Nearby Attractions

Three standout attractions are just a short drive from the resort:

• Nanwan Beach: Located just 5 minutes from the hotel, this soft golden sand beach is one of Kenting’s most popular spots for swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. Its calm, shallow waters are ideal for families, and sunset walks along the shore offer postcard-perfect views of the Pacific.
• Kenting National Park: A 15-minute drive from the resort, Taiwan’s oldest national park boasts diverse tropical ecosystems, dramatic coastal cliffs, and hiking trails for all skill levels. Don’t miss the iconic Eluanbi Lighthouse, known as the “Light of East Asia,” at the park’s southern tip.
• Sheding Natural Park: Just 10 minutes away, this low-elevation park features open grasslands, shaded walking paths, and frequent sightings of wild sika deer. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon picnic away from Kenting’s busier crowds.

Travel Tips

The resort is located 15 minutes from Kenting Street’s famous night market, so rent a scooter or drive to experience its night street food and souvenir stalls. Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August and winter holiday weekends) to secure your preferred villa. If you plan to cook or barbecue, pick up fresh seafood and local produce from the Nanwan market before heading back to the resort. Finally, don’t forget to pack insect repellent for your evening walks around the resort’s lake and garden areas—tropical Taiwan has small bugs that can put a damper on outdoor relaxation.
