Local Attractions

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

• Vase Rock: Xiaoliuqiu’s most iconic landmark is a weathered volcanic formation rising from the ocean, famous for its sunset views and the sea turtles that often swim in the surrounding shallows. It’s a 10-minute scooter ride from Natural Manor.
• Beauty Cave: A stunning sea cave with vivid blue-green water, accessible via a short coastal hike. The cave’s natural arch filters sunlight into the water, creating magical light displays perfect for photos, and it’s one of the island’s top snorkeling spots.
• Sanban Beach: A soft white sand beach with calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and casual sea turtle spotting. It’s far less crowded than Xiaoliuqiu’s more popular beaches, making it perfect for a lazy afternoon.

Travel Tips

Book your stay and arranged boat tickets to Xiaoliuqiu from Donggang Harbor at least two weeks in advance, especially during peak summer weekends and Taiwanese national holidays. Rent a scooter through the hotel for the easiest way to get around the island—most attractions are less than 15 minutes away by bike or scooter. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen for your water activities, and always follow local guidelines when observing wild sea turtles to avoid disturbing their natural habitat. If you’re traveling during the winter months, rooms include heating and extra blankets to keep you comfortable on cool evenings.
