Kenting Howard Beach Resort ^中文版

Introduction

Perched on the sun-drenched southern coast of Taiwan’s Pingtung County, Kenting is famous for its turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and laid-back tropical vibe. For travelers seeking a comfortable, family-friendly base to explore this iconic coastal paradise, the Kenting Howard Beach Resort (墾丁福華渡假飯店) stands out as a reliable, well-situated choice at No. 2, Kenting Road, right in the heart of Kenting’s main strip just steps from the ocean.

This sprawling resort caters to every type of traveler, from multi-generational families to couples and casual group getaways.

Nearby Attractions

Three top attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the resort:

• Kenting National Park: Taiwan’s oldest national park boasts dramatic coastal cliffs, ancient banyan forests, and hiking trails for all skill levels. Don’t miss the view at Guan Mountain, where you can watch the sun rise over the Pacific.
• Baisha Bay: A postcard-perfect crescent of soft white sand famous for its calm, clear waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. It was the filming location for *Life of Pi*, and its quiet shoreline is perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
• Kenting Street Night Market: Just a five-minute walk from the resort, this lively night market serves up local specialties like oyster omelets, braised pork rice, and fresh mango shaved ice, alongside handmade souvenirs and beach gear.

Travel Tips

Book your stay during the off-season (May to early June, or September to October) to avoid the peak summer crowds and lower your rates. Ask for an ocean-facing room when checking in for unbeatable sunrise views over the water. If you plan to explore the area by car, the resort’s free parking and on-site EV charging eliminate extra hassle. Finally, pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to spend time on the beach—Kentings’ tropical sun is far stronger than many visitors expect.
