Hotel Overview

Green Island Oceanrelier 依海公寓 is located at No.17, Gongguan, Lvdao Township, putting you steps away from the island’s western shore. The adult-only policy ensures a peaceful, relaxed vibe, with all rooms designed for comfort: every non-smoking space is fitted with air conditioning, crisp linens, bedside charging ports, and a private shower area stocked with toiletries, a hairdryer, and slippers. Most rooms open onto a private or shared sun terrace, perfect for sipping morning coffee or evening drinks overlooking the ocean.

On-site facilities cater to independent travelers: free property-wide Wi-Fi keeps you connected, a shared fully equipped kitchen with an electric kettle lets you prepare your own meals, and common areas offer board games, a shared TV lounge, and helpful multilingual staff (fluent in English, Japanese, Cantonese, and Mandarin) for tour bookings and travel advice. Pet owners are welcome to bring their four-legged companions with advance notice, though a small extra fee may apply. For active guests, the property offers bicycle rental, paid guided cultural tours, arranged浮潜 and paid off-site diving trips, plus access to a paid on-site hot spring bath to soothe sore muscles after a day of exploring. Note that there is no on-site parking, but the village’s compact layout makes walking or cycling easy.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within easy reach of the hotel:

• Jhaorih Hot Spring: Just a 10-minute bicycle ride from the hotel, this rare saltwater hot spring sits right on the coast, where you can soak in 60°C mineral-rich waters as you watch waves crash against the volcanic shore. Open overnight, it’s one of the only spots in Taiwan to soak under a starry sky over the Pacific.
• Shiiping Scenic Area: A 15-minute ride north, this otherworldly coastline is carved from ancient volcanic rock, with natural sea arches, hexagonal columnar joints, and tide pools teeming with tropical marine life. It’s one of the best photo spots on the island for sunrise.
• Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park: A 20-minute ride south, this historically significant site commemorates Taiwan’s era of political imprisonment. Guided walks through the former prison and coastal memorial grounds offer a moving deep dive into the island’s complex history.

Travel Tips

To make the most of your stay, book dive or cultural tours through the hotel’s tour desk for preferential rates, and arrange any pet requests at least 48 hours in advance. Bring reef-safe sunscreen for water activities, and rent a bicycle through the hotel to explore the island’s 20km coastal loop at your own pace. Most attractions are easily reachable by bike, so you won’t need a scooter or car to get around. Finally, don’t miss the opportunity to catch the green sea turtle nesting sightings (with respectful distance) from the nearby coast between May and October, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that makes Green Island unforgettable.
