Island Spa & Sauna in Edison

I was hesitant to visit because there are a lot of “Karen” views on here. I’m glad I followed my gut and went anyways I spent 8 hours there and feel like a new person after a long year. Ignore the negative reviews and GO TREAT YOURSELF! I enjoy the concept of traditional korean bathhouses the community aspect and the respect for silence and self care. I appreciated that there were many asians here, while still having some western vibes and visitors. I always think if a person from that culture isn’t a customer there then it’s not a quality service. This is definitely a quality spa. I can’t wait to go back. I brought my own korean scrub cloth to scrub down after the sauna and spa, bought them in bulk on amazon awhile ago but they also have them for purchase. I brought my own big water bottle in and face mask in and it was no problem. I’ve been having a lot of skin issues both facial and body after moving from the high humidity of florida back to the dry northeast winter. My skin is glowing after 8 hours here and putting my korean skin care on at the end of the day here felt wayyyyy more effective. And Jollibee 8 minutes down the road for dinner after you leave? Can’t beat it. Had a full asian invasion day and loved it. Addressing negative reviews: I enjoy nude beaches both in the states and internationally so the nudity was no problem for me it was very relaxing. I also didn’t realize how much we don’t see natural bodies anymore. As someone who was in middle school when IG came out it was refreshing to see natural bodies of all ages and cultures instead of the fake nonsense we are shown on social media and in the entertainment industry. I will say while I consider myself sexually fluid and open, the idea of seeing male anatomy on the women’s side was less relaxing but thankfully I did not experience that. I understand access to bathroom and locker rooms but in a spa atmosphere where you are naked for an extend period of time to me the optics are just different. I would say even if you are new to nudity there were women of all levels of comfortability there. Some like me walking around and laying nude and others who wore their towels from each location and while relaxing. So whatever your preference is you should feel welcomed. I didn’t experience any issues with phone use. I found it nice to be without my phone and around women. There were much more natural conversations and atmosphere without phones present. It was really refreshing. As far as noise I went at 12pm and it was pretty loud with groups of friends who had come together as the evening rolled around at 6pm everyone was more silent and had come alone obviously winding down for bed. I enjoyed both atmospheres. It was nice to chat with other women earlier in the day and then collectively relax later. Went on a weekday and it was still moderately crowded, not sure I would enjoy a weekend that was busier. The common area is louder as noise carriers from the juice bar and restaurant on either side. I got ramen and a smoothie and they were both well portioned for price and really good. I thought the temperatures of everything was spot on. The hot tubs hot and the cold plunge cold. Everything was spotless especially the floors even though I brought socks it was very clean. I fell asleep on the chairs before realizing there was a whole sleeping room so definitely check that out for a nap if you are spending the day. I found the attendants to be very kind, respectful, and helpful. You get treated how you treat others so I’ll just say that. They were very helpful with all my questions. The one took all this time to schedule a service for me and then let me cancel an hour before because I decided I couldn’t stay that late. A++++ to all the young ladies who were working the women’s bath house yesterday. They stay on top of the chemicals as well. I am a certified pool operator and all the water quality was perfect. No funkiness and they treated and closed all of them for a few minutes in the evening to ensure water quality. I really appreciated that.

**Update: I got a facial massage, and it was one of the best feelings ever! The staff was super professional and was making sure if i was comfortable during the session. We visited during the weekend and had an excellent experience. The venue felt luxurious, looked very clean, and had friendly staff. You’ll find gender-segregated areas for bathing. Here, the custom is to shower before dipping into the array of hot and cold pools that'll help relax and loosen your body before heading into an array of different temperature hot saunas. Moreover, this spa complements the traditional aspects with a variety of modern amenities, such as entertainment lounges, relaxation areas, and an array of dining options that allow you to savor Korean culinary delights. The family-friendly atmosphere makes it an accessible retreat for all ages, and the reasonable entry fee means you can enjoy everything on offer without haste.

This place is awesome, from the saunas to the hot tubs to the massages to the food court. They have different types of warm and hot saunas like the rock 🪨, salt 🧂, Ice 🧊, etc.. to your liking inside of Igloo's that's spaced out throughout …

My visit on Sunday July 28 was the most relaxing and enjoyable. It was family day in the spa. Many kids with parents were there and made the ambiance of the place even more pleasant . The power of their smiles warmed up my heart and brought …

One of my favorite places in Jersey hands down! This spa is amazing! If you just want to get away for a bit and recharge and relax, this is it. There are multiple places in here that you can just sit back and unwind. It really is a place of …

I love it here, could spend 8 hours easily. It’s super clean, super comfortable and the food is yummy! I always get a deep tissue and foot massage, next time I will be trying a body scrub too! Just purchased a 10 visit package and I’m sure it’ll be worth every penny.

Okay, I can't say I'm a spa queen, however I have had my share of spa experiences and I've been to one other Korean spa with this concept. Island Spa and Sauna hits high marks in every category. I spent my birthday there so was really …

Better than I have expected. I grew up going to natural springs as well as some man made springs, I didn’t really have a good expectation on Spa and Sauna, but it was quite good. Water was clean and hot, as well as the saunas. And it being only less than an hour from where I live it is quite worth it. I thought that I would just go in the water and just be done, which is why I really like that they added a chilling area so I can relax and probably go back in to the spa.

Its a great spa! Just keep in mind that any type of jacuzzi, pool are gender separated which i did not read and was expecting to have a little time with my boyfriend there, anyways, i love the ramen and saunas there, you can buy face masks for skincare and get special treatments, food there is amazing.

I decided to have the 60 min Korean Body Scrub and it was fantastic. I did some research beforehand and the assistants in the bath house answered my question but there were still some knowledge gaps. If they have a sign giving advise on what to do and in what order,I missed it. If this is not available perhaps it's something they should consider. I was copying what other guests were doing at some moments because there was no one to ask. I will definitely be back!

Clean and spacious facility with lots of bath, sauna, and treatment options. I felt very comfortable in the nude bath area. It was fairly busy but it never felt overwhelming with people. Could always find a spot to relax in the lounge areas. Food was delicious (dumplings and sushi bowl). I also had a massage which was very similar to those I’ve had in Asia before. Staff were all kind and helpful. I think this is a wonderful spa/bathhouse for really affordable pricing and would much rather go here than trek up to Sojo or NYC. Can’t wait to bring my friends and family here.

My husband and I visited for our wedding anniversary, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff at the front desk were incredibly polite and welcoming. I had actually made a mistake with my booking, but the receptionist quickly corrected it with no issues at all. She also took the time to explain everything in detail, including the different admission options, which made us feel very comfortable. We booked the Cleansing Package (30-minute Korean body scrub and 60-minute hot stone massage), and it was absolutely amazing—so relaxing and rejuvenating. We also tried all of the dry saunas, which each had their own unique atmosphere, and they were incredibly soothing. We decided to try the bath house as well. I’ll admit I was a little nervous at first since it’s a nude experience (separated by gender), but it turned out to be much more comfortable than I expected. The facilities were spotless, and every employee we encountered was kind and professional. Overall, it was such a relaxing, enjoyable anniversary experience. We would absolutely recommend this spa to anyone looking to unwind, recharge, and enjoy something truly special.

Five stars because the staff was friendly and my massage was great. I would definitely be coming back and will try the cafe next time as the menu looks appetizing. Notes for management: Please allow bathing suits as I would love to bring my friends here, but there’s no way we’re getting naked in front of each other. I have deep respect for other cultures and understand this is a tradition, but it would be helpful if bathing suits were at least optional. Not everyone is comfortable getting naked in front of strangers, friends and/or family. When you book a massage online, the site does not alert you about the admission fee that you need to pay on top of your service. This should be more transparent and total amount should show before you book. The booking requires a credit card, so transparency is important as your card will get charged if you cancel. Lastly, other spas offer a free 1-2hr admission for clients who book a service.

I haven’t had a proper day off/self care day in a while, so I decided to treat myself for a few hours at Island spa and Sauna. Best decision ever. I’ve tried a few different spas, but Island has to be my favorite. It’s close to my house, very clean, respectful, and serene. There’s nothing like soaking in various hot tub after a long day. And for the first time, I got the extended body scrub. The price was very reasonable, and it was worth every single dollar. I felt so taken care of. My ajuma has gifted hands for sure.

Super relaxing environment. Enjoyed smoothie bar and restaurant. Wasn't too crowded...was able to get into sauna or comfortable chair when I wanted. Steam room was refreshing. Whole place was very clean. People constantly dusting too keep it pristine. Would recommend.

Went for the first time last week. Drove nearly three hours after a long week of work and it was an anniversary sale going on. As someone who has only ever been to king spa this was totally different. I spent my entire time going from …
