Destination Wellness is an intimate 3-night retreat connecting U.S based spa and hospitality leaders to the source of what’s shaping global wellness.
Experience Seoul firsthand through its wellness rituals and innovations and return inspired to elevate your spa business.
A retreat perfect for: Prestige spa and hospitality leaders shaping guest experience and wellness strategy. U.S.-based buyers. Limited availability.


One global retreat. A group of like-minded leaders. Cultural wellness experiences, connection-driven conversations,
and a renewed sense of personal and professional clarity.




Korea is redefining wellness rituals, guest experience, and beauty innovation on a global scale. Its skincare brands are known for its research and development, blending advanced science with marketing and storytelling. What begins in Seoul often shapes what arrives in the North American market next.
Experiencing this evolution firsthand offers insight into the innovations that will influence U.S. spas, hospitality groups, and consumer expectations in the years ahead. Seoul is not following wellness trends, it is shaping them. Experience Seoul Through the Lens of Live Love Spa. Curated. Guided. Effortless.


Seoul, the vibrant capital of South Korea, hums with energy where neon lights shimmer over the Han River and centuries old palaces rise beneath glass towers. From K beauty to K pop and K dramas, this is the city shaping global culture and consumer demand.
Now experience it alongside your industry peers, thoughtfully guided by Live Love Spa. Immerse yourself in the wellness innovations and cultural rituals influencing what is next, gather over late night street food and karaoke, and build partnerships that move your business forward. You return home inspired, connected, and ahead of the curve while others are still watching the trends from afar.















Event starts at 6:30pm - welcome reception, grounding experience, and first connections with fellow leaders. Ease into the retreat with restorative wellness designed to shake off travel and open your mind for the week ahead.
Morning movement and mindfulness, curated cultural wellness activities, and hands-on sessions that highlight Korea’s most iconic healing traditions. Evening relaxation and inspired conversations over dinner.
Immersive wellness innovation day - wellness experiences and brand activations. Space for deep connection, collaboration, and future-planning conversations.
Event ends at 2:00pm - Closing reflections, intention-setting, and final moments together before departures. You leave restored, focused, and ready to lead forward with new ideas and deeper clarity. (Options to sign up for pre & post excursions after registration)
