Daily Busan
The 2026 Ocean Healing Program restores your body and mind
Every weekend from May to October, the 2026 Ocean Healing Program invites you to participate in physical and mental wellness activities at waterfront locations citywide.
Now in its sixth year, the Ocean Healing Program has become a valuable part of Busan’s culture and provides citizens and visitors with opportunities for relaxation and healing at the city’s seven beaches and Dongbaekseom Island.
This year’s edition features four main activities:
- Beach Yoga: Bask in the weekend morning sunshine at the beach. In this open-air setting with a pleasant sea breeze, you can relax your body and focus on your inner self.
- Sunset Pilates: Enjoy a unique outdoor Pilates session as the sky undergoes an enchanting transformation. You’ll feel like part of a living masterpiece as the sky shifts from blue to pink, orange and purple.
- Ocean Running: Run along Busan’s iconic coastlines, including Gwangalli, Haeundae and Mipo! After a 5-kilometer run, participants can enjoy a light meal provided by beloved local eateries.
- Singing Bowl Lounge: Focus on the vibrations and resonating sounds of the singing bowls. Immersed in these calming tones, you can find stability and distance yourself from the city’s bustle. A welcome smoothie is offered to those who pre-register.
Each session has a participation fee of 10,000 won and is limited to small groups of up to 30 people. Additionally, special sessions offer refreshing, nature-infused experiences such as Beach Barre, a trendy fitness class using ballet bars, and Sound Walking, where you collect the sounds of nature with professional audio recording devices.
In addition, the Busan Ocean Retreat is a two-day, 1-night experience that combines three wellness activities, meals, a spa visit, a yacht trip and other tourism programs for one price.
