WORLD SPA

I went today with my friend and we had an amazing experience. Specially aa soon as we walked in to check in we were greater and helped by Paola, she was very nice, explain all clearly and guide us since it was our first time at World Spa. Paola answered all our question and made the check in process very smooth. The only thing we didn't like was the fact that the gratuity is 20% for each service even if its one whole bill for both of us, they charge the 20% separate and by each person. So it was 20% restaurant, 20% for each massage and it was only one bill. Other than that it was great.

My experience at World Spa has been nothing short of exceptional. It’s a calming oasis right in the heart of Brooklyn, with every amenity thoughtfully designed and well maintained. I’ve visited twice — first for my birthday and again to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. It was her very first spa experience, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Thanks to World Spa, the spa scene has gained a brand-new fan! What truly elevates the experience, though, is the staff. Carol at the concierge desk welcomed me so warmly and sincerely both visits — she’s an absolute gem. Marcus and Zana at the restaurant were fantastic, attentive and kind. And I have to give a special shoutout to the lifeguard who supported me through my first cold plunge — talk about encouragement when you need it most! I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!!

The “House of Luck” (Villa Mabrouka), was once the sea side summer residence of Yves Saint Laurent in Tangier Morocco. It is majestic & immaculately beautiful, yet the Moroccan Hamam (steam room) at World Spa (1571 McDonald Ave Brooklyn NY) is far more pleasing than the Hammam at Villa Mabrouka. The filigree wall sconce at the entrance of the Moroccan Hammam is a fine example of Moroccan art. So, is the World Spa, a Moroccan Spa ? The answer is no, it is a World Spa. It has something from everywhere. It is a collection of the finest. World Spa also has (amongst other things) a better Turkish Hammam than you will find in Turkey. Everything at World Spa is just better. The build quality & stone/ tile work of both Hammams mentioned above are exceptional. The whole Spa is a superior work of a talented designer. Those who like Sojo Spa in Edgewater NJ, might like this better. Even the layout is better. Those who are fans of Russian / Ukrainian Sauna (Banya), will like the Banya at World Spa more. They have two, and both extremely clean(who knew Banya come in a clean version too 😊). The ice cold dip by the Banya is spacious and just better. This is the hands down the best Banya in the NY/NJ/CT area. Likewise the Clay/Hay Sauna. Ditto the Aroma room. Even the Snow Room in the dead of winter is alluring. There is so much more. The dining at the Spa is very good and so well organized. But the best thing at the World Spa (something that is rare), is the Event Sauna room. I attended two group events (included in the entrance fee). Aufguss (rooted in European Spa traditions) and Herbal Steam Ritual. As it is the facility at World Spa is magnificent, but the events take it to another level. World Spa is a spa that a wonderful city like NY deserves. It is far from where I live, but they have an attached parking garage (paid parking). Long drive but worth it. Sorry could not add photos because they don’t allow cameras inside.

The spa is perfect for a winter escape. I relaxed in the salt room, warmed up in the saunas, sweat in the Turkish room and then end the day in the snow room. I can't handle the cold plunge. There was plenty of healthy and hearty food options. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was my niece's first time at a spa and she loved the warm pool. Bring your water bottle. It's necessary after coming out of the sauna. Even though one floor is open to all it still felt spacious but it was a Tuesday.

All the stars to this gem! Will comeback for sure This spa is big and comfortable, with very reasonable prices for services and special passes. The breakfast pass was an absolute steal. I don’t know what I was expecting but it was beyond that. Showed up at opening time so we will have enough time to enjoy the amenities before it gets crowded and to be honest even tho it did get crowded it didn’t feel like that, even tho it was on a Sunday. The pools are clean and at the perfect temperature to relax. The diversity of the sauna rooms was outstanding. I particularly gravitated more towards the dry banya, specially the aroma and clay ones. Took the best nap in the relaxation room. And got to experience the Venik event that happens every 1-2 hours. The snow room was the most pleasant surprise ever, the temperature felt perfect. If you want to go full Slavic don’t forget the cold plunge. The food was very diverse and super good, I was really surprised by the lobster soup. The drinks were amazing and fairly priced. Definitely a place where you can spend the whole day at!
