Venture to the most southerly peninsula of the island and the Kenting National Park, where you’ll find this boutique Design Hotel. Gloria Manor was first built in the 1950s but has been revamped to create a progressive architectural outlook. It has strong eco-credentials, is surrounded by forestry and has a purity to the interior design (which is by JAHAA) — 60 bedrooms have been inspired by Japanese style, some with freestanding baths and balconies. There’s a spa onsite and the MU Restaurant, serving contemporary local dishes.
