JW Marriott Resort Opens on Jeju Island, South Korea

Dark/Light Mode (03/04/23)  Marriott has expanded its portfolio of JW hotels to the island of Jeju in South Korea.

The JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa in Seogwipo is perched on a cliffside overlooking the stunning volcanic coastline of Jeju island.

The resort's surroundings are directly connected to Route 7 of the island's famous Olle Trail, a walking path that follows the coastline for approximately 17.7 kilometers, overlooking endless stretches of blue ocean and nearby Beomseom island.

Jeju island is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Hallasan Mountain Natural Reserve, Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, and the Getbol Tidal Flats.
