Recently, as the trend of "staycation" (Stay + vacation), which involves relaxing close to home, is gaining popularity, Jeollanam-do is drawing attention by recommending Yeosu, Wando, Jindo, and Haenam as staycation destinations themed around the sea.

Yeosu is an ideal place for a staycation, boasting many luxury hotels and resorts set against the backdrop of the sea. Guests can enjoy the breathtaking views of the archipelago from ocean-view rooms while watching the sunrise and sunset. Attractions such as the Yeosu Marine Cable Car, cruises, night food stalls, and Dolsan Bridge offer romantic experiences of the winter sea at night. The city is also famous for its culinary delights, such as Gatkimchi and various seafood dishes.

Wando is a leading marine wellness tourism destination in Korea. At the Marine Healing Center located on Sinji Myeongsasimni Beach, visitors can experience 16 different healing programs, including underwater Nordic walking and bubble massages using seawater. Another advantage is the variety of accommodations near the beach, including ocean-view pool villas, resorts, and Hanok stays.

Jindo is recommended for travelers who wish to enjoy a relaxing break in a tranquil atmosphere. Resorts and pensions near Jindo Bridge and Gagye Beach are perfect for a quiet healing staycation. There are also many attractions to explore, such as Sebang Sunset Observatory, the Myeongnyang Battle Memorial Hall, Unrimsanbang, and the Jindogae Theme Park. Visitors can indulge their senses with dishes like grilled sea eel, Jindo seafood set menus, and the traditional liquor Hongju.

Haenam, located at the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, enjoys a relatively mild climate even in winter, making it an ideal year-round travel destination. The area features beautiful scenery where the archipelago, Duryunsan, and Dalmasan mountains come together. There are many Hanok hotels and charming pensions, offering a relaxed atmosphere for a leisurely stay. Local specialties such as Haenam sweet potato bread, chicken courses, and Spanish mackerel sashimi are also available for visitors to enjoy.

Shim Woojeong, Director of Tourism at Jeollanam-do, said, "The four regions selected in January are areas rich in accommodations and food, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the archipelago while relaxing. We hope you will escape the hustle and bustle of the city, heal your tired body and mind by enjoying the winter sea of Jeollanam-do, and also savor delicious local food."
