Jeju Island, often referred to as the "Hawaii of South Korea," is a paradise for both locals and tourists alike. Situated off the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju is the largest of Korea's thousands of islands and a favourite holiday destination for many including Koreas wealthy.
One of the most enticing aspects of Jeju is its balmy climate, which makes it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With mild winters and warm summers, the island offers pleasant weather year-round, attracting visitors who seek to bask in its sunshine and enjoy its natural beauty.
But perhaps the most iconic feature of Jeju is its stunning beaches. From the pristine sands of Jungmun Beach to the dramatic cliffs of Seongsan Ilchulbong Beach, the island boasts a diverse array of coastal landscapes that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply taking in the breath-taking views.
In addition to its natural attractions, Jeju is also home to Hallasan, Korea's highest mountain and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking to the summit of Hallasan offers adventurous travellers the chance to experience panoramic views of the island and its surrounding seas.
And let's not forget about Jeju's rich indigenous culture, which sets it apart from the mainland. From traditional stone houses and folk villages to unique customs and festivals, the island is steeped in a rich heritage that reflects its distinct identity and history.
