Travel Tips

The villa is a whole-villa rental only, so book well in advance, especially during peak summer (June to August) and Taiwanese national holidays. The property only hosts Chinese-speaking guests currently, so confirm communication arrangements ahead of time if you do not speak Mandarin. Airport transfers from Kaohsiung International Airport can be arranged directly through the property for a reasonable fee, or you can book a rental car via the hotel for easy exploration of the Kenting peninsula. Pets are welcome, so just let the management know you’re bringing your furry friend when you book. For the best weather, visit between October and April, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is low, perfect for outdoor barbecues and day trips.
