Built on the area between two islands, filling in 4,620,000㎡, Taepyung Salt Farm looks like an airport with a runaway when seen from the sky. Taepyung Salt Farm Maritime Healing Spa was built by expanding the Salt Cave Healing Center that was launched in 2010. It offers a wide range of alternative salt therapy programs, including Salt Cave Healing Room made with sun-dried salt, and Mineral Floating Therapy designed to experience what it would be like floating in the Dead Sea, which helps you achieve health and comfort.

The Mystery of Salt Cave Salt has been playing a pivotal role in preventing diseases and improving health since old times. The European methods of healing using salt have been popular among salt mine workers particularly in Eastern Europe, which has a number of halite mines. It was even proven by Polish doctor Felix Boczkowski that salt is effective in treating respiratory diseases. The most popular form of salt therapy in the world is the salt cave-shaped healing room. Among six salt cave healing rooms available in South Korea, Taepyung Salt Farm Maritime Healing Spa has the biggest one in terms of size and range of programs. This salt cave, built with the highest-quality edible sun-dried salt, is filled with ultra-fine nano particles of salt. That is why it is possible to absorb 88 minerals and iodines, which is good for your health. It is convenient because you do not have to get changed. Unlike a sauna, it is not too hot, which means you can stay longer inside the salt cave. Taepyung Salt Farm Maritime Healing Spa offers three types of the salt cave: a room with beds placed in a u-shape, a family room perfect for those accompanying kids, and a room with a zero gravity recliner.

If you have enough time to spare, a 90-minute course would be a better fit. This program allows you to take

a rest in the Salt Cave Healing Room after getting the Mineral Floating Therapy. The Mineral Floating Therapy involves slipping into a separate individual bathtub and experiencing a state of nongravitation that comes from balance between gravity and buoyancy. The light will go out after a set period of time in the room, and you will be thrown into complete darkness. The water used for Mineral Floating Therapy has a composition similar to the amniotic fluid, which will make you feel light as a baby in a mother's womb.

You are highly encouraged to use a small shovel and cover your body with salt just as in sand spa. Once you are done with the spa, you can take a shower simply with water instead of using a body cleanser and then drink a cup of tea made with Angelica Utilis Makino, one of Sinan’s local specialities.
