Why South Korea
South Korea is known for its beauty treatments, but there is so much more to discover. Centuries of history sit alongside a modern food, fashion, and design scene, and every neighborhood has its own character.Spend an afternoon exploring a palace, browse independent shops and galleries, visit a traditional market, or discover a new restaurant tucked away on a side street.The beauty industry is a big part of what makes South Korea different. Korean skincare has influenced the way the world thinks about beauty, and Seoul has become a destination for women looking for the latest treatments and technology.For us, the appeal is experiencing all of that alongside the food, culture, and everyday life that make South Korea such a fascinating place to visit.

안녕하세요!
I am Mariana, the founder of Areum Society. I first went to South Korea to celebrate my 40th birthday, and I quickly fell in love with the country. I loved the food, the energy of Seoul, the neighborhoods, and the way beauty and wellness are such a natural part of everyday life.Since that first trip in October 2022, I have returned to South Korea every year, sometimes twice a year, spending time in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju. I personally visit and evaluate the hotels, restaurants, beauty clinics, treatments, and experiences we recommend, and over the years I have built relationships with clinics, doctors, hotels, and local providers. These relationships have allowed me to secure preferential pricing and special perks, discover recommendations that visitors may not otherwise find, and create a smoother experience for our guests.Areum Society grew from that experience. I wanted to create the kind of trip I would want to take myself, carefully planned, easy to navigate, and filled with experiences worth traveling for. The beauty treatments are an important part of the journey, but so are the restaurants, the culture, the neighborhoods, and everything in between.I have spent the past five years getting to know South Korea, and now I want to share what I have discovered with other women.
