Local Attractions

Three unmissable nearby attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the inn. First, Chuanfan Rock, just a 5-minute walk from the property, is Kenting’s most famous basalt landform, named for its resemblance to a billowing sail. Its soft golden sands and calm shallow waters are perfect for a casual afternoon swim. Second, Cape Eluanbi Lighthouse, 10 minutes south, marks Taiwan’s southernmost point. This 19th-century lighthouse sits amid rolling coastal grasslands in Kenting National Park, with easy hiking trails offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Third, Jialeshui Coast, 12 minutes north, is a rugged surf spot famous for its otherworldly eroded sandstone formations and consistent beginner-friendly waves, with casual beach shacks serving fresh grilled seafood nearby.

Travel Tips

Note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with mobility impairments should request a ground-floor room at booking. All paid services (including airport transfers and diving) are priced separately, so confirm rates at check-in. Hotel staff only speak Mandarin, so keep a translation app handy if you do not speak Chinese. The inn’s direct beach access means you can step straight from your room to the sand, but don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for exploring the rocky local shoreline.
