The calm and romantic Jeju Island! 💙
Jeju Island in South Korea is known for its scenic views. It’s a go-to destination for couples on honeymoon, or for those in need of a rejuvenating holiday to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Unlike other cities in Korea, Jeju is smaller and not nearly as busy as Seoul.
There are probably many Muslim tourists who want to visit Jeju, but are unsure if it’s easy to find restaurants that offer Muslim-friendly, Halal or pork free food. If that’s the pickle you’re in, don’t worry, as we have included all that information in this travel guide!
Day One in Jeju 🌊
1. Flight from Malaysia to Jeju ✈️
Firstly, how do you get to Jeju? Well, it’s as simple as hopping on a 6 hour AirAsia X flight to Busan. Once you’ve arrived at Gimhae International Airport (김해국제공항), you’ll continue your journey with a domestic flight straight to Jeju, which is about 1 hour long. On your way to the island, you’ll get a sneak peak of Jeju’s beautiful blue seas from inside the plane!
Prayer rooms at the airport 🌙
- You can find the prayer room of Gimhae International Airport (김해국제공항) at level 3.
- Near Jeju International Airport (제주 국제 공항), you can Lotte Rent-a-Car to use their prayer room.
2. Lunch at Bada Punggyeong (바다풍경) 🫕
After you’ve landed, begin your Jeju adventure with lunch at Bada Punggyeong, a Muslim-friendly restaurant that’s located by a beach. While you’re dining at Bada Punggyeong, don’t miss out on Jeju’s extensive seafood selection. Everything served here is fresh, and you get to feast while soaking in the gorgeous ocean view in front of you.
One of the restaurant’s must-tries is their Seaweed soup with Sea Urchin, especially if you’re visiting during the colder months! Other than that, check out their grilled cutlassfish, as well as the cutlassfish that’s cooked in spicy soy sauce. If you’re a fan of sashimi, you should definitely try their raw cutlassfish. This eatery only serves seafood, so it’s safe to say that it’s pork-free.
Halal status: Everything offered here is Muslim-friendly. No pork or lard. Alcoholic beverages are served here.
Operating hours: Daily, 10AM - 11PM.
Address: 제주특별자치도 제주시 서해안로 654, 513-2 Yongdamsam-dong, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea
Prayer room 🌙

3. Visit Jeju Stone Park (제주돌문화공원) 🪨
Continue your island journey at Jeju Stone Park! This attraction’s popularity stems from its breathtaking nature and the hundreds of stones that have become synonymous with Jeju’s identity. The park is inspired by the island’s traditional culture and the ways in which the people of Jeju used stones for protection.
Each stone has its own unique shape and design. There’s a myth behind these stones; it was Seolmundae Halmang (Grandmother Seolmundae) who created Jeju Island and the Obaek Janggun stones. Apart from learning more about the culture, this park has many spots for you to take some photos, especially the areas that are filled with lush silvergrass!

4. Watch the sunset at Dakmeoru Coastal Road (닭머르해안길) ☀️
The next stop is Dakmeoreu Coastal Road, a stunning coastal walkway in Jeju. Dakmeoreu means chicken head, and this place was named as such as the beach resembles a chicken pecking the ground with its beak. With its huge cliffs, crystal clear blue water, and its magnificent scenery, there’s no doubt that visitors will fall in love with Dakmeoreu Coastal Road!

Finding a Halal or Muslim-friendly breakfast buffer might be difficult, so do check with your hotel beforehand.

Tangerine picking is an activity you can’t miss out on when visiting Jeju. First, visitors (or pickers) will be given a bucket and a pair of shears. Next, the farm staff will teach you how to properly cut the tangerines off from the tree. Then, off you go! The best part is that you can eat your picked fruit as you go.

Jeju Essentials
