Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location unbeatable:

• Whale Watching at Baisha Bay: A 10-minute drive from the hotel, Baisha Bay is one of Penghu’s top spots for seasonal whale and dolphin watching between April and October. The calm, clear waters are also perfect for casual swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.
• Gangzi Ancient Coastal Trail: A 15-minute walk from the hotel’s private beach, this well-maintained 2km trail winds past weathered basalt formations and traditional Penghu fishing villages, with endless photo opportunities of the turquoise Strait at sunset.
• Penghu Cross-Sea Bridge: Just a 7-minute drive north, this iconic 2.5km bridge connects Baisha Island to Xiyu Island. Stop at the mid-bridge overlook for panoramic views of the tidal flats and surrounding islets, and grab fresh grilled squid from a nearby street stall for a classic Penghu snack.

Travel Tips

Book your stay between May and September for warm, sunny weather ideal for beach days, and reserve a poolside room in advance if you’re traveling during peak summer season. The hotel’s seasonal pool is only open from late May through early September, so confirm opening dates if swimming is a priority. Take advantage of the hotel’s on-site car or scooter rental—Baisha’s best hidden coves are only accessible by two wheels, and the flat terrain makes for easy, scenic rides. Finally, don’t miss watching the sunrise from the hotel’s private beach: with unobstructed eastern views, you’ll have the entire horizon to yourself before the day’s adventures begin.
