Introduction

Tucked away on Taiwan’s untouched Green Island (Lüdao) in Taitung County, Seventy Steps Inn (七十腳落坊) is a quiet adults-only retreat that captures the laid-back, off-grid magic of this volcanic island. Far from the crowds of Taiwan’s main tourist hubs, this cozy guesthouse caters to travelers craving slow coastal exploration, ocean adventures, and restful nights away from urban chaos. Whether you’re a diver chasing crystal-clear underwater vistas or a walker looking for quiet cliffside trails, Seventy Steps Inn delivers a comfortable, authentic Green Island base.

Hotel Overview

Seventy Steps Inn is located at No.49 Gongguan, Green Island Township, putting you steps from the island’s best coastal access. The property is exclusively for adults, ensuring a peaceful, noise-free stay, with soundproofed, hypoallergenic, fully smoke-free rooms fitted with air conditioning, bedside charging outlets, and hanging and clothes drying racks for wet swimwear and hiking gear. All rooms offer either sweeping ocean or charming town views, with many opening onto shared sun terraces furnished with outdoor seating, perfect for sipping morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the Pacific. Each unit has a simple kitchen equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, and basic cookware, ideal for preparing light meals or storing fresh local seafood. Shared spaces include a cozy lounge with a fireplace, sofa, and board games, a full garden, and free WiFi across the property. For active guests, the inn offers on-site snorkeling and arranged paid off-site diving trips to Green Island’s famous reefs. Practical perks include free public street parking, luggage storage, tour booking assistance, boat and car rental arrangements, and airport and harbor shuttle service. All bathrooms include a bidet toilet, hairdryer, shower, and complimentary toiletries.

Local Attractions

Three can’t-miss spots are all within easy reach of the inn:

• Jhaorih Hot Springs: One of the only rare saltwater hot springs in the world, this open-air coastal spot lets you soak in warm, mineral-rich waters as waves crash just meters away. Visit at night to stargaze from the pools or at dawn for an unforgettable sunrise soak.
• Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park: A powerful historic site located on the site of a former political prison, this park preserves the buildings and stories of Taiwan’s martial law era, with peaceful walking trails through coastal scrub that blend history and natural beauty.
• **Shilang Bay: A sheltered crescent beach with turquoise, calm water, it’s perfect for casual swimming, snorkeling, and spotting sea turtles that frequent the bay’s shallow reefs. The soft white sand makes it a lovely spot for a lazy afternoon picnic.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance, as the inn only has a limited number of rooms, and it fills up fast during peak summer diving and hiking season from May to September. Since Green Island is only accessible by 1-hour ferry from Taitung City, arrange your ferry tickets and the inn’s harbor shuttle at least two weeks ahead. Pack reef-safe sunscreen for water activities, and comfortable walking shoes for the island’s many coastal trails. Note that parking is free but cannot be reserved, so if you rent a scooter (the most popular way to get around the island), the inn can recommend nearby secure parking spots. As the inn only accommodates adults, it is not suitable for travelers bringing children. Finally, don’t leave without picking up fresh green seaweed jelly from the nearby night market, a beloved local treat.
