Kualanamu's airside international lounge on DragonPass — with showers near Gate 5.

About this lounge

The Saphire Lounge at Kualanamu International Airport offers a tranquil retreat amid the bustling terminal, airside near Gate 5 on Level 2 after passport control and security. Reachable on DragonPass, its decor combines modern minimalism with subtle Indonesian cultural touches for a soothing ambiance, with soft lighting and comfortable seating areas thoughtfully arranged. The lounge keeps a quiet atmosphere, ideal for unwinding before your flight, and while it can get moderately busy during peak hours it never feels overcrowded. Shower facilities and a smoking area add to its convenience, making it a strong choice for international travellers who want a calm, comfortable space after clearing the checkpoint — and the most accessible independent lounge at KNO for DragonPass holders.
