Why Jeju works so well for digital nomads
Jeju is ideal if you want deep focus and regular “nature breaks” — coastal roads, short hikes and quiet cafés instead of city rush.
- Plenty of scenic cafés along the coast with good coffee and views.
- Perfect for longer stays where you can build a routine around work and walks.
- Multiple micro-areas: Jeju City, Aewol, eastern coast, Seogwipo and more.
- Weather and wind can change quickly — but that also makes the island special.
