Allyu Spa
Allyu Spa
It’s easy to recharge amid Allyu’s gorgeous interiors, built from sustainable materials such as mesquite and cork floors and reclaimed barnwood. Following your blended chakra-balancing-and-massage treatment, relax in the spa’s central space, which was designed to mimic the shape of the Andean symbol for balance. You’ll reach a level of serenity that’s only a few notches below zero new messages in your inbox.
600 W. Chicago Ave.; 312-755-1313 or allyuspa.com
King Spa Sauna
King Spa
Beyond the women-only hot and cold pools, there’s a coed space with far infrared saunas, a salt room, an ice room and a hot fire sudatorium heated to about 170 degrees. Oh, and if that isn’t enough options, there’s a food court with a full menu of Korean fare.
809 Civic Center Dr., Niles; 847-972-2540 or kingspa.com
Exhale Spa
Exhale Spa
