Howard Beach Resort Kenting

On Taiwan’s sun-drenched southern tip in Hengchun, this beachfront resort sits at the edge of Kenting National Park. Minutes from Little Bay Beach, Kenting Night Market, White Sand Bay and Dawan Beach, it’s a beach hotel with ocean-view rooms and family-friendly vibes.

Mediterranean-style grounds and over 400 rooms and villas set the scene. Rooms have private furnished balconies with ocean and mountain views, refrigerators, LCD TVs, deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads. The décor is warm and relaxed — simple luxury for beach days and stargazing nights.

Make a splash in the outdoor pool and aquapark/water park (surcharge), unwind in hot tubs and a sauna, or hit the fitness center. Kids get playrooms and an arcade, so it’s truly family-friendly. Rent bikes, play tennis, squash, basketball or golf on-site, and enjoy a host of water-sports and activity options.

A pillar-less ballroom for up to 1,000 and seven fully equipped conference rooms make it an events-ready resort. There’s a computer station, 24-hour front desk, concierge services and complimentary wireless internet; free self-parking and train-station pick-up are available.

Three on-site restaurants serve Chinese and Western fare, plus a coffee shop and bar/lounge for snacks and drinks. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily (7–10 AM, fee) and limited room service is available.
