🏘️ Must-Visit Districts in Jeju
Choosing where to stay in Jeju isn’t like picking a neighbourhood in a big city, because here everything revolves around wider areas that act as little bases for getting around the island.
Each one has its own personality, its rhythm and its hidden corners, so it’s a good idea to get to know them before you book anything.
Seogwipo: Nature, waterfalls and volcanic coastline
For many, Seogwipo is the best place to stay on Jeju Island—especially if you're drawn to nature and fancy starting the day near cliffs, waterfalls, and sea-scented trails.
The magic here is that you drift from one vibe to another without moving much: one moment you’re standing before Jeongbang Waterfall and, the next, you’re wandering between cafés with ocean views. If you’re coming from Jeju City, you’ll notice the contrast straight away, because life moves at a different pace here.
By the way, be sure to ask about the coastal routes when you arrive, as they’ll really help you decide what to do on Jeju Island depending on how many days you have.
Jeju City: Convenience, urban life and proximity to the airport
If you’re after comfort above all, Jeju City is a safe bet. It has an urban vibe, plenty of dining options, and loads of things to do in Jeju City, including local markets and even small museums you can see in no time.
The best part is you can be pretty spontaneous, because transport turns up fast and you’re just a stone’s throw from the airport, which is ideal if you need last-minute plans or you’re wondering what to do in Jeju City in one day.
And if your flight arrives early, make the most of it by checking out things to do near Jeju Airport—they usually save your morning without any hassle.
Jungmun: Nature and urban life in perfect balance
Jungmun is that sweet spot that’s sometimes hard to find. It has beautiful beaches, incredible viewpoints and a slightly more refined vibe, so you can enjoy the sea in the morning and quiet cafés in the afternoon without much driving.
In fact, many of the best things to do in Jeju are just a few minutes away, making it easy to plan activities without having to trek across half the island.
Did you know…? Here you'll find one of the most photogenic coastal paths, surrounded by black volcanic rock and lush vegetation.
If you fancy unique things to do in Jeju, this spot usually surprises.
Hyeopjae: Spectacular beaches and a tranquil atmosphere
Hyeopjae is the perfect choice if you fancy that 'proper holiday' vibe, with beaches of turquoise water and light-coloured sand.
It’s a hit with those arriving by cruise, because from here it’s easy to fit in things to do at Jeju Cruise Port without wasting time on transfers. And if you’re happiest by the sea all day, you’ll find no shortage of water activities in Jeju, from stand-up paddleboarding to snorkelling in quiet coves.
Fun fact: this area boasts some of the island’s most beautiful sunsets, so try to set aside a day to experience them at a relaxed pace.

Jeju Internation Airport / Yeondong Jeju City|4.86km from city centre
Jeju Shinhwa World offers a shuttle bus service from the airport. There's also what's supposedly one of Korea's largest casinos here, though I just passed by and didn't go in – gambling and drugs are a big no-no for me.
The hotel's infinity pool, stunning sunset views, and high-rise overlooks give you that 'sky-high' feeling, even in a small town. The third and fourth floors house a shopping center and restaurants, but honestly, there's not much worth browsing unless you arrive early and have time to kill.
Check-in is at 3 PM and check-out is at 11 AM, which feels a bit strict.
It's very convenient for getting around the city. For shopaholics, Olive Young and Shilla Duty Free are just a 5-minute walk away, about a block. Foodies will also be happy, as BHC BBQ Chicken is also just 5 minutes away. The transportation really is excellent.
Breakfast on the sixth floor was a bit disappointing, not much to eat and a far cry from places like Parnas or Shilla in Seogwipo. But then again, if not here, where else would you stay?FromRUB 24,909

Jeju Internation Airport / Yeondong Jeju City|3.62km from city centre
The Jeju Sunshine Hotel boasts an excellent location, just about 2 kilometers from Jeju International Airport, a quick ten-minute taxi ride away. Within walking distance, you'll find convenience stores, restaurants, and duty-free shops like Lotte and Shilla, making shopping and getting around incredibly convenient.
The rooms are spacious and tidy, and after a renovation in 2019, the facilities feel quite new. The central air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature, and the soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a good night's sleep on soft bedding. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of universal power outlets, so no adapter is needed, and toiletries are provided (though you'll need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste).
The front desk offers Chinese-speaking staff, making communication smooth. They also provide free luggage storage and can arrange airport shuttle service. The breakfast spread is extensive, featuring Chinese, Western, and Korean dishes, and the hotel has well-equipped facilities like a gym and sauna.
Overall, it offers great value for money. While the decor leans towards a business style, the attentive service and convenient location make it an excellent choice for families or shoppers visiting Jeju Island.FromRUB 6,523

Dongmun Market / Jeju City Hall Jeju City|2.22km from city centre
This is an established, star-rated hotel, conveniently located about a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport. The elevators offer glass panels with sea views, and the waterfall view in the ground floor cafe is also beautiful. The lobby has a CU convenience store, there's a GS25 by the entrance, and an Emart and a pharmacy directly across the street. The nearby neighborhood is quiet and charming, boasting a wide variety of food options like tofu soup restaurants and bakeries, as well as specialty stores like Olive Young and Patagonia, perfect for a leisurely stroll.
The front desk service was excellent. They kindly stored my luggage before the 3 PM check-in time. Some staff members couldn't understand English, but they patiently found colleagues who could assist. The breakfast offered a great variety and was very good.
Downsides:
① The room has limited power outlets. Once the lamp is plugged in, there aren't many other available sockets, so I recommend bringing a small power strip.
② The bathroom has a bathtub, which might be less convenient for elderly guests.
③ Since it wasn't air-conditioning season, the only ventilation in the room was by opening the window. However, there was a slight noise from planes taking off and landing at the distant airport. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs, though it was quiet in the middle of the night.FromRUB 3,523

Hamdeok Beach Jeju City|13.45km from city centre
The hotel is quite large, and the pools are impressive, with many of various sizes. However, the Wi-Fi signal is poor. The staff are just average; you don't feel particularly welcomed. They get the job done, but their service attitude is mediocre, without much in the way of smiling service. There are also a lot of strange rules. For instance, at the poolside BBQ, you can't wear a bathrobe, and your swimsuit can't be wet, so you have to change into dry clothes either before or after swimming to eat. There's also a specific time slot for pool maintenance when only the jacuzzi is available, not the main pool. None of this is communicated during check-in; you only find out once you're there, which is quite inconvenient and awkward. Plus, the hotel is quite remote. There's only an ecological park to visit, and it's inconvenient to go anywhere else. Since we didn't have a car, we were limited to eating at the hotel. The hotel restaurant only had about 6 or 8 dishes, which I got tired of after two days. Afterward, I preferred to eat instant noodles. But to be fair, the hotel's environment is excellent, like a castle in the forest.FromRUB 6,761

Aewol Jeju City|13.8km from city centre
”Who said that Jeju Island has a romantic sea breeze? The EEDO villa I lived in this time directly refreshed my understanding of 'home away from home'! The constant temperature pool control must be rushed: soak in the warm pool in the afternoon, the blue sky of Jeju is looking up, and the water waves are swaying the sun like a broken drill. Every shot is an ins wind blockbuster ～ room details are full: the bedding is soft to like trapped in the clouds, and every day I wake up outside the window is a clean healing scenery, and even the bathroom exudes a faint fragrance. When I checked in, there were Jeju specialty oranges on the table, which were sweet to bursting juice! In the evening, I personally helped us barbecue, the sound of black pork and his special sauce, and I went down and went directly to the soul to wear ”The Canteen” 😂 Before leaving, I even sent a small souvenir. The location of the villa is super convenient, it takes 15 minutes to go to Yayuexuan to see the seagulls. Remember to bring more swimsuits, poolside and lounge chairs are too filmed. If Jeju Island is gentle and shaped, it must be the water ripples in the EEDO villa pool + the fireworks of the landlord's grandfather's barbecue. Sisters close their eyes and rush, this is definitely worth N brushing!Business travel

Right across from the hotel is a fantastic running track, and jogging along the coast offers a truly comfortable and pleasant exercise experience! The room was clean and tidied daily. While the hotel isn't new, the overall facilities and cleanliness are quite good. There's a bakery and supermarket downstairs, which is very convenient. Within 50 meters, you'll find several outdoor sports brand stores, the OY Cosmetics Supermarket, and bars. Chilseong-ro is just a 10-minute walk away, as is the Black Pork Street.

❤️Accommodation: For our three nights, we stayed at the Tongye Dong Hotel in the city center. The owner spoke a little Chinese and was very kind, even joking with us. We were able to borrow power adapters from him. (We were tricked by a Taobao seller who said British standard adapters worked in Korea – they absolutely don't! Korea uses round pins, and we couldn't find any at several convenience stores. Finally, we asked the owner, and he lent us three directly.) We were out early and back late for all three days, so we weren't too particular about the accommodation. The overall environment was decent, just for sleeping.

Adults and children can enter and exit unlimited times a day. There is an additional charge for lounge chairs by the pool, so don't sit on them casually.
It costs about 40 yuan to take a taxi to Qixing Road and Health Care Road. There are some restaurants not far from the hotel on the other side, but many of them are closed on weekends. There is also a medium-sized supermarket with Chinese service staff, so you can buy some souvenirs.FromRUB 2,534

Udo Island
Udo Island is that little treat that’s absolutely worth it. It lies just off the east coast, and you can get there by ferry, which takes just a few minutes.
Interestingly, although many people come from Seoul or Busan wondering how to get from Seoul to Jeju Island or how to get from Busan to Jeju Island, the important thing is that once you’re on Jeju you only need to head to Seongsan Port to board.
If you ever hear about the ferry from Busan to Jeju, be aware there are long routes, but the usual way is to fly and then hop across to Udo from Jeju.
Plan in Udo
- White, very tranquil beaches
- Cafés with sea views
- Gentle and photogenic trails

I am happy to see the blue sea of Jeju.
There are cherry blossoms at the entrance to the parking lot, too.
It is also fun to browse on market day.
I recommend Yongdune Haejangguk nearby, a great place for solo dining.
A drive along the nearby canola flower coastal road is also great.If these plans have already whetted your travel appetite, just wait until you see the rest of the activities you can fit into your Jeju itinerary.
🌿 Jeju Island, South Korea's Premier Volcanic Island
Jeju has been featuring on must-visit destination lists for years, and with good reason: the island blends unique volcanic landscapes with imposing mountains like Hallasan, plus tranquil beaches with crystal-clear water and a seafaring culture that’s still very much alive.
🌋 Volcanic routes and trails of Hallasan
If you fancy getting active and you’re looking for things to do in Jeju, Hallasan makes it easy. Its trails wind through lush forests, areas of black rock, and viewpoints that are completely transformed in winter.
In fact, if you’re wondering what to do in Jeju in winter, climbing Hallasan or hiking a section of the Seongpanak Trail is an experience that changes with the snow, the light and the weather.
Useful details for planning your route
- Volcano height: 1950 m
- Average duration of the Seongpanak Trail: 4–5 h per section
- Best time: clear mornings to avoid the fog
If you’re there on a cold, clear day, the contrast between the white forest and the volcanic rock is a marvel.

Climbing Mount Hallasan, which often appears in Korean dramas, is a truly wonderful memory.
I didn't have enough time to climb all the way up, but climbing through the trees was pleasant. Even though the path was well-maintained, it was quite strenuous.🌊 Maritime culture and white-sand beaches
Jeju also has a distinctly coastal side, with villages where traditional fishing is still practised and beaches that shimmer in turquoise hues. If you’re travelling when the weather is mild and looking for things to do in Jeju in June, spending a morning in Hamdeok or Woljeongri is a fantastic idea.
In spring, as the weather begins to turn milder, many travellers wonder what to do in Jeju in April, May, or even July.
Well, the coast comes alive: fish markets, cafés with seafront terraces, and short cliff paths that don’t require much effort. And if you come in September, the sea is still beautifully warm, so swimming or kayaking is still an absolute winner.
Dongmun Traditional Market
4.7/5
81 Reviews
The most famous local market in Jeju Island, very close to Chilsung-ga Shopping Street and Central Underground Street. It is a market during the day and like a night market at night. When the weather is good, there are a lot of people. The various citrus products and souvenirs lined up in a spectacular manner. There is also a wide range of fresh fish, agricultural fruits and vegetables, and street snacks. If you want to catch all the delicacies of Jeju Island at once, you can come to Dongmun Market.🌤️ Best Time to Visit Jeju
