Spa on air is located at B1 (basement of the ICN terminal 1). You can take the escalator or elevator down. Pending on your available time and needs, they have different pricing which is nice. Say 10k W for just shower and hot tub for 2 hours. Day time 6 or 12 hours: 20k w for 6 hours with towels and sauna clothing, 25k w for 12 hours. Night time 20:00 to 08:00- 6 hours 30k w and 12 hours 35k w. Or you can just pay the cheapest for a quick shower with different pricing. If you choose the spa, they include 1 luggage storage. Additional at 5000w per piece.
Men side has 3 hot tubs; Women side has 4 hot tubs with shower, shampoo and body wash, etc. REST AREA is co Ed. Thus, need to change into the sauna clothings. Here are the steps: Go to counter. Choose your menu and pay.
If you do the spa. They will give you towels, sauna clothing set. Assigned locker wrist band key for lockers and card key (to access the rest and sleep area)
Remove your shoes and bring in to your gender change room. First use your key to open the small locker to store your shoes. Then proceed to the change room area. Change and store your stuff to the locker. With the same key matching the assigned locker no.
If you have luggage for storage, they will store one piece (included) to the side room of the reception and give you a luggage tag (for reclaim later) Go to the shower area and get clean up before using the hot tub. Use the shower to cool down if needed.
Then dry up and change to sauna clothing to use the card key to access the rest, sauna and sleep area.
Rest area has sleeping mat (thin ones) and some rectangular foam pillow. No blanket and temperature is nice and you can still sleep and rest up before leaving.
2 Sauna rooms. One at 41F one at 71 F. Vending machine in rest area and some magazines. But most people just rest and sleep at the mats. Not much talking. There about 60 men lockers. May be similar on women side. I assume they can only accept max. number of people at one time before you need to wait for your turn to go in.
Our family enjoyed our stay here at spa on air. Wish every major airport has facilities like this to accommodate travelers needs.
Not the full meal deal as the traditional Korean spa. And no cafe inside. But pretty good for travelers who need refresh and get some rest before the long trip or meeting someone...
Read moreNothing like how paid blogs described it, they are just scams. I had been to a proper jjimjilbang before and I genuinely enjoyed the experience. However, I’d say this place is nowhere close to a proper jjimjilbang. There is literally no sauna at all. Just 2 saunas and one is used as sleeping space after 10pm. You can hear people still talking in normal voices despite it is nearly 4am in the morning, not even attempting to keep their voice down a bit.
The experience here is no more than a giant room where 30+ people sleeping in the same space. There are gender specific sleeping rooms but they are really tiny and quite likely you’d not be able to find a space after 12am.
A lot of people are snoring and some are farting. Even if you can manage to fall asleep despite on the snorings, quite likely you’ll get woken up by someone’s fart.
If you want to experience a proper jjimjilbang, just dont come here. If you wanted actual proper sleep, also dont come here. It is just a tiny public room that 30+ people are sleeping on floor mats.
Please dont mistaken me as someone not embracing the culture and just being ignorant. My experience 5 years ago in Dragon Hill Spa (now permanently closed) was really amazing and I had a really good night experiencing sauna rooms at different temperatures, delicious snacks and a adequately large female sleeping room where I actually managed to fall asleep and had a good break.
The only nice thing about this place is the staff are really nice to me, which I am really grateful.
Do not recommend overnight stay/ any stay longer than 6hrs, personally I am deeply regretting my choice when typing this review. If I’d learn about the facilities before entering (mind that they dont quite have any proper photos or anything to show you the facilities before your entry), I would have definitely went for a hotel/ travel into the city for proper...
Read moreAfter a long flight, I visited the spa at Incheon International Airport to unwind. It’s a perfect spot for a warm shower and half-body bath, making it a must-visit before heading into the city.
While the spa does have sleeping rooms, I primarily used the shower facilities. The space isn’t very large, but it wasn’t crowded during my visits, so I didn’t experience any major inconveniences.
The individual shower booths have frosted glass doors, which provide good privacy. The water temperature in the half-body bath is pleasantly warm, but it’s a bit disappointing that you can’t adjust the temperature individually. I personally prefer a higher temperature for a more relaxing soak.
Basic shower amenities like hair shampoo, body wash, soap, towels, hair dryers, combs, and lotion are all provided, which is very convenient. If you want a wider variety of products, you can also purchase them on-site.
During your visit, the counter will safely store your luggage and valuables. While the size and quality may not compare to spas located in the city, I found it quite satisfying to spend just 10,000 KRW to relax in a half-body bath at the airport before moving on to my next destination.
If you’re looking for a brief moment of relaxation during your travels, I highly...
