The nation has established a self-improvement business in recent years, with spas and health resorts open around the peninsula welcoming visitors. Rural areas also provide a plethora of natural attractions, including peaceful islands, mountain excursions, and hot springs to assist mental clarity and emotional healing.

Relax at a wellness resort

Chill in a luxury spa treatment at South Korea’s renowned wellness resorts, including physical, emotional, and mental health treatments. Visit the Garden of Eve, a peaceful retreat in Korea’s Gangwon Province. The first wellness resort retreat in Korea is Healience Zen Village, located at the foot of Mt. Jongja in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. It’s the perfect place for you if you want to relax your mind, body, and spirit! After a healthy balanced meal, take a stroll in the countryside while practicing yoga, or recharge your energies at one of the many spas available. Find time to focus on and care for yourselves at Healience Zen Village.

Take a break from the hustle and sit in a teahouse to sip and soak

Coffee shops may be popular in the West, but Koreans prefer tea like other East Asians. This unique blend has played an important part in Korea’s history, from trade to religion and medicine. Tea is produced in several varieties in South Korea, which are available for tasting in one of the nation’s many teahouses.

A good example is Tea Therapy, a Seoul tea house located in former president Yun Posun. It’s an excellent location to try a cup of tea. Guests may take a short quiz that determines their preferred tea type and then enjoy a cup while relaxing in a soothing footbath.

Beauty and Spa treatments

A beauty treatment is one of the best ways to relax and South Korea is the perfect wellness travel destination for it! Koreans are known for their love of skincare and spa treatments, so there are plenty of places to indulge while on holiday here. You can find a treatment that will suit your needs and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, from facials to massages.

Korean beauty treatments are often opulent and holistic, but they are also concerned with providing visible effects that last. Sulwhasoo’s flagship store is Amorepacific, one of the world’s best-known beauty firms. Gangnam, Seoul, a renowned attraction for beauty enthusiasts, features two different spa facilities.

Sulwhasoo Spa is the top of the line in luxurious anti-aging Korean medicine spa treatments, while Sulwhasoo Balance Spa is designed for a more relaxing atmosphere.

Head south to Busan, where Spa Land Centum City in Shinsegae Department Store has 13 unique spas with some of the most futuristic-looking treatment rooms on earth. Water is a common theme – appropriate for this seaside metropolis.

The hot springs are responsible for many of the spa’s treatments. The natural subterranean hot spring water is used in a variety of therapies. Other activities include steam rooms or a traditional Korean bathhouse experience.

Korean traditional medicine            

Many wellness centers worldwide offer modern-day interpretations of traditional Korean medicine and therapies for the weary traveler. Medicinal teas, herbs like ginger, mint, clove, and other treatments and rituals are steeped in history but given a 21st-century makeover. The Donguibogam Village in South Korea’s south has been named an “oriental medicine theme park” and covers a large plot on Wangsan Mountain. The resort, which is 480 meters above sea level, is notable for the three large rocks on its grounds that radiate good energy, health, and fortune.

Temple Stay 

If you’re looking for a more spiritual type of relaxation, consider spending time at one of South Korea’s many temples. A temple stay is a unique opportunity to first-hand learn about and experience Korean Buddhism. You’ll be able to participate in meditation, prayers, and other activities while enjoying the quiet and serene surroundings.

Instead of the beeping of your phone alarm, you’ll hear the twittering of birds. The chirping of crickets instead of the honking of cars on the road. Doesn’t it sound like a vision from your childhood? That’s the beauty of a temple stay. It takes you back to when things were simpler, and life was more in tune with nature.
