Seoul, South Korea

Ocelas Spa sits on the 23rd floor of Park Hyatt Seoul within the hotel's Park Club, a roughly 600-square-meter urban wellness complex in the heart of Gangnam. The spa's underlying philosophy is built around seeking harmony between people and nature, with internationally trained therapists using organic ingredients along with naturally sourced stones and herbs to bring a sense of grounded, elemental calm to treatments high above the city. Three private treatment rooms offer undisturbed rest, and guests can wind down afterward at the on-site citrus bar, which serves a selection of Korean-inspired refreshments. The Park Club as a whole positions Ocelas Spa alongside a full suite of wellness facilities rather than as a standalone amenity: a fitness studio equipped with Technogym and cardiovascular machinery, personal training available through the club concierge, a dry sauna and steam sauna, and a striking infinity granite indoor pool on the upper floors with floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping Seoul skyline views. The treatment menu itself spans signature massages, facials and body treatments, with the spa's broader "Peaceful and Bliss" experience concept combining traditional healing technique with more modern wellness practice to restore balance across mind, body and spirit. Access is somewhat exclusive by design — the Park Club, including Ocelas Spa, is available to hotel guests and annual members, reinforcing its identity as a private urban retreat rather than a public day spa. Ocelas operates as a broader spa brand across several Hyatt properties in Korea (including sister locations at Park Hyatt Busan and Andaz Seoul Gangnam), each adapting the same nature-inspired, ingredient-led philosophy to its own setting, but at Park Hyatt Seoul specifically the emphasis is on a quiet, members'-club-style sanctuary tucked within one of the city's most recognised luxury hotels.

Gangwon-do, South Korea

Park Roche Resort & Wellness sits at the foot of Gariwangsan Mountain in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, South Korea, surrounded by the Baekdudaegan mountain range and designated one of the region's top wellness destinations for 2024-2025. The resort's name draws on local legend and language in equal measure: it's set in Sugam-ri, meaning "overnight stay on a rock," referencing a story of a Samhan-period king who fell into deep sleep there while fleeing war, while "roche" itself means "rock" in French — together reflecting the resort's central focus on restoring deep, restorative sleep. Guest rooms are designed with this in mind, featuring premium mattresses and adjustable lighting specifically calibrated to support restful sleep. The resort's Wellness Club, located on the second floor, houses a yoga room, group exercise room, gym, meditation room, library, a dedicated "Sugam Lab," and spa facilities, complemented by a large-scale meditation space and mindfulness areas on the first floor and basement. Wellness programming spans yoga, Pilates, foam roller therapy, aqua fitness classes that make use of water's natural buoyancy and resistance, walking meditation through Jeongseon's untouched natural surroundings, Sugam meditation aimed specifically at improving sleep quality, and mindfulness sessions focused on breath awareness and mood stabilization. Spa treatments include Swedish massage, body scrubs, aromatherapy and body treatments, alongside hot spring bathing, sauna and steam room facilities, and seven hot tubs with mountain views. Beyond structured wellness activities, the resort layers in hands-on cultural and culinary experiences: farm visits where guests join the resort's chefs harvesting vegetables or feeding cattle, and cooking classes teaching regional specialties like Gangwon-do's famous soft tofu, including tofu-making and tofu cookie preparation. Dining throughout the resort emphasizes nutritious meals built from locally sourced ingredients, designed to nourish rather than simply satisfy. An outdoor campfire zone and glass house let guests take in Jeongseon's distinct four seasons, rounding out a wellness identity that blends sleep-focused hospitality, structured mind-body programming, and a strong connection to the surrounding mountain landscape.
