Away Spa at W Osaka

Blissful pampering and playful décor

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Located on the fourth floor of the trendy W Osaka, Away Spa puts a playful spin on your typical urban spa. Neon lights, chrome accents and richly hued subway tiles reflect the city’s buzzy personality, while natural elements like lush greenery, stone floors and wood-paneling dial down the energy.

True to W Hotels’ quirky style, the spa’s treatments have cheeky names like the Go Deep deep-tissue massage and the Quench exfoliating body scrub. Next to the indoor pool, a central courtyard dubbed the WET Deck provides a lush spot to unwind with cocktails or light bites. Plus, the gym features neon lights shaped like joggers — a nod to the iconic Glico running man sign in nearby Dotonbori.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Osaka spa’s reception resembles a chic bar, complete with wooden stools, LED strip lights and a radiant ring chandelier. The drinks of choice? Calming tea or refreshing infused water.
When the weather is warm, take advantage of the spa’s courtyard. With its lush vertical gardens, blue-toned seating and white umbrellas, the alfresco deck feels like a hidden oasis in the city center.
Like something out of a retro fever dream, the WET Pool is bathed in neon lights overhead and underwater. Better yet, blue-tiled walls lined with oversized daybeds provide plenty of space to relax before or after your treatment.
The spa’s changing rooms offer rainfall showers stocked with Momo toiletries by Davines, along with thermal facilities like a dry sauna and Japanese onsen-style bath.
You will enjoy shopping in Away Spa’s sleek boutique. Spherical chrome sculptures and brass-potted plants frame a curated selection of high-end products from brands like Comfort Zone and Davines.

The Treatments

If you’ve indulged in too many shochu highballs, the Body Detox might just be the treatment for you. This 60- or 90-minute massage uses a refreshing blend of essential oils to energize your metabolism and flush out toxins.
Perfect after a long-haul flight, the Refuel massage kicks off with a vodka-based “cocktail” foot ritual, followed by acupressure, stretching and essential oils to release tension and restore balance.
Tap into the healing power of botanicals with the Honey ritual. It begins on a relaxing note with a soothing honey foot massage and collagen drink. Next, a luxurious facial featuring the sweet stuff leaves your skin feeling soft, nourished and radiant.
After a day exploring Osaka, recharge with one of Away Spa’s body scrubs. The 60-minute Scrub Detox treatment aims to stimulate natural detoxification, while the Quench treatment rehydrates tired skin and helps combat jet lag.
