Welcome to Sunset (Ilmol) Hanok, a hidden gem nestled in the serene village of Waon in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province. With its close proximity to Waon Beach, renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, and the untouched beauty of Suncheonman Bay’s tidelands, our hanok offers an idyllic retreat for travelers seeking tranquility and rejuvenation.
As you stroll along the hour-long mountain trail that winds through the picturesque hills surrounding Waon Village, you’ll feel a sense of peace and connection with nature. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, our four-kilometer paved road network presents opportunities for invigorating jogs or leisurely bike rides, allowing you to immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings.
Set amidst the natural beauty of Suncheon, the Sunset Hanok embraces the traditional Korean architectural style known as “hanok.” Our hanok takes the form of a ㄷ-shape, with a lush green lawn at its heart. Stepping into the courtyard, you’ll be greeted by a panoramic view of the expansive tideland, framed by the tiled clay fence and the majestic mountains that encircle the village.
Inside our hanok, you’ll find a selection of rooms designed to provide both comfort and an authentic cultural experience. We offer three Korean-style floor bedding rooms and a bedroom, each meticulously crafted with attention to detail. The Nangman and Haengbok rooms feature traditional “gudeul” floor heating, allowing you to admire the scenic beauty and the mesmerizing sunset from the cozy confines of your room. The Sarang and Hwamok rooms, on the other hand, utilize wood-fired heating, ensuring warmth and comfort during the winter season. The Hwamok room, in particular, spans across the main building and the “anchae” (inner chamber), making it an ideal choice for larger groups seeking ample space and traditional Korean-style living.
At Sunset Hanok, we understand the importance of convenience and flexibility during your stay. All of our rooms are equipped with a kitchen sink, induction stove, refrigerator, and cooking utensils, enabling you to prepare meals at your leisure. Additionally, we offer a delightful outdoor barbecue area, perfect for enjoying a flavorful meal with your loved ones. These amenities make our hanok particularly popular among families, providing the ideal setting for bonding and creating lasting memories.
Whether you’re seeking respite from the chaos of daily life or looking to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Korea, Sunset Hanok promises an unforgettable experience. Let the natural beauty and warm, inviting atmosphere of our hanok envelop you as you embark on a journey of serenity and discovery. We look forward to welcoming you to our hanok and becoming a part of your unforgettable travel story.
