If you've already tried local saunas to relieve fatigue but found the results fruitless, come to Changnyeong County in Gyeongnam, where the hot spring Bugok Hawaii is just the place for you.

The five-star hotel comprised of 200 rooms, indoor and outdoor pools that reach 78 degrees Celsius (172 degrees Fahrenheit all year-round, massage rooms and refreshing dining areas will have you feel like you've stepped into paradise.

Built in 1979, Bugok Hawaii is equipped with a hot spring, water park, zoo and garden among others. There's also a theme park and taxidermy museum.

Enjoy a tour around the outdoor hot spring, where there are a valley, open-air pool, sauna and rest areas. Especially at the open-air pool, an artificial valley paired with scores of trees create a scene of authentic beauty. A dip in the pool will surely release a year's worth of stress.

If you're wondering why you should make the long drive to the hot spring when you have a sauna located at the corner of your neighborhood, here's your answer: Hot springs are effective for muscle aches and blood circulation. The germanium sauna, in particular, is effective for kidney functioning, age prevention and skin care.

The indoor hot spring is flanked with rugged natural rocks and tropical plants. The "jungle" is subdivided into several zones like the red clay sauna, pearl spa, infrared light cave sauna and the cave hot spring. Among these options, the cave hot spring is most popular among tourists due to its distinctive view.

For the children, there's always the indoor water park, comprised of a children's pool and slides. Facilities are open for adults as well.
