Nearby Attractions

This iconic jagged rock formation rising from the Pacific is Kenting’s most photographed landmark, with a quiet nearby beach and easy access to snorkeling at vibrant offshore coral reefs. Second, Eluanbi Lighthouse, a 10-minute drive away, sits at Taiwan’s southernmost point. Wander the lush tropical park and coastal cliff trails to watch the sunset over the meeting of the Pacific and Bashi Channel. Third, Jialeshui Coastal Recreation Area, 20 minutes north, features unique wind-sculpted rock formations and rolling sand dunes, and is one of Kenting’s best spots for surfing and stargazing thanks to its minimal light pollution.

Travel Tips

Renting a scooter, the most popular way to get around Kenting, fits perfectly with the hotel’s central southern location, as there is no on-site parking. If you travel by private car, a well-maintained paid public parking lot is just a three-minute walk from the property. Request an ocean-view room at booking—watching the sunrise from your private terrace is an unforgettable experience worth the small upgrade. Book paid services like airport shuttle and bike rental at least 48 hours in advance to secure your spot, and don’t skip the included breakfast, consistently ranked among the best in southern Kenting.
