South Korea’s blend of cutting-edge modernity and time-honoured traditions has firmly established it as a top destination for Singaporeans seeking diverse and enriching experiences. Whether it’s tracing the footsteps of K-pop icons, seeking solace in breathtaking natural landscapes or indulging in tantalising culinary delights, it’s a place that caters to a wide spectrum of tastes and interests.
Before embarking on your South Korean adventure, finding the ideal retreat is paramount. Homegrown hospitality group Ananti sets itself apart with its design-led luxury hotels and resorts nestled in two of the country’s most sought-after destinations – Seoul and Busan.
Here are three compelling reasons to stay at an Ananti property on your next trip to this East Asia gem.
1. THEIR STRIKING DESIGNS MAKE THE PERFECT BACKDROPS FOR INSTAGRAM SHOTS

If retail therapy or celebrity-spotting is on the cards, the glitzy district of Gangnam is an ideal base for your Seoul sojourn.
Located a hop and a skip from the upscale shopping belt of Apgujeong, Ananti at Gangnam boasts a striking medieval European architectural style, where red-brick arches and sweeping spiral staircases form the perfect backdrop for selfies. Beyond its Instagram-worthy aesthetics, the hotel’s suite-style rooms (known as cabins), featuring a two-storey layout that comfortably accommodates up to four people, ensure ample space for you and your travel companions.
Heading to Busan instead? Anchor yourself at one of Ananti’s two picturesque properties in Gijang, a peaceful coastal district that has made notable appearances in several popular K-dramas.
At Ananti at Busan Village, you’ll discover a resort that melds harmoniously with the surrounding mountains-meet-ocean landscape that Busan is known for. Revel not only in the graceful silhouette of its architecture, but also indulge in spectacular vistas from its many vantage points.
If you prefer being closer to water, make a reservation at the oceanfront Ananti at Busan Cove, where you can soak up expansive views of the sea from the sleek lounge or the private terraces and balconies. The property’s beautiful white curves, reminiscent of rolling waves, grace every corner, from the hallways to the top-floor lounge and bar.
2. THEY HAVE A STRONG “POOL” FACTOR

Those looking for a reset of body and mind won’t need to venture far within the confines of an Ananti property, thanks to the plethora of wellness facilities available onsite.
Clock a few leisurely laps at Ananti at Gangnam’s heated outdoor pool, which sits beneath majestic red-brick arches, or head to the beautiful indoor pool to snap a few poolside selfies. The hotel’s wood-furnished sauna – equipped with hot and cold baths, dry saunas and private showers – is also worth a visit, while its state-of-the-art fitness centre, complete with a juice bar and hyperbaric oxygen chamber (paid reservation required), ensures a holistic approach to well-being.
At Ananti at Busan Village, you can enjoy pool time even during cooler seasons. Its Spring Palace wellness facility features an indoor pool surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the scenic mountains and ocean. If you are planning a stay during summer, two generously-sized outdoor pools ensure that you’ll never have to jostle for space for a refreshing respite.

Over at Ananti at Busan Cove, indulge in a revitalising experience at Water House, a sprawling 6,600 sqm natural hot spring facility that draws mineral water from 600m underground. Here, you’ll also find indoor pools of various lengths and depths, water massage pools, wet and dry saunas, as well as a media art wall. Outside, discover stunning oceanfront infinity pools that stretch right up to the coastline. The pool closest to the sea is heated during winter, so it’s possible to enjoy a relaxing dip complete with stunning ocean views regardless of which season you visit.
3. THEY ARE THE PERFECT BASE FOR IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

Thanks to the choice locations of Ananti’s properties, you’re bound to find plenty to discover, whether you’re embarking on your inaugural visit to the peninsula or returning for the fifth time.
To help guests make the most of their stay, Ananti at Gangnam offers a complimentary drop-off chauffeur service covering destinations within a 3km radius of the hotel. This thoughtful gesture means it’s convenient to go shopping at Galleria, Hyundai Department Store and Haus Dosan, or attend a convention at COEX, which is also home to the famed Starfield Library.
In Busan, both of Ananti’s properties open the door to uncovering the hidden gems of South Korea’s second-largest city. Begin your exploration with a leisurely 1km stroll along the picturesque coast from the iconic Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a beloved spot for locals who gather each morning to witness the sunrise. Make your way to Daebyeon Port, and don’t miss the opportunity to savour fresh seafood delicacies like snow crab and eel at the lively Gijang Market.
Adventure seekers are in luck – the renowned surfing haven of Songjung Beach is a five-minute ride from Ananti’s resorts. Moreover, Songjung Station serves as a gateway to one of Busan’s most popular destinations – the Haeundae Blueline Park – where you can board the Beach Train and continue the scenic journey aboard the Sky Capsule. Commencing your journey from Songjung Station is a strategic move to circumvent the often lengthy queues at the alternate starting point of Mipo Station.
For days with nothing on the itinerary, Ananti’s Busan resorts, connected by a handy shuttle service, offer a raft of activities. Visit the Ananti Culture Club, an art gallery located in Ananti at Busan Village, or attend an outdoor live concert, like the electrifying Jazz de Ananti. Alternatively, while away a few hours browsing L.P. Crystal’s chic boutiques or checking out local produce at Mobydick Market.
Gourmands should make time to visit Ananti Town, located within Ananti at Busan Cove. Here, diverse dining options range from photogenic cafes to oceanfront restaurants serving up Korean and European cuisine. You can also make your way to the top floor of the hotel, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and expertly shaken cocktails with stellar sea views at McQUEEN’s Bar.
Presenting a quintessential fusion of luxury, wellness and cultural immersion, Ananti’s properties in South Korea ensure a stay that is as memorable as it is comfortable.
