The best saunas in Los Angeles & Orange County
Last reviewed October 2026
At Beverly Wellness Hot Springs, warm mineral water rises from an artesian well into a stone grotto pool. The cold plunge is right beside it. Korean bathhouses like this one run from Koreatown out to Gardena and Hacienda Heights, built for a long day in hot and cold water.
#1 · Wi Spa
Jjimjilbang at Wilshire and Rampart · Los Angeles
A visit splits in two. Bathing on the men's and women's floors is nude, with hot and cold baths and dry and steam saunas. Then you put on the house shirt and shorts and cross into the co-ed jjimjilbang, where the bulgama, salt, clay, jade and ice rooms wait.

#2 · Beverly Wellness Hot Springs
Grotto pool over an artesian well · Los Angeles
Women and men bathe in separate sections on North Oxford Avenue, and nudity is optional. The warm grotto pool sits next to a cold plunge, a eucalyptus steam room and a dry sauna, with Korean body scrubs booked on top. Before the rename, it was Beverly Hot Springs.

#5 · Nosta Sauna Lounge
Helo heaters over vulcanite stones · Mission Viejo
You book a private Finnish room for 40 minutes. A Helo heater warms the vulcanite stones, and you set the temperature and pour your own löyly, or switch to the gentler steam setting. One room can run as infrared instead, and a stocked shower is waiting at the end.

#7 · ReVibe Sauna & Cold Plunge
Your own room, sauna and plunge · Costa Mesa
Each booking at this West 17th Street studio gets a room of its own, with a Clearlight infrared sauna and a cold plunge tub. The whole contrast cycle happens behind one closed door, at whatever pace you set. Towels are provided, but there is no shower, so plan to shower at home.
