JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa

Bill Bensley designed the lobby as a contemporary take on the traditional Korean hanok, and it sets the tone for this cliff-top resort on Jeju's southern shore. Low-rise buildings with clean lines sit against volcanic landscape, rooms in warm wood and natural stone, and an infinity pool aimed squarely at the East China Sea. The spa leans into organic treatments, and the on-site restaurants run from wood-fired barbecue to elaborate weekend brunches.
