Originally a caldera formed on the northern Seonginbong Peak, Nari Basin is the only flatland on Ulleungdo Island. The lava flow from the volcanic eruption created two other craters, which were turned into Nari Village in the northeast and Albong Village, now uninhabited, in the northwest. Records were found that the island was inhabited since the Usan-guk period, but the islanders had to move out of the island in the earlier Joseon period until a new settlement policy was enforced later on.

Healing Stay Kosmos is located at the edge of a cliff next to Songgotsan Mountain in Ulleungdo Island. The exterior is in a spiral shape, reflecting the trajectories of the sun and moon. The six-vault structure, which extends outward in a spiral shape from the center of the building, is the most essential element—each of the vaults form an independent space inside. Due to the spiral shapes, the entrance to the vaults temporarily blocks the landscape outside; however, as the guest enters further into the vault, the view to the surrounding landscape gradually opens up, and each vault reveals a unique view. This allows every guest to naturally immerse themselves into the hotel’s beautiful architecture and the surrounding landscape. The hotel also observes strict hygiene and disinfection to ensure the safety and convenience of guests. The maintains the cleanliness of every room and bedding every day. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the hotel staff regularly ventilate and disinfect all facilities and a designated disinfection and quarantine manager strictly monitors the staff’s compliance with the social distancing manual. The hotel also provides a complimentary healing kit, which includes a hand sanitizer (as well as a trekking map and specialty snacks from Ulleongdo Island), to all guests.

Turtle Rock was given its name for its rock formation that resembles the shape of turtles climbing out to the rock. The Turtle Rock is a volcanic rock that formed from the molten lava from Ulleungdo Island's early volcanic activity. Solidified lava flow as well as chilled margins can still be seen along the rock's slope. The western cliff of the rock is Tonggumi Village, where it serves as a home to wild juniper trees. On the northwestern side of the rock is Daepunggam Village, also a natural habitat for wild juniper trees. Both sites were designated as Natural Monuments for their significance. The juniper trees here are known to have a slower growth rate than those under normal condition due to rough winds.
