Icheon Ceramic Spa

Icheon Ceramic Spa integrates South Korea's finest ceramic tradition with its thermal heritage in a destination that reflects the deep cultural connection between the Joseon dynasty's royal celadon and the warm mineral springs of the Gyeonggi region. The sulphurous springs here complement Icheon's identity as the living centre of Korean celadon pottery — a tradition revived in the 20th century after near-extinction and now producing the translucent blue-green glazed ceramics that represent one of Korea's greatest artistic achievements. Icheon's Ceramic Festival in spring attracts pottery lovers and collectors from throughout East Asia, and the juxtaposition of ancient kilns, contemporary ceramic studios and thermal wellness facilities creates a uniquely Korean cultural destination. The wooded hill country of Gyeonggi province, with its temple complexes and traditional Korean farmhouses, provides an appropriately refined natural setting.
