The Shilla Jeju is a 429-room luxury resort in Jungmun, on the south coast of the island, set in landscaped grounds close to the sea. It has two outdoor pools, an indoor pool and a children's pool, a full-service spa, three restaurants, a poolside bar and a cafe, plus a children's club and playground. Parking is free on site.
Location and getting around
Jungmun Saekdal Beach is about a four-minute walk from the hotel, and the resort belt of Jungmun has a golf club, a teddy bear museum and the Yeomiji Botanical Garden within a short walk or a two-minute drive. Jusangjeolli Cliffs are close by, and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Seogwipo are a short drive east. The airport is a little under an hour by car, so most guests arrive by taxi, shuttle or rental car. Free self-parking on site makes a car easy to use.
Rooms and facilities
The hotel is a classic resort, with spacious rooms and suites, many with sea or garden views, and amenities such as a minibar, an in-room refrigerator, air conditioning and wired internet. Free WiFi covers the public areas. The pools and spa are the main draw, and cabanas at the pool carry an extra charge. Room service runs round the clock, and three restaurants cover Korean, Japanese and international dining. Breakfast is a buffet that is charged separately, served in the morning, so compare room-only and breakfast rates. Spa treatments need advance reservations.
Who it suits and what to know: couples and families who want a resort feel with the beach, pools and sights close together, and travellers using Jungmun as a base for the south coast. Check-in starts mid-afternoon and check-out is at eleven, with express options available. Summer weekends and holidays sell out first, so book early, and expect a quieter, cooler and cheaper stay in winter. Plan on a car or taxis for Hallasan, Seongsan and the east, as these are long drives from the south coast.
