Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive from the hotel:

• Nanwan Beach: A 5-minute walk from the property, this crescent-shaped soft-sand beach is known for its calm, gentle waves, making it perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and family beach days. It’s far less crowded than the popular Kenting Main Beach, with plenty of space to lay out a towel and watch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait.
• Kenting National Forest Recreation Area: A 10-minute drive inland, this 1,500-hectare tropical forest features elevated boardwalks that wind through ancient banyan trees, hidden cave systems, and rare native plant species. Don’t miss the iconic 1,000-year-old giant banyan tree that covers an entire hillside.
• Hengchun Old Town: A 15-minute drive north, this well-preserved 19th-century walled town retains all four original historic city gates. Wander the narrow alleyways lined with traditional Hakka and Hokkien shophouses, sample local street food like Hengchun onion cakes and aiyu jelly, and visit the historic East Gate for sunset photos.

Travel Tips

The hotel charges a separate fee for air conditioning, so confirm rates when booking if you plan to use it during Kenting’s hot summer months (May to September). Book the hotel’s airport shuttle in advance if you’re flying into Kaohsiung International Airport, as public transit to Nanwan can be slow for first-time visitors. If you’re traveling during peak season (July to August and Lunar New Year), reserve your room at least one month in advance, as family rooms fill up quickly. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen and insect repellent for days exploring the nearby national park and beaches—even on cloudy days, the southern Taiwan sun is strong.
