Healing Therapy in Southwest Seoul: Time to Truly Rest
— Magok, Gayang, Deungchon, Hwagok, Banghwa and Balsan
When people look for healing therapy in southwest Seoul, what they usually want is not a particular technique but an hour or two of rest without having to think about anything. So this guide focuses less on the programmes and more on shaping that rest time around you: whether to talk or not, how dim the room should be, which course suits the day, and how to spend the 30 minutes afterwards. Choosing a scent is covered in our aromatherapy guide, and course structure in the oil therapy guide.
How Fiorael prepares a healing session
The programme most guests choose for this is Fiore Relax Body Therapy: a relaxing full-body care with warmed oil and smooth, pressure-free strokes, so there is very little you need to do or pay attention to. Every session takes place in a private one-to-one room, and we space out bookings so you rarely cross paths with other guests.
The same programme can feel very different depending on the room. That is why we ask about conversation, lighting, temperature and music as carefully as about the care itself. First-time guests often do not know what they are allowed to ask for, so we have listed it below.
Four ways to set up your rest
A single line when booking is enough, or you can tell us once you are in the room. There is no extra charge.
| Setting | What you can ask | How we adjust |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation | "I'd like to rest without talking" | We check only what we need at the start, then continue in quiet |
| Lighting | "A little darker, please" | We lower the indirect lighting to a level that is easy on the eyes |
| Temperature | "I get cold easily" | We warm the room and the heated bed in advance and add an extra blanket |
| Music | "Almost no sound" | We turn the soft instrumental music down or off |
You can change any of these during the session. We note your preferences and have the room ready the same way on your next visit.
Choosing a course for the day
| If today is… | Guests often choose |
|---|---|
| A weekday evening after work | Fiore Relax Body Therapy, 70 minutes |
| A weekend with time to spare | Fiore Relax Body Therapy, 100 minutes |
| A day of long hours at a desk | Mineral Body Care — a 70-minute programme combining marine mineral ingredients with warm-wave device care |
| A day to rest properly, all at once | Signature Mineral Body Care — Mineral Body Care plus hands-on care, 100 minutes |
Many first-time guests start with 70 minutes and extend on their next visit. Current prices are shared when you book.
When to come
Fiorael is open every day from 10:00 to 02:00. Each part of the day has a slightly different feel.
- Weekday daytime — easier to get the time you want
- Weekday 7–10 pm — our busiest slot; please book a few days ahead
- After 11 pm — popular with guests who want to rest and head straight home; last booking is 01:00
- Weekend afternoons — many guests choose the 100-minute course
💡 Tip. Lying face down is more comfortable about an hour after a meal rather than straight after. If you are pregnant or have been given any precautions by your doctor, please let us know when booking.
The 30 minutes afterwards
It helps to plan so the rest does not end the moment the session does. Rushing to get dressed and leave tends to scatter that calm feeling quickly.
- You are welcome to stay lying down for a minute or two once the session ends
- We serve a warm cup of tea — take your time with it
- The shower and powder room have a hair dryer, cleansing pads and toothbrush sets
- If you drove, we suggest sitting for a while before setting off
If you have plans afterwards, add 20 to 30 minutes to your booking for showering and getting ready.

Most guests looking for healing therapy in Magok-dong simply walk over. Weekday evenings fill up with people coming after work, so book ahead if you have a time in mind.
Balsan-dong, Seoul
From Balsan Station it is one stop on Line 5, so even a late booking leaves you close to home.

From Gayang Station it is two stops on Line 9 to Magoknaru, no transfer needed. Some guests book the 100-minute course on a relaxed weekend afternoon.
Deungchon-dong, Seoul
Deungchon Station is four stops away on Line 9. If you drive, the free building parking makes it easy even when you are carrying bags.

Frequently asked questions
Q. Is healing therapy a separate programme?
Not as a named programme. When we recommend Fiore Relax Body Therapy or Mineral Body Care with the focus on rest, we call it healing therapy.
Q. Can I really stay silent the whole time?
Yes. We check only what is necessary at the start, such as areas to avoid and pressure preference, and then continue in quiet.
Q. Is it all right to fall asleep?
Of course. Many guests do. We will wake you gently near the end.
Q. Will it feel awkward coming alone?
Most guests come alone. The rooms are private and we arrange bookings so paths rarely cross.
Q. Do you take male guests?
It depends on the programme, so please ask when booking and we will let you know the available times.
