Howard Villa

On Taiwan’s sun-kissed southern coast in Hengchun, minutes from Little Bay Beach, Kenting Beach and the lively Kenting Night Market. This beach resort sits near Kenting National Park and is a solid pick for pet-friendly, family-friendly beach stays.

Rooms range from individually decorated guestrooms—many with private plunge pools and in-room spa tubs—to themed villas (Bali, Greece, Spain, India, Japan) with private courtyards and outdoor Jacuzzi tubs. Expect jetted bathtubs, rainfall showerheads, LCD TVs, minibars, safes, electric kettles and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The vibe blends Mediterranean touches with playful, themed design.

Make a splash in the outdoor pool or unwind in the spa tub. Stay active in the fitness center, squash court, tennis and basketball courts, or at the Fun Mall’s bowling alley, bumper cars and arcade. Kids get their own playroom/Children’s Play Center. Concierge, shuttle and on-site parking keep things easy—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the beach.

Equipped for meetings and large events with seven multi-functional conference rooms and a pillar-less banquet hall for up to 1,000 guests. Complimentary wireless internet, multilingual staff, 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry and free self-parking round out the business services. Train station pick-up is available.

Multiple on-site restaurants serve Chinese and Western dishes—one outlet features authentic Chinese cuisine—plus a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge. Room service is available during limited hours and self-serve breakfast is offered daily for a fee.
