Whether there’s a significant flight delay, you have some extra time, or just need a quick escape from the stresses of airport travel, airport spas around the world offer more than just rejuvenating physical treatments. They also provide valuable calm and peace of mind that will shape your remaining journey more positively.
But the question so many people want answers to is, where are they?
There are many great airport spas around the world, and they continue to expand their offerings beyond the basic back rub.
I have seen spas now offering so many different services from fresh juices at Be Relax to cryotherapy services at XpresSpa, virtual reality massages, and much more.
Airports spas aren’t always the most comfortable places to find, especially in large, complicated terminals. But with a little bit of planning, make sure you take the time to seek them out once in a while. Your mind and body will thank you.
