The best Airbnbs in Busan, South Korea

Neighbourhood: Haeundae

The Vibe: Succession-level luxury.

If you have the budget, this is the flex. Located in the LCT tower (the second tallest building in Korea), these residences offer views that are frankly ridiculous. We’re talking 80th-floor panoramas where the ocean curves along the horizon. This isn't a cosy homestay; it’s a high-end serviced residence with marble floors, chef’s kitchens, and access to infinity pools that seem to drop off the edge of the world.

Best for: High rollers and groups who want to live like chaebol heirs.

Neighbourhood: Gwangalli / Millak

The Vibe: The front row seat.

Gwangalli Beach is famous for one thing: the Diamond Bridge (Gwangandaegyo). VORI-House is designed entirely around this view. The living room features wall-to-wall windows that frame the bridge perfectly. It’s located near the Millak Raw Fish Centre, meaning you can grab fresh sashimi, bring it back, and watch the nightly drone shows from your own private observation deck.

Best for: The ultimate Gwangalli Instagram shot.

Neighbourhood: Songjeong

The Vibe: Surfer’s paradise.

Songjeong is where the locals go to surf. This Airbnb embraces the laid-back, beach-bum vibe but elevates it with modern amenities. Located just 30 seconds from the sand (and the famous toast trucks), it offers unobstructed ocean views and a clean, bright interior. It’s the perfect base if you plan to spend your days in a wetsuit and your nights drinking craft beer.

Best for: Surfers and beach lovers who hate crowds.

Neighbourhood: Cheongsapo

The Vibe: TikTok famous.

You’ve probably seen this view on your "For You" page. This Airbnb is situated right next to the Blue Line Park train tracks, meaning the colourful "Sky Capsule" trains pass right by your window against a backdrop of blue ocean. It’s set in a quiet fishing village known for its grilled shellfish, offering a peaceful break from the neon chaos of the city centre.

Best for: Content creators and train spotters.

Neighbourhood: Yeongdo

The Vibe: Wes Anderson goes to sea.

Yeongdo is Busan’s hipster island—gritty, industrial, and effortlessly cool. Villa de Bonnard captures this spirit perfectly. It’s a vintage-style villa that feels like a film set, filled with antique furniture and warm wood tones. The view of the Busan Harbor Bridge (which lights up like a rainbow at night) from the foot-bath area is the kind of scene that makes you forget to check your phone.

Best for: Romantics and aesthetics chasers.

Neighbourhood: Gwangalli

The Vibe: Japan in Korea.

Busan is geographically close to Japan, and this listing leans into that connection. It’s a "Ryokan-style" apartment featuring tatami mats, low wooden tables, and a serene, minimalist aesthetic—but with the distinctly Korean view of Gwangalli Beach outside. It’s a unique fusion experience that feels zen, clean, and incredibly calming amidst the bustle of the beachfront.

Best for: Those missing Kyoto.

Neighbourhood: Yeongdo

The Vibe: The harbour penthouse.

Another gem in Yeongdo, Yeon Stay is a multi-story loft that maximizes the "port city" atmosphere. The highlight is the rooftop terrace and the massive windows that overlook the shipyard cranes and the glittering bridge. It feels industrial yet cozy, with a lofted bedroom that makes you feel like you're sleeping in a lookout tower.

Best for: Digital nomads needing inspiration.

Neighbourhood: Haeundae

The Vibe: Beachfront minimalism.

While LCT is about height, this suite is about proximity. Located right on the main Haeundae strip, you can practically hear the waves. It’s recently remodeled with a clean, white aesthetic that lets the blue of the ocean do the talking. It comes with free parking—a rarity in Haeundae—and is steps away from the street food markets and the aquarium.

Best for: Families who want to be in the centre of the action.
