Located in Goseong, Gangwon-do, Sono Felice Delpino is one of the most practical resorts for winter travel in Korea.
With Seoraksan’s rugged mountain scenery behind it and the East Sea nearby, Delfino works well as a winter basecamp rather than just a place to stay.

Why Delfino Works Especially Well in Winter

Winter in Gangwon-do can be harsh, but Delfino minimizes unnecessary movement.
Most activities are concentrated inside the resort, making it ideal for cold-weather travel.

  • Indoor hot spring facilities
  • Outdoor infinity pool operating even in winter
  • Wide resort grounds with mountain views
  • Easy access to Sokcho, Seoraksan, and the East Sea

This is a resort designed for staying warm while still enjoying winter scenery.


Indoor Hot Springs: The Real Winter Highlight

Delfino’s indoor hot springs are the most reliable feature during winter.

  • Fully indoor bathing areas
  • Comfortable regardless of weather conditions
  • Suitable for families and older travelers
  • Ideal after outdoor sightseeing or long drives

For many winter travelers, this is the main reason Delfino is chosen over smaller accommodations.


Outdoor Infinity Pool & Hot Spring Experience

The outdoor infinity pool remains open during winter season.

  • Warm thermal water contrasting with cold winter air
  • Views toward the Seoraksan mountain range
  • Calm atmosphere rather than a large-scale water park

The pool area is not large, but it works well as a scenic experience point, especially in winter.


Golf Course on Site

Delfino also has an on-site golf course.

  • Resort-integrated golf facilities
  • Courses shaped by natural mountain terrain
  • Often combined with accommodation for golf-focused trips

Winter operations may vary depending on weather conditions, but Delfino is also used as a stay-and-play golf destination during shoulder seasons.


Getting to Delfino: Renting a Car Is Recommended

Although public transportation is possible, renting a car is the most convenient option.

  • Sokcho to Delfino: approximately 20–25 minutes by car
  • Easy access to Seoraksan, coastal areas, and Sokcho city
  • More flexibility during winter weather conditions

The most straightforward route is:
Seoul → Sokcho → Delfino (by rental car or taxi)


Who Delfino Is Best For

  • Winter travelers who want to minimize outdoor transfers
  • Families looking for indoor facilities
  • Travelers combining Seoraksan and Sokcho
  • Anyone prioritizing hot springs and rest over packed sightseeing

Final Thought

Delfino is not about doing everything.
It is about staying warm, moving less, and letting winter scenery come to you.

For a winter trip in Gangwon-do that balances comfort and landscape, Delfino remains a solid and practical choice.
