| The Shilla Jeju, a member of the world-recognized group of the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), on the popular holiday island of Jeju, about an hour’s flight from Seoul, is regarded as Korea’s leading luxury resort. Its design is Mediterranean in style, its gleaming white exterior surrounded by magnificently manicured gardens. It is an ideal, idyllic spot for vacationers and honeymooners, while it also has hosted some of Korea’s most important visitors in the past decade. For instance, in 1996 The Shilla Jeju made world news when U.S. President Bill Clinton delivered an address to the international media from the hotel’s gardens. And engraved plaques in the sumptuous royal and presidential suites commemorate the stays of some of the world’s most powerful leaders including not only Mr. Clinton, but Mikhail Gorbachev, Jiang Zemin, Ryutaro Hashimoto, and Keio Obuchi. |
| Inside the hotel, in the lounges, priceless artworks complement acres of cream-colored marble, real palms, and white wicker furniture. The 429 luxurious rooms and suites also feature a light, Mediterranean-inspired decor, with balconies overlooking the sea or Mt. Halla, an extinct volcano and Korea is highest peak. The hotel has six international restaurants and bars, a fitness club with a sauna, indoor and outdoor pools, and a casino. A new generation Spa ‘L’ Institut de Guerlain’ opened last year. |

The Jeju Island is famous for 3 things: roaring winds, magnificent rocks, and woman divers for fishing. As one of the host cities of the 2002 Korea/Japan FIFA World Cup, Jeju's Seogwipo City has a fame of the most enchanting environment in Korea. Jeju is a focal point of international affairs and offers many kinds of recreation together with breathtaking vistas, a temperate climate and a unique traditional culture. Located in the center of this volcanically |
| formed island is Mt. Halla (a dormant volcano), which is filled with over 1,800 species of wild plants, wild deers, and an ecosystem, that will surely amaze all visitors. |
| Jeju also offers unbelievably breathtaking views from coast to coast, ranging from waterfalls at Haean Jidae to naturally sculpted cliffs at Jusang Jeolli. Tourists can enjoy each season in Jeju with a particular splash of color; brilliant yellow-colored flowers in spring that spread across the landscape, the golden beaches and sea vistas in summer, the Eulalia's light brown wispy reeds flowing in autumn winds, and the lovely snow flowers of Mt. Halla in winter are all must-sees of Jeju. |
 |
| You can enjoy hiking, bike riding, paragliding, scuba diving, windsurfing, hunting, horseback riding, swimming in the ocean, and sightseeing boat trips in Jeju. Jeju has a wide variety of local fruits and foods, such as delicious Jeju tangerines, saltwater fish (Okdom) stews, grilled saltwater fishes with seasoning, rice porridges with abalone, pheasant dishes and hair-tail fish soups. Jeju is more than simply a tourist destination; it is an island full of wonder.
Jeju keeps changing itself into an International Free City, and becomes an island of harmony under the wave of technology while maintaining its ecological treasures.
