Korean-Inspired Body Scrub & Hydrotherapy in Richmond, VA

In Korean bathhouse tradition, the body scrub is a reset — an unhurried ritual of warm water, exfoliation and care that leaves skin impossibly soft and the mind entirely quiet. At AURA, we have honored that tradition in our private Couples Suite, adapted for two.

The ritual begins with a private hydro soak: a deep, mineral-warm immersion that softens the skin and slows the breath. Next comes our proprietary salt and sugar exfoliation, applied with practiced, even strokes to refine and slough away the season. A personalized Swedish massage follows, and body butter seals in softness from shoulders to toes.

The finale is a restorative sound-bowl meditation — resonant tones that wash over the suite and settle the nervous system. Guests leave with skin polished, posture unwound and an unmistakable glow.

Choose a beverage to accompany your ritual, from AVEDA herbal tea to champagne. It has become one of Richmond’s most requested experiences — reserve early, as the Couples Suite books out on weekends.
