KENTING NATIONAL PARK, TAIWAN

GLORIA MANOR is a hidden treasure along Taiwan’s breathtaking coastline and winding mountains, buried in the heart of the lush Kenting National Forest Recreation Area. This exclusive retreat, which once hosted President Chiang Kai-shek as a guesthouse and served the Taiwanese Forestry Bureau, now epitomises modern elegance and eco-friendly sophistication. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the minimalist design, rich textures and pristine marble. The lobby ceiling, adorned with traditional bamboo weaving, pays homage to local craftsmanship and contrasts beautifully with geometric floor patterns and minimalist furnishings.

Rooms at GLORIA MANOR are designed with romance in mind. Unique ocean-view rooms and private forest suites offer intimate and luxurious accommodations, each featuring
expansive windows that highlight the natural surroundings. The decor combines contemporary elegance with local cultural touches, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere. Eco-friendly paints, natural materials, and soft, ambient lighting enhance the feeling of tranquillity and connection with nature.

The hotel boasts two exquisite restaurants, an outdoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a spa featuring the top-tier Swiss skincare brand, Spa by VALMONT. The personalised butler service ensures that every detail of your stay is perfect, whether it’s a candlelit dinner on your balcony, a personalised gift, a romantic room setup or guided tours of the surrounding natural wonders. The hotel’s location within Kenting National Park offers unparalleled geographical, cultural and natural landscapes. The expansive meadow at the base of Mt. Dajian provides an unforgettable setting for wedding ceremonies, where the mountain and sea bear witness to the couple’s vows, symbolising their eternal love. A visit to this hotel is incomplete without exploring the nearby Kenting National Forest Recreation Area, just a five-minute drive from the hotel. This former tropical botanical garden boasts a rich array of tropical plants and diverse birdlife. Unique geological formations, such as the elevated coral reef “Skyline” and limestone features like “Fairy Cave” and “Silver Dragon Cave,” offer rare and spectacular sights.

Guests can also enjoy a meal at the secret GADUGADU Brunch restaurant within Kenting National Park. Situated at the highest point in Kenting, the restaurant provides a 360-degree view of the Hengchun Peninsula and the southernmost tip of Taiwan, offering a romantic and leisurely dining experience. For those seeking more natural beauty, a drive to “Longpan Grassland” to watch the sunrise or to “Guanshan” to witness Taiwan’s most beautiful sunset is highly recommended. The architects of the retreat have masterfully blended sustainability with luxury. Implementing solar panels and a natural water recycling system, optimise natural ventilation and minimise environmental impact. This commitment to sustainability is evident throughout the property, seamlessly integrating with the lush forest surroundings.

GLORIA MANOR’s exceptional natural and geographical conditions allow guests to experience the changing beauty of nature throughout the year. The hotel has become a favourite for couples who return time and again, evolving from honeymooners to families who make the hotel their annual retreat. Each visit unveils new dimensions of the hotel’s unique charm, with the dedicated and friendly staff providing a warm Taiwanese welcome.
