What Is AQUAFIELD Spa and Indoor Waterpark?

AQUAFIELD is more than just a waterpark—it’s a comprehensive spa complex that combines modern design with traditional Korean relaxation practices. Located on the upper floors of the Starfield Goyang Mall, it offers a variety of pools, sauna zones, and themed Jimjilbangs meant to soothe your muscles and calm your mind.
The experience is designed to stimulate all five senses: the calming sound of flowing water, ample skylights flooding the space with natural light, and thematic zones that invoke feelings from resting on clouds to watching mysterious auroras. Its location in a high-end shopping mall makes it a convenient stop, whether you want a quick spa break or a full-day retreat.
While the core experience is indoor, it also boasts outdoor water park sections that, as of late April, are temporarily unavailable due to renovations. This detail is crucial for visitors planning to enjoy outdoor features, but the indoor facilities still shine on their own.

The Itinerary Breakdown

Stop 1: AQUAFIELD
Your first stop is the indoor AQUAFIELD, which is renowned in Korea for its modern amenities and relaxing atmosphere. Here, you’ll find an infinity pool that seems to touch the sky, offering fantastic views of the surrounding area—ideal for those Instagram-worthy moments.
Reviewers mention the soothing sound of water as a key highlight, contributing to the overall calming vibe. You can also explore eight themed Jimjilbang zones, each offering a different sensory experience, from the mysterious aurora to the “rest on clouds” space. These zones are designed not only for relaxation but also for fun, with some reviewers calling it “a place where you can experience healing for the five senses.”
However, it’s important to note that AQUAFIELD Hanam and Anseong outdoor water parks are temporarily closed from April 20-30 for renovation, which could impact those specifically wanting outdoor water features. The voucher sent via Viator must be checked carefully, as some travelers reported issues with voucher acceptance at the entrance.
Stop 2: AQUAFIELD Hanam
The second stop is the Hanam branch of AQUAFIELD, which offers similar modern amenities and a tranquil environment. Like Goyang, it features an infinity pool, themed spas, and sensory zones.
Despite being a favorite among locals, some travelers have mentioned the need to double-check vouchers—”Aquafield didn’t want to accept the voucher because it didn’t have a barcode or QR code,” as one reviewer noted. This suggests that while the experience is highly valued, confirming your booking details beforehand can save you time.
Stop 3: Starfield Anseong Mall
Finally, the Starfield Anseong Mall location combines AQUAFIELD’s wellness features with shopping and dining options. It’s perfect if you want to add a retail component to your relaxation day. The mall’s vibrant atmosphere and variety of shops make it a good spot for extended visits.
Again, the outdoor water features are unavailable during the renovation period, but the indoor pools and spa zones still deliver a satisfying experience.

The infinity pool, with its panoramic view touching the sky, is the centerpiece for many visitors. It combines modern aesthetics with a tranquil environment, perfect for soaking in the sights while enjoying a gentle water massage.
Although outdoor water park sections are temporarily out of service due to renovations (April 20-30), you might still find outdoor pools and water features available outside these dates. The indoor pools operate with flexible hours, offering a relaxed ambiance.

The Experience: Pros and Cons
What We Love
The modern design and themed spa zones elevate this experience beyond a typical waterpark. The infinity pool’s panoramic views and soothing water sounds create a calming environment, ideal for relaxing in style. Many reviewers pointed out the calming atmosphere as a major highlight, with one describing it as “a place to experience healing for the five senses.”
The convenience of being inside a shopping mall means you can combine relaxation with a quick shopping spree or a meal afterwards, making it a cost-effective and efficient way to spend a day.
Considerations
The voucher acceptance process can be confusing, especially if you rely on third-party booking platforms. Some travelers have had issues with voucher validation at the entrance, which suggests you should double-check your confirmation details beforehand.
Plus, the outdoor water park sections are temporarily unavailable, which might disappoint visitors expecting outdoor pools. This could impact those planning a full outdoor water experience.
Value for Money
At around $18.10 per person, this ticket provides access to multiple zones, pools, and themed spas for several hours—offering good value for a wellness-oriented experience. Keep in mind that additional fees apply if you extend your stay beyond the designated time, which is typical for Korean spas.
The multi-zone approach allows you to tailor your experience—whether you want a quick soak or a full-day relaxer—making this ticket flexible and cost-efficient.

Final Thoughts: Who Should Consider This Experience?
This tour appeals most to travelers who want a luxurious, sensory-rich spa day with beautiful pools and themed relaxation zones. It’s best suited for those who value modern amenities and want to unwind in a culturally authentic Korean environment.
While the outdoor features are temporarily unavailable, the indoor facilities alone still offer a valuable, soothing experience for a reasonable price. It’s perfect for a rest day after sightseeing or a mid-trip recharge.
However, if outdoor water park fun is your priority, you might want to wait until renovations are complete or explore other outdoor water parks in the area. Also, those who rely heavily on online vouchers should double-check all details beforehand to avoid surprises at entry.
Overall, AQUAFIELD balances modern comfort, themed relaxation zones, and affordable pricing, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone looking to relax and refresh during their South Korea trip.
