Boryeong on the Yellow Sea coast of South Chungcheong province is internationally recognized for its extraordinary Boryeong Mud Festival — one of Asia's largest and most exuberant summer festivals drawing over 2.2 million visitors to bathe, wrestle, and play in the mineral-rich cosmetic mud dredged from the tidal flats of the West Sea coast. The Boryeong Mud Spa Resort channels bicarbonate mineral spring water into therapeutic bathing facilities year-round, complementing the area's famous cosmetic mud — rich in germanium, bentonite, and skin-nourishing minerals — that has made Boryeong both a therapeutic and cosmetic wellness destination of genuine international recognition. The combination of bicarbonate mineral spring bathing, signature cosmetic mud treatments using Boryeong's celebrated tidal flat mud, and the Yellow Sea coastal landscape of tidal islands and pine-backed beaches creates a uniquely Korean coastal spa and mud wellness experience with proven skin beauty benefits.

Insider tip — World-famous for its annual Mud Festival, Boryeong extends its mineral tradition into this coastal spa resort drawing on sodium-chloride thermal waters at 40°C. The Yellow Sea tidal flats surrounding the city are mineral-rich, and the spa waters reflect this coastal geochemistry. Summer festival season brings international visitors who combine mud bathing on Daecheon Beach with indoor hot spring facilities. The gentle tidal peninsula landscape provides a refreshing contrast to Korea's interior highland spa towns.
