Lotte Hotel Jeju recently opened He:on, the largest premium outdoor heated pool on Jeju Island. After five months of renovation, the hotel has upgraded its swimming pool areas and now offers guests a first class getaway equipped with all the features of a luxury pool, spa and garden.

He:on embodies an oasis of complete relaxation, refreshment and recovery, while still providing guests with opportunities for exciting fun for the whole family with majestic waterfront scenery, premium massage therapy packages provided by SK-II therapists, and the splash and play waterslide and pool area for the kids.
