Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable sights are just a short drive or bike ride from the hotel:

• Kenting National Park: Taiwan’s oldest national park, just 10 minutes away, boasts dramatic cliffside coastal trails, white-sand beaches, and unique tropical ecosystems. Don’t miss the view at Eluanbi Lighthouse, the “Light of East Asia” perched on the island’s southernmost tip.
• Sheding Nature Park: A 15-minute drive from the hotel, this grassy plateau is famous for its wild buffalo herds, sweeping ocean views, and easy walking trails perfect for casual hikes and picnics.
• Baisha Bay: A postcard-perfect crescent of soft white sand and calm turquoise water, 20 minutes from the hotel. It’s ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and watching sunsets, and was even a filming location for the movie *Life of Pi*.

Travel Tips

Book your stay during the off-peak season (April to May, or September to October) to avoid the summer crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures, lower rates, and easier access to popular beaches. If you plan to explore the area at a relaxed pace, rent a scooter from the hotel to navigate Kenting’s coastal roads more easily than a car. Remember that Kenting is a tropical destination, so pack reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle for days out exploring. For families requesting connecting rooms, note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so request a ground-floor room if you’re traveling with strollers or guests with limited mobility.
