VISIT JEJU

Leaving downtown Jeju far behind, Papa Ville is located in a volcanic forest in Jocheon, east of Jeju City. It has a remarkable healing trail that runs through this rocky, yet verdant, area of the island. The air quality is especially healthy, by some estimates 20 times higher in negative ions than in urban areas.

As soon as you arrive, you are greeted by many kinds of plants, flowers and trees. Butterflies flit between blossoming flowers, and traditional Korean buildings dot the grounds. And, of course, there is the basalt walking course on the grounds of Papa Ville that beckons to be explored.

Another aspect of the healing experience provided at Papa Ville are authentic Korean-style wheat noodles and homemade grilled short-rib patties prepared and served in a hanok restaurant. Unlike pre-made noodles, the broth has a distinctly rich flavor.

Decompressing from your stressful urban life is within reach while here. You can focus on a healthy experience and nature program, in particular, a 6-hour “Basalt Forest Wellness School.” This is a healing program that is highly recommended not only for the general public, but also for those who are being treated for illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.

※ The “Basalt Forest Wellness School” program may change without notice, so please inquire in advance prior to visiting.
