Curated beauty & wellness journeys to South Korea
Welcome to Areum Society
Areum Society brings beauty treatments, cultural experiences, and exceptional dining together in one carefully planned week in Seoul. Every detail, from your hotel to your dinner reservations, is handled before you arrive. Your itinerary includes one beauty or wellness treatment each morning, chosen from a curated menu of the city's top clinics. Afternoons are set aside for cultural experiences, from palace visits to the city's most iconic neighborhoods. Dinner reservations are made at some of Seoul's best restaurants, from Korean barbecue to omakase. Private transportation is provided between each activity, along with private transfers to and from the airport.
Why South Korea
South Korea is known for its beauty treatments, but there is so much more to discover. Seoul combines centuries of history with a modern food, fashion, and design scene, and every neighborhood has its own character. You can spend an afternoon exploring a palace, browse independent shops and galleries in Seongsu, 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. But for us, the appeal is being able to experience that alongside everything else the city has to offer.

Client Reviews
Paula P.
Mariana helped this very indecisive client navigate options with ease and clarity. She was patient when I changed plans and had questions, and she was always very transparent about what I was getting/sacrificing with different options. She worked with my budget and realities. And at the end, when I was still unsure about properties, she helped me navigate the pros/cons of each and helped me make a decision. Mariana was the one who helped me land on The Palms as the best choice and she was absolutely right! She even called the hotel and told them we were celebrating a birthday and anniversary and every single night there were little treats waiting for us in our room, champagne at dinner, cakes galore. I will 100% be reaching out to book with Mariana again!

If you are looking for someone trustworthy to handle your travel needs, Mariana Coelho is the person! Mariana helped book travel accommodations for a group of artists performing at a music festival. From booking on an extremely tight timeline, to an almost immediate response time when we were required to stay an extra night during the trip, Mariana was one of the most professional, responsible and resourceful travel advisors I have worked with and I am looking forward to using her again in the future!

Working with Mariana Coelho as our travel agent made our Alaska cruise experience truly seamless and memorable. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and curated the perfect excursions for us. The whale-watching tour in Juneau was absolutely incredible, and the trolley experience in Ketchikan was equally enjoyable—both had fantastic, knowledgeable guides who made each moment special. After our cruise, she arranged a hotel stay in Seattle and even managed to secure an extra room for us at the last minute, with no stress on our end. Mariana made traveling feel effortless, and her dedication truly elevated our entire trip. I can’t imagine planning another trip without her help.

안녕하세요!I am Mariana, the founder of Areum Society. I want to share with you a little bit about my story and how everything started.I went to South Korea for the first time to celebrate my 40th birthday. I wanted this trip to be a special one. After all, you only turn 40 once. I had always wanted to visit Asia, and I was deciding between Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Japan required more time than I had off from work, and Singapore did not need as many days. South Korea just felt right. I knew I was going to have a wonderful time no matter where I went, but what I did not expect was how much I was going to enjoy every single moment there.I loved the food, the energy of the city, the kindness of the people. I loved that the streets felt safe at any hour and that the subway was spotless and always on time. More than anything, I loved how I felt about myself when I was there. I liked it so much that as soon as I got home, I started planning my next trip.On my second visit, I decided to try beauty treatments for the first time. I had never had anything done before, but I felt confident that South Korea was the right place to start. The level of technology and the expertise of the doctors I found there is the kind you do not come across often. I was not trying to look different. I just wanted to feel a little more confident about the way I looked. Caring for myself in that way felt empowering, and that feeling surprised me more than the results did. I wanted other women to feel that way too, and that is why I founded Areum Society.If you have been curious about South Korea and what a week there could look like for you, you are in the right place. Welcome. Hope to meet you in Seoul.
