Dr. Terika's Seoul Glow Beauty and Wellness Getaway May 2027

Overview

This immersive journey to Seoul is designed for travelers who want more than sightseeing. This is a curated beauty and wellness escape set in one of the world’s most dynamic, innovative cities, where ancient traditions and cutting-edge trends exist side by side.

Over the course of the week, you’ll experience Seoul through a refined, intentional lens. Think restorative wellness rituals, access to Korea’s globally admired beauty culture, thoughtful moments of reflection, and curated cultural experiences that allow you to slow down while still feeling inspired.

Days are balanced between guided experiences and personal time to explore. You’ll discover why South Korea is considered a global leader in skincare, longevity, and holistic well-being while enjoying Seoul’s vibrant neighborhoods, cuisine, and design-forward spaces. From peaceful temples and wellness sanctuaries to modern beauty studios and serene cafés, every experience is chosen to nourish both body and mind.

This trip is ideal for travelers who value self-care, curiosity, and elevated group experiences. It’s not rushed. It’s not overwhelming. It’s intentional, restorative, and deeply memorable.

By the end of the journey, you’ll return home feeling refreshed, inspired, and reconnected to yourself, with a new appreciation for beauty and wellness as a lifestyle, not a trend.
