Yonaluky Luxury Resort

A nice place to unwind, right in Heyri Village.

It’s a nice private spot for relaxing and playing in the water, with a distinctive feel. The catch is you need to order delivery instead of cooking, and prices are a little high. The water starts out warm, which is great, but after about four hours it cools because it isn’t maintained. By morning it can feel a bit chilly for swimming. Still, it’s not a bad option for a family outing during COVID-19.

The staff are welcoming, and the warm water makes it easy to relax here. I came back after seven months, but it still felt as familiar as if I’d been here last week. You can use the outdoor spa until 10 PM on your first night. Be sure to buy groceries ahead of time. Deluxe rooms include three bottles of water.

Dinner was delicious, especially the bulgogi bibimbap, which felt like a warm home-cooked meal. The place is clean and cozy, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The spa at 40 degrees was just right, and being able to use it until 10 PM was great. The shower had good water pressure too. I was completely satisfied and really relaxed. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it, and I think it’d be great with family or friends.
