Weekenders creates wellness spaces and experiences in Gangneung and Seoul, designed for complete relaxation. From yoga and surf retreats by the sea and forest in Gangneung to a charmingly renovated hostel and bar, and a private spa in Seoul (Weekenders Bath), we provide the perfect setting for those moments when you need to escape and recharge. Experience a healthy, free-spirited lifestyle with us.

Weekenders is a small sanctuary for wellness enthusiasts. Once an old inn, it has been lovingly renovated by surfers drawn to Gangneung's beautiful coastline. The hostel features a cozy bar on the first floor, Broken Hearts Club, and four thoughtfully designed rooms on the second floor. From May to November, we offer surfing and yoga retreats, inviting you to embrace a free-spirited, healthy lifestyle. Guests can enjoy discounted classes at our partner yoga studios and surf shops, ensuring a fulfilling wellness experience. Every corner of Weekenders is designed to soothe your soul. Discover a space filled with lush plants, curated art, inspiring books, and music that changes with the rhythm of the day. Start your morning with a delicious local breakfast or unwind at our bar (closed on Sundays and Mondays). Our curated book collection, featuring unique titles from local independent bookstores and handpicked recommendations from renowned creators, is perfect for quiet moments of relaxation. Pair your favorite read with a signature cocktail or craft beer for the ultimate recharge.

Located just a 2-hour train ride from Seoul, Weekenders is a short walk from Gangneung Station, offering unmatched accessibility. Within 5 minutes, you can immerse yourself in the city’s rich culinary scene or discover hidden gems in vibrant hotspots. Take a stroll down Wolhwa Street or visit nearby attractions like the Central Market, Imdang-dong Cathedral, or the Gangneung City Museum of Art.

If you're in the mood for the sea, a 10-minute taxi ride brings you to Gyeongpo Beach or Anmok Beach, where you can relax with the ocean breeze and a coffee in hand.
