Wellness & Beauty Program
A week immersed in Seoul’s most considered beauty and wellness rituals, from personalized skin and color analysis to expert-led treatments, head spa, bodywork, and traditional Korean practices.
Color AnalysisA private session at Seoul's most respected personal color specialist. Their 16-category diagnostic system goes far beyond the standard "warm vs. cool" split — you leave with a body type analysis, makeup consultation, and a personalized color guide.
Luxury SpaA three-hour signature session at one of Seoul's premier wellness centers. Two to three therapists using five devices — including InMode radio frequency and precision lymphatic technology — for a deeply restorative, visibly sculpting full-body treatment.
Rejuran Skin BoosterA signature Korean treatment using polynucleotides (salmon DNA fragments) that stimulate cellular skin repair — strengthening the barrier, boosting collagen, and calming inflammation from within.
Head & Scalp TreatmentsA signature Korean scalp treatment developed from 1,000 years of hair care traditions — signature ingredients and advanced penetration technology deep-clean pores, revive dormant hair follicles, and restore scalp health from within.
Holistic Bodywork
A holistic Korean bodywork session that assesses spinal alignment and muscular imbalances — using targeted stretching, deep tissue work, and gentle adjustments to restore posture and release tension held deep in the body.
Traditional Mugwort Steam
A time-honored Korean wellness ritual — seated over gently burning medicinal mugwort to warm the lower abdomen, improve circulation, and promote radiant skin. Long favored for its warming, restorative effect.

The Rhythm of The Week
-
Land in Seoul and be met at Incheon Airport by your English-speaking guide, who will take you privately to Josun Palace to settle in. In the evening, the group gathers for a wellness-themed welcome dinner — a soft, considered introduction to the week ahead.
-
A private morning at Seoul's most respected personal color specialist — mapping your palette through their proprietary 16-category system. Curated shopping through Myeongdong and Insadong follows, with a playful stop at Life Four Cuts, Seoul's iconic photo booth.
The afternoon: a signature session at one of Seoul's premier luxury spas — a golki-style treatment that drains post-flight bloating, sculpts the face, and contours the body, layered with radio-frequency technology and a soothing collagen mask to finish.
-
A morning through Seoul's cultural heart — Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village — with a traditional knot-making session at Donglim Knot Workshop woven in. Lunch: a traditional temple cuisine experience — one of Korea's most refined and quiet culinary traditions.
The afternoon: your first skin clinic consultation at one of Aneue's hand-picked dermatology clinics, followed by your Rejuran skin booster session — Korea's most trusted cellular skin renewal treatment.

-
A morning at Starfield Library — Gangnam COEX's soaring, book-lined atrium — followed by a quiet stop at Bongeunsa Temple. Lunch: a traditional Korean dining experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most U.S., Canadian, and E.U. passport holders do not need a visa for stays in South Korea under 90 days. You may need to apply for a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) online before arrival — a simple form processed within 24–72 hours.
We recommend a passport with at least 6 months of validity from your return date. For the most current visa requirements based on your citizenship, please check the official Korean consulate website in your country closer to the trip.
-
The trip is limited to 10 guests to keep the experience intimate and personalized. It's designed for beauty and wellness–curious travelers looking for insider access to Seoul's best clinics, spas, and cultural experiences. Guests typically travel solo, with a friend, or with a partner. All are welcome — the only shared thread is a genuine interest in K-beauty and Korean wellness culture.
-
Absolutely — double occupancy is welcomed and offered at a preferred per-person rate. Bring a friend, partner, or fellow beauty enthusiast. Each guest applies individually.
-
This is a moderate-activity trip. Expect to walk 3–5 miles per day across cultural sites, shopping districts, and Seoul's beauty and wellness destinations. Some locations include stairs or cobblestone paths — comfortable walking shoes are essential. If you have any mobility concerns, please let us know at booking so we can plan accordingly.
-
Not at all. You'll have English-speaking Seoul experts with you throughout the trip, plus Aneue Concierge provides in-person English translation at every clinic visit — the two places where language matters most. Most staff at Josun Palace, restaurants, and shopping destinations also speak English.
-
Individual results vary — this is true for any beauty or wellness treatment. What we can promise: every clinic on the itinerary is personally vetted by Aneue Concierge, treatments are performed by licensed Korean specialists at the top of their field, and each guest receives a personal consultation before any treatment to ensure the right approach for their skin, body, and goals. Please disclose any medical conditions, allergies, or medications during your pre-trip consultation with Aneue.
-
Yes — the included treatments are a curated foundation, but there's flexibility. During your pre-trip consultation with Aneue Concierge, you can discuss your personal goals and add treatments beyond the itinerary (such as Ultherapy, additional injectables, or specialty procedures). Additional treatments are at your own expense, plus an additional Aneue consultation fee for the extra coordination and vetting. Aneue will help you decide what's right for your goals and handle all bookings with the clinics.
-
A $2,500 non-refundable deposit is required at booking to secure your spot. The remaining balance is due within 14 days of application confirmation.
Because this trip involves reserved hotel blocks, personalized clinic bookings, and pre-committed guide, transfer, and dining schedules, all payments are non-refundable once made.
If you need to cancel and Trouvé Travel Co. is able to fill your spot from a waitlist, a partial refund (minus the deposit and administrative fees) may be offered at our discretion.
We strongly recommend Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) travel insurance to protect your investment.
