JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa
JEJU CITY, SOUTH KOREA
JW Marriot offers an exotic escape to the top of a cliff off the southern coast of Jeju island. Expect full oceanic views of the stunning coastline, which is a UNESCO Natural Heritage, adds to the experience. But what completes the escape is the resort’s impressive architecture that intentionally complements and optimises views of the picturesque coastline. Designed by award-winning architect and interior designer Bill Bensley, the resort is also an abstract representation of the island’s Choga architecture – a type of traditional nature-friendly house type, making the Jeju culture and influence in the resort unmistakable.
