[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Known to South Koreans as the perfect summertime getaway, the spectacular Jeju Island reveals a different side of itself during winter – one that’s no less enthralling, and certainly no less fun. Make like a Korean A-list celeb and retreat to the Shilla Jeju this winter, where a wealth of activities coupled with the island’s naturally astounding landscape transforms the resort into a winter park.
Take to the dormant volcano of the Hallasan Mountain for a refreshing wintertime hike, wander about the snowy grounds of the Shilla on horseback, or take a romantic sunset yacht cruise – there’s no limit to the wintertime activities at this luxurious resort.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Wrap up a long day of wintertime fun with a dip into the resort’s heated outdoor pool and enjoy picture-perfect views of the Pacific Ocean and beyond – but if you’d prefer to soak in the view indoors, the Soombi Spa Zone also includes a heated indoor pool, numerous Jacuzzis, and a soothing sauna.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
