Detox Your Mind: Unwind at Spa Land Busan's Serene Oasis

Aakanksha Monga, a travel blogger known for sharing hidden travel gems, says you probably haven't heard of one of the world's biggest and most affordable spas. Welcome to Spa Land Busan, hidden inside Shinsegae Centum City, the world's largest department store.

More Than Just a Spa

Spa Land is a jjimjilbang, a traditional Korean spa where people come to relax, nap, soak, and recharge. For just ₩20,000 (around $14), you get 4 hours of full access to the spa's amazing features—22 bath zones, 13 themed saunas, and cozy lounge areas that feel like a movie set.

Unique Saunas and Chill Zones

Once you change into your spa uniform, you're free to explore everything. Each sauna offers different health benefits. There's a Pyramid Room, a Bamboo Room, and even a Wave Dream Room made to reduce stress. Aakanksha's favorite? The outdoor foot bath with pools at different temperatures, perfect for tired feet.

Food, Fun, and Total Relaxation

And yes, it gets better. On the third floor, you can make your own ramen, play arcade games, or chill in the movie room. Korea really knows how to take self-care to another level.

Pro Tips for a Peaceful Visit

Visit on a weekday morning or after 7PM for fewer crowds. You'll get a locker, spa clothes, and even massage chairs—all included. Not into saunas? No problem. Lounge in the foot spa garden and sip a drink from the vending machine.
