Daea Ulleung Resort

Gyeongsangbuk-do


The island’s most expensive property, this impressive resort has amazing mountaintop views of the sea, but the rooms are overpriced for what they are: unexciting and smallish, albeit perfectly comfortable and clean. From mid-July to August there’s an outdoor swimming pool, and room prices spike. The hotel is in Sadong-ri, a ₩5000 taxi ride from Dodong-ri.
