The Best Spa in North America Was Hiding in Brooklyn All Along

Updated: Nov 3, 2025


The World Spa Awards named WORLD SPA Brooklyn North America’s Best Day Spa 2025, giving New York’s borough a global headline. The 50,000-square-foot space turns hydrotherapy into an international experience—Russian banya, Turkish hammam, Japanese onsen—all within subway reach.


The layout is functional: clean stone, open pools, subdued lighting. Instead of spa theatrics, there’s precision—cold plunge, salt steam, aromatherapy, massage. The environment supports downtime without selling it.


For residents and travelers alike, the location makes wellness practical, not aspirational.
