Marriott debuts on Jeju island

JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa

JW Marriott announced the opening of JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa in Seogwipo, Jeju, perched on a cliffside overlooking the stunning volcanic coastlines of the island,

Bruce Rohr, JW Marriott Vice President and Global Brand Leader, noted that Jeju island is one of South Korea's most beautiful holiday destinations with its unique culture, history and traditions, as well as its spectacular UNESCO World heritage-listed natural attractions.

He added that JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa is an architectural masterpiece that exists in harmonious balance with its natural surroundings.

The resort's remarkable design is by luxury hotel designer Bill Bensley, who took inspiration from the raw natural beauty of Jeju and its farming and fishing traditions to bring the JW Marriott brand philosophy to life.

Bensley used gray, black and white to represent the volcanic landscapes of Jeju, contrasting these colors with the abundant use of yellow throughout the resort.

JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa offers 197 guest rooms including 28 Suites, all appointed in natural wood and warm tones.

The resort boasts of Island Kitchen, an all-day dining restaurant that showcases ingredients from Jeju and beyond; The Flying Hog, a BBQ and rotisserie restaurant; Yeoumul, a Jeju-style omakase restaurant, featuring seasonal ingredients and fresh seafood harvested by the island's local female divers called Haenyeo.

There’s also The Lounge, which welcomes guests with specialty coffees and a high tea set with special savory menu items.

The "Romantic Sunset" is a relaxing space where guests can sip cocktails and be enthralled by breathtaking sunset views over the ocean.

At the hotel's poolside, Bar Botan is a place for sitting back, relaxing with a local beer, and sampling signature menu items.

​JW Marriott is part of Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio of 30 extraordinary hotel brands,
