As South Korea’s largest and most developed resort island, Jeju has long been the go-to domestic holiday destination among locals. But in 2022, one of Netflix’s biggest K-dramas, Our Blues, brought the island a new level of international visibility. In the show, which stars Parasite alum Lee Jung-eun and Lee Byung-hun from Squid Game, the volcanic island with its windswept coastline, mountainous horizon, and famous haenyeo, or free-diving grandmothers, plays an omnipresent role.
作為韓國最大和最發達的度假島嶼,濟州島長期以來一直是當地人的首選國內度假目的地。但在 2022 年,Netflix 最主要的韓劇之一《我們的藍調時光》將該島的國際知名度提高到一個新水準。在這部由《寄生上流》的演員李貞恩和《魷魚遊戲》的李秉憲主演的劇中,這座火山島以其風吹日曬的海岸線、多山的地平線和著名的海女,即自由潛水的老祖母,扮演了一個無所不在的角色。

After closing for two years, international air travel to Jeju resumed last summer, bringing tourists from Bangkok, Singapore, Taiwan, Osaka, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, many of whom beeline to the island casinos. To meet rising demand, new resort offerings include the JW Marriott Jeju Resort and Spa, the Parnas Hotel Jeju (previously the Shore Hotel before renovation and rebranding), and the luxury resort complex Amber Pure Hill, located 1,640 ft. above sea level and featuring a dramatic ocean-view infinity pool.
在關閉了兩年之後,去年夏天恢復了到濟州島的國際航空旅行,帶來了來自曼谷、新加坡、臺灣、大阪、東京和香港的遊客,其中許多人直奔島上的賭場。為了滿足不斷增長的需求,新的度假村產品包括 JW萬豪濟州度假村和水療中心、濟州帕納斯酒店(在翻新和重塑品牌之前是海岸酒店),以及豪華度假村綜合體 Amber Pure Hill,位於海拔 1,640 呎處,擁有一座令人印象深刻的海景無邊際泳池。

One of the island’s biggest draws for nature lovers is the Jeju Olle Trail, a 270-mile coastal footpath. After reopening a part of the Songaksan mountain peak in 2021 following a six-year closure, Jeju launched a new six-mile route last summer on Lower Chuja-Do, a smaller, less touristy island outpost. New cultural attractions on Jeju include the recently opened Itami Jun Museum in honor of the renowned Japan-born Korean architect Yoo Dong-ryong, and a family-friendly Little Prince museum. After closing last year for renovations, the X-rated Jeju Loveland, a quirky and popular sex-themed park where erotic art is put on full display, is scheduled to reopen this year.
