5-Star Hotels in Kenting

For a true taste of Taiwan's tropical side, head to the southern tip of the island. Kenting is all about sun, sand, and dramatic coastal scenery. The main draw is Kenting National Park, where you can hike through lush forest to the iconic Eluanbi Lighthouse or watch the waves crash against the dramatic rock formations at Maobitou. By night, the energy shifts to Kenting Street, a long lane packed with street food stalls, bars, and souvenir shops that comes alive after sunset.

This is a destination for relaxation and outdoor adventure, perfect for families, groups of friends, and couples. Most visitors stay near Kenting Street for convenience and nightlife, while those seeking quieter beach time often choose the area around Nanwan (South Bay). You'll likely fly into Kaohsiung International Airport and take a 90-minute bus or taxi ride south; having your own scooter is the best way to explore the park's scattered sights at your own pace.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 32 different places to stay across the peninsula. Accommodation ranges from simple, social hostels for backpackers right on Kenting Street to a selection of comfortable mid-range hotels with pools. For a more secluded experience, a few independent guesthouses and small resorts sit closer to the quieter beaches.
