Kenting HowToTrip Beach Hotel, the only hotel in Taiwan right next to a beautiful 2.8-kilometer shell-sand beach, is set against azure seas, blue skies, shady tallow trees, and white waves among coconut groves—radiating a leisurely yet passionate romantic charm reminiscent of southern Europe. The resort's vibrant and lively architectural style features most of its ocean-view rooms equipped with private balconies. Simply open the floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy breathtaking sea views, especially enchanting during sunset. Additionally, one of the most appealing aspects is its environmentally friendly marine activities.

Focusing on eco-friendly concepts and dedicated to promoting non-motorized water activities, Kenting HowToTrip sets itself apart by centering its offerings around “activities.” The resort provides up to ten different indoor and outdoor activities daily, some guided by professionally trained instructors with licenses who offer explanations and demonstrations to ensure safe and enjoyable experiences for guests. Activities include Hobie Cat sailing, sea kayaking, paddleboarding, and more. Guests can also enjoy free access to ocean-view spas, seaside pools, fitness centers, mini golf, croquet, and archery shooting experiences, all offering unique travel thrills.

Among the activities highly favored by guests is the Hobie Cat sailing, a recreational facility introduced by Kenting HowToTrip in 2006. During the experience, guests use simple controls to harness the wind and navigate the boat across the sea. The Hobie Cats at HowToTrip are made of soft materials. When the sail faces the wind directly, the pressure difference between the windward and leeward sides generates thrust. Guests can steer using the gunwales and rudder to control lateral forces and direction. The exhilarating feeling of gliding through the sea with the wind in your face is truly thrilling.

In addition, Kenting HowToTrip uses various elements to create distinctive Southern European vacation vibes. The buildings of the Provence Pavilion, designed with golden and sapphire blue tones, evoke the warm sunlight and azure skies of southern France’s Provence region. The Malibu Pavilion’s warm hues of pink-yellow and pink-orange blend with brilliant sunshine and the seamless beauty of sea and sky, crafting a Mediterranean-inspired sense of leisure and elegance. The Positano Pavilion features a vibrant array of colors and a striking exterior that stands out against the blue sea and sky. Together, the three pavilions offer over 10 different room types.
