Jeju is Korea's volcanic island, and it bathes accordingly: seawater saunas and bathhouses along the coast, spa complexes serving the honeymoon-and-hiking trade, and a shoreline tradition of warming up after the sea that long predates the wellness industry. The full Jeju catalogue is in the iOS app.
"Jeju's grandmothers dove cold water for abalone all their lives. The island understands the warm room."
The island's bathing identity is maritime: saunas and mogyoktang drawing heated seawater, bathhouses in the port towns serving fishermen and the famous haenyeo free-divers whose working lives were built on cold-water endurance, and modern jjimjilbang and resort spas layered over the top for the tourist economy. Hallasan's volcanic geology supplies mineral springs at points around the island, used in local bathhouses rather than grand resorts.
The Jeju venues in the iOS app catalogue the seawater bathhouses, the jjimjilbang, and the coastal saunas around the island. A car helps; the venue pages note which houses sit within the bus network.
Each card links to a full venue page with hours, access notes, type, and editorial context. Cards are ordered alphabetically.
