What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Stretching out toward the horizon, its infinity edge curving around the property and blending into the contours of the sea, the estuary pool is the longest of its kind in Korea.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Coastal trails wind along the cliffs outside, leading directly to Jungmun Beach and the volcanic shoreline.
The rooms
Private balconies look out across the water, and rooms are furnished with custom timber pieces inspired by local volcanic stone.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated Estuary Pool wraps along the coastline, and the indoor pool looks out on lush garden greenery.
The spa and gym
Therapists at VONESTIS Spa perform full-body de-stress massages, and the gym is equipped with Technogym machines.
At the table
Confetti serves seasonal Jeju seafood and grilled black pork, and Fondmer Bar mixes cocktails beside illuminated gold shelving.
How it began
The building began life in 1985 as the Hyatt Regency Jeju, introducing modern resort hospitality to the island before a comprehensive 2022 renovation.
