It features the dormant volcano Hallasan, a semi-tropical forested national park, a coastline with waterfalls, and the longest lava tube in the world.

The Maison Glad Jeju grounds are located in the north-central portion of the island, near the Jeju International Airport. There are two main ways to get to the hotel. The first is from Seoul Incheon Airport to Jeju International Airport.
