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.

Taeha Coastal Trail is made up of trachyte and agglomerate rocks, and boasts beautiful coastal scenery due to the unique topography eroded by the wind. It is also where one can observe tafoni, a honeycomb-shaped rocks that weathered by the reaction of salts contained in sea breezes.
By taking the Taeha Hyangmok Tour Monorail for about 6 minutes and walking along the trail for about 20 minutes, visitors will reach Ulleungdo Lighthouse (Taeha Lighthouse) and the Hyangmok Geo Skywalk.

Hakpo is known for its beautiful coast as well as the remains that record the frontier history of Ulleungdo Island. There are agglomerate, tuff, and trachyte layers along the Hakpo Coast. The relatively hard trachyte layer that cannot be eroded by waves and remains has formed a cape (a large piece of land sticking out into the sea), while the agglomerate and tuff layers, which are subject to weathering and erosion, have formed a bay. Additionally, sea cliffs are found along the coast. As the lower part of the vertical columnar joints erodes, the upper part of the cliff collapses due to gravity, creating a steep cliff as the process is repeated. Visitors can also enjoy the atmosphere of Hakpo at the nearby Hakpo Campground.
