsen bath. Bookings via 081 884 4460 or online, 11am-11pm.
