South Korea Collection: K-Beauty and Tradition
South Korea Collection: K-Beauty and Tradition
The trip in a nutshell
This is a trip designed and realised entirely by an experienced WeRoad Travel Coordinator. The Coordinator takes care of the whole trip: from defining the itinerary to selecting accommodation and on-site experiences. Via WeRoad website you can book the trip and manage it in your personal area, just like any other WeRoad.
Like Yin and Yang, this itinerary blends opposites—the future of the big city and the past of small temples, the innovation of K-Beauty, and the tradition of meditation. We won’t miss a thing!
We begin in Seoul, exploring the most iconic sites of Korean culture, such as the royal palace— and we’ll do it in style, wearing the hanbok, the traditional Korean attire! Then, we move on to Gyeongju, the ancient capital, where you’ll enjoy a unique experience: sleeping at Bulguksa Temple, participating in Buddhist ceremonies, and meditating alongside monks. Next, we arrive in Busan, where we’ll visit the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village and experience an authentic Korean spa. Our journey wouldn’t be complete without returning to Seoul for a deep dive into the world of K-Beauty, with personalized treatments at specialized clinics, including color analysis, scalp diagnostics, and skincare! These treatments are designed for everyone, regardless of gender or skin type. This is an exclusive journey designed for those who, like you, seek an extraordinary experience. If you join this Collection, you’ll have the chance to discover the best of South Korea, with elegant accommodations, exclusive activities, and top-tier services. Are you ready to experience South Korea like never before?

Seoul and K-Beauty
Welcome back to Seoul!

Today, we focus on skincare with non-invasive treatments. We start with an Aquapeel facial, an innovative and ultra-gentle water-based cleansing treatment that deeply purifies the skin while preventing redness and irritation. After the cleansing, we indulge in a plumping facial massage, which stimulates circulation and enhances skin elasticity!
The included treatments are designed for everyone, regardless of gender! They are suitable for all skin types, non-invasive, and perfect even for sensitive skin—helping to enhance the beauty you already have!

Korean skincare
Color analysis
Today, we focus on enhancing our look! We begin with a personal color analysis, where an expert will use colored fabrics to determine which shades and proportions best harmonize with your complexion and body shape. This will help you choose the best colors, cuts, lengths, and styles to complement your features! Next, we move on to a scalp analysis, where you’ll discover what your scalp needs and receive a customized treatment, including massages, nourishing masks, and hydrating serums.
In the afternoon, it's up to us to decide how to spend our time! We can take advantage of the opportunity to try more advanced treatments, such as laser procedures to achieve the trending "glass skin" look. Or maybe we can visit the Gangnam Style monument. Perhaps a shopping spree is more our style? The afternoon is ours to enjoy to the fullest!

Good morning, Seoul! Today is the last day of treatments designed especially for you, and what we have planned today is a special treatment! A rejuvenating red ginseng treatment lasting 80 minutes, which you can choose to have on your face, body, or feet. But why red ginseng? The extract of red ginseng is the perfect ingredient for treatments that increase elasticity, helping to tone the skin for a firm, smooth, and tight effect.
In the late afternoon, we start getting ready for our final dinner together, where we’ll enjoy delicious Korean dishes! Ramen, soju, and karaoke?
