Introduction

Tucked away on Taiwan’s unspoilt Green Island, off the coast of Taitung County, 夏卡爾民宿 (Chagall Homestay) is a laid-back seaside escape that balances intimate hospitality with easy access to Green Island’s most iconic natural attractions. Far from the crowds of mainland Taiwan, this cozy homestay lives up to its artistic namesake, framing the island’s dramatic ocean views like a living painting. Whether you’re here for adventure, quiet relaxation, or a deep dive into Green Island’s unique volcanic landscape, 夏卡爾民宿 offers the perfect home base for your Taitung getaway.

Hotel Overview

Located at No. 48, Wenquan, Green Island Township, Taitung County, 夏卡爾民宿 puts you steps from the island’s famous ocean hot springs and rugged coastline. All rooms come with en-suite private bathrooms, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi across the entire property, with non-smoking rooms and spacious family rooms available to suit solo travelers, couples, and groups alike.

On-site amenities cater to every type of traveler: enjoy grilled seafood feasts at the property’s barbecue facilities, unwind in the lush garden, or upgrade to a private ocean-view terrace for a small extra fee. The on-site coffee shop serves freshly brewed local blends and complimentary seasonal fruit, with breakfast served in-room and special dietary menus available on request for an extra charge. For adventure lovers, the homestay arranges on-site activities including bicycle rental, snorkeling, canoeing, and fishing, with paid options for diving, guided hiking, and access to a children’s play area. Convenient services include luggage storage, tourist information, foreign currency exchange, fast check-in/out, paid shuttle and rental car services, and airport transfers, though guests should note there is no on-site parking.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions lie within easy reach of the homestay:

• Jhaorih Hot Spring: Just a five-minute walk from 夏卡爾民宿, this rare seaside saltwater hot spring is one of only three of its kind in the world. Soak in 60°C mineral-rich waters as you watch the sun set over the Pacific, a uniquely magical experience that draws visitors year-round.
• Green Island Lighthouse: Perched on the island’s northern cape, this 1938 lighthouse offers sweeping panoramic views of the island’s volcanic coastline and open ocean. The short hike to the top winds through coastal shrubland, with plenty of spots for whale watching between spring and early summer.
• Human Rights Memorial Park: A short 10-minute bicycle ride from the homestay, this moving historic site occupies the former Green Island Prison, where political prisoners were held during Taiwan’s martial law era. The preserved prison cells and peaceful coastal memorial park offer a quiet moment for reflection amid the island’s natural beauty.

Travel Tips

Green Island is accessible by 45-minute ferry from Taitung’s Fugang Harbor, and 夏卡爾民宿 can arrange a transfer from the island’s port to the homestay for a small fee. Since there is no on-site parking, most travelers get around the compact island by bicycle or scooter, which can be arranged directly through the homestay. Book water activities like diving and snorkeling in advance through the homestay’s tour desk to secure discounted rates and avoid sold-out slots. Finally, don’t miss the homestay’s in-room breakfast, which features fresh local Green Island seafood and tropical fruit sourced from nearby farms for a true taste of Taitung.
