Picolo recommends · Hotel in Busan, South Korea
Paradise Hotel Busan
Step out of the lobby and your feet are in the sand of Haeundae, with steam rising off a heated pool that looks across the sea.
The sand of Haeundae starts where the hotel garden ends. In the morning the beach belongs to joggers and a few swimmers, and the outdoor pool, heated all year, keeps its view of the open sea even when the water is too cold for most.
Inside, the spa draws on natural hot spring water, a Korean tradition worth an hour of your stay. A good share of the rooms come with a balcony over the water, so ask for one when you book.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Paradise Hotel Busan
We picked it as the Busan beach hotel for families and couples who want the sea without a taxi ride. Few addresses in the city let you go from breakfast to the sand in a couple of minutes.
Haeundae is the busiest beach in Korea, and in July and August it fills with umbrellas from end to end. If you want quiet, come outside high summer or look at a hotel away from the sand.
What you get
- Direct access to Haeundae beach
- Outdoor pool heated all year, facing the sea
- Spa with hot spring water
- Many rooms with a sea-view balcony
- Sunset walks to Dongbaekseom island

The outdoor pool is heated, so a swim with a view of the sea works in the colder months too. The hot spring spa is another way to warm up.
