Many of us are looking for relaxing destinations hotels and resorts with magnificent views in Korea. Thankfully, South Korea has hundreds of small pensions with seaside views due to the coastline that wraps the peninsula. Pensions (think bed and breakfasts where you make your own breakfast in your kitchenette) are a great option for a weekend trip because they have in-room kitchenettes and places to grill. That means you can both enjoy eating out and the convenience of dining at “at home.”
Beach Pensions in South Korea
Pensions also often offer scenic views, pools, and a relaxing “home” feeling. Sometimes you even get to meet your hosts and get to know each other as friends. Pensions are the Bed & Breakfasts of Korea. Pensions often provide a more intimate and friendly atmosphere than hotels and large resorts.
The one big issues for international visitors is that booking pensions can often be difficult due to language barriers and payment issues. However, you can use a bi-lingual concierge who can help you with booking these delightful locations.
It should be noted that Mallipo Beach area, and Taean in general, has far more pensions than hotels, motels, or resorts. Additionally, pensions will provide you with a more intimate and uniquely Korean experience. That experience will be different from your culture. Beds might be different, bathrooms might be configured different, and it might feel strange at first. You will possibly like somethings and be uncomfortable with other thing while you get used to the changes. Arrive with an open mind and discover a different type of countryside beach experience.
