Extraordinary places await.

Curated hotels, restaurants & experiences across South Korea and East Asia — booked with your personal expert.

What is Hideaway?

Book extraordinary hotels, restaurants & experiences.

Hideaway is not another booking platform. We are a curated atlas of extraordinary places across South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China — hanok houses in Seoul, temple kitchens in the mountains, hot springs under falling snow.

Every place personally visited by one of our four curators — one for each country. Chosen because someone stood there and felt something they knew you would feel too.

Podo Hotel's grape-cluster roofline against a dusk sky and Jeju's volcanic cones

Curator's pick · South Korea

Podo Hotel

Andeok, Seogwipo, Jeju Island

Architect-designed hotel by Itami Jun

From €380 / night

Seen from above, its run of curving roofs resembles a bunch of grapes — podo in Korean. Their soft lines echo the small volcanic cones scattered across Jeju. A couple of dozen rooms in the green highlands above the south coast, a short walk from Itami Jun's Bangju Church.
