My one year anniversary is coming up and I'm looking for a nice romantic getaway spot. I'm not too picky and would accept a resort/cabin/hotel as long as it's outside of Seoul but within 3 hours of the city. Only have the weekend so Jeju/overseas destinations are out of the question.

I would prefer something with a spa/massage or other relaxing activities, upscale restaurants are also a plus but not mandatory.

Can anyone suggest something nice? All I can think of so far is Namiseom!

have you thought about going to a ski resort? they are pretty nice because there is snow and usually some spa's and other activities around somewhere.
The one I go to (muju) has a cable car that you can take up into the mountians and there is a park at the top to play about in the snow in.
I think Suanbo Sajo Resort has spa's.

couple that with the pension idea - you got yourself a nice romantic weekend, guaranteed to get you extra brownie points!

Gyung-ju is quite romantic during the winter and far less crowded than the summer months. There are some nice hotels out by the lake with western restaurants or you could opt for a traditional Korean restaurant.

Jeju is one hour by air. You are willing to travel 3 hours out of the city.

Why is Jeju out, based on the fact that you only have the weekend?

Jeju is actually an excellent weekend getaway.

The flight might be an hour, but the bus ride to the airport, security checks and waiting for luggage all add up. I actually went to Jeju last year during the winter and it was a little dull. I feel like it would be a nice spring/summer destination.

Will probably head to a pension, some of those options look really nice, thanks for the suggestions furtakk.
