South Korea Seollal Holiday Hotels

Seollal is celebrated across South Korea from 16 February until 18 February 2026. 

Travelling in South Korea during the traditional Korean Lunar New Year is a unique experience. At its core, Seollal is a family-focused holiday, and a popular time to travel to hometowns to participate in traditional rituals, feasts, and activities with family.

Whether you're local or visiting, Seollal is a special time to travel in South Korea. From Seoul and Suwon to Jeonju and Jeju Island, there is a buzzing and festive atmosphere in the days leading up to New Year's Day.

While the official three-day holiday is a quiet, family-oriented affair, visitors can join in on the festivities by dressing in traditional hanbok, visiting temples, playing folk games, and dining on traditional New Year's foods, including tteokguk (rice cake soup) and jeon (savoury pancakes).
