Ananti Cove is a coastal resort complex in Gijang, Busan, set within the Osiria Tourism Complex and anchored by a premium hotel with an oceanfront infinity pool and a hot-spring Water House. Beyond the hotel, its public-facing Ananti Town (a lifestyle bookstore, cafes, select shops and a gallery) and a scenic coastal walk make it a popular day trip even for non-guests. The draw is a relaxed seaside atmosphere just outside the city.
Highlights
Eternal Journey - the standout of Ananti Town, a large (~1,650 sqm) lifestyle bookstore and book cafe blending books, exhibits, goods, music and tea
Osiria Coastal Walk - a well-maintained trail of about 2.1km along the shore, passing scenic spots such as Turtle Rock (Geobukbawi)
Oceanfront infinity pool - among the largest ocean-view outdoor pools at Korean five-star hotels (about 40m x 18.5m), primarily for guests/pass holders
Water House hot spring - indoor and outdoor thermal spa drawing on deep underground water, notable for media-art displays while you swim
Ananti Town - an open-air cluster of distinctive restaurants, cafes, select shops and a craft-beer bar that anyone can visit
Good to know
RulesThe infinity pool, Water House hot spring and other swim/spa facilities are generally reserved for hotel guests or paying pass holders. Ananti Town and the coastal walk are open to the public, so confirm access eligibility for your intended activity beforehand.
RulesSome venues have regular closing days (e.g. Mondays, or a specific Tuesday each month for parts of the resort) and different peak/off-peak hours. Check the official site for the latest opening hours and closures before you go.
SafetyThe coastal walk includes rocky, wave-close sections that can be slippery. In strong wind or high swell, stay back from the water and rocks, and take extra care with children and pets.
SeasonDuring peak season (June-September) and on weekends, crowds are heavy, with waits at Eternal Journey and the cafe and busy facilities. Visit on a weekday morning or early in the day to avoid the crush.
MannersThe bookstore, cafes and gallery are quiet cultural spaces. Keep phone calls low, avoid long photo sessions or tripods, and respect indoor-photography and no-touch rules for exhibits.
SafetyAccess roads get heavily congested on weekends, roughly Friday-Sunday 4pm-8pm. If driving, allow extra time for full lots and traffic, and check on-site signage for parking fees and policy.
