A year-round destination for travel with friends and family, Jeju Island also hosts the world-class Jeju Food & Wine Festival and offers a colourful array of local cuisine.

The first of its kind on the island, Jeju Shinhwa World will be one of Korea's most dynamic resort developments, encompassing high-end hotel facilities including the world-class Four Seasons Resort, upscale resort condominiums and villas, and retail space for international and K-fashion brands. The integrated development will also feature an array of entertainment options including a waterpark, theme park, international-style casino and K-pop entertainment centre.

"Jeju Shinhwa World is set to be one of the most popular leisure and entertainment destinations in north-east Asia. We are honoured to have Four Seasons as a luxury hotel brand in our accommodation offering. As a world-class luxury hospitality company, I am confident that Four Seasons will offer distinguished guests a premium hospitality experience at Jeju Shinhwa World." says Yang Zhihui, Chairman and Executive Director of Landing International Development Limited.
