Capella Hotels and Resorts have confirmed plans for the brand’s first resort and the second property in Taiwan. Capella Kenting will be the first world-class resort in Southern Taiwan and is anticipated to elevate the region to new heights on the global tourism stage. Located on a sprawling 99,000 square metres along the western coastline of Taiwan’s Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung, Capella Kenting is designed by the illustrious Italian architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, founders of ACPV ARCHITECTS. Renowned for their refined and sophisticated masterpieces, ACPV ARCHITECTS was inspired by Pingtung’s indigenous architecture and the rich natural environment of Hengchun Peninsula in their design.

The duo have weaved in touches such as low walls made of stacked stones, an element commonly found in the region’s tribal houses, and ensure spaces embrace the local environment, connecting guests to the serenity of Kenting’s azure blue ocean. Capella Kenting will comprise only 65 exclusive villas. This new low-density resort will offer guests an unrivalled level of privacy and tranquillity. The property will have the largest hotel rooms in Taiwan, with spacious accommodations starting at 197 square metres. Each villa will also be equipped with a private swimming pool, hot spring facilities, and a breathtaking 180-degree sea view, allowing guests to soak in the serene beauty of the coastline and savour spectacular sunsets from the comfort of their rooms. The Capella Wellness program is central to the Capella Kenting experience. This unique offering will blend traditional southern Taiwanese wellness practices with Capella’s signature lunar phase-specific therapies, providing a deeply immersive and restorative experience. Kenting’s serene atmosphere will further enrich the resort’s well-being offerings.

At the heart of Capella Kenting lies the brand’s cultural beating heart, The Living Room, where Capella Culturists will curate meaningful experiences that provide today’s modern traveller profound insights into the locale. Guests staying at Capella Kenting can anticipate rich cultural engagement with a series of Capella Curates experiences that emphasise tradition and meaningful exploration. They will be able to delve deep into into the rich tapestry of local culture, history, and environment for an experience to cherish forever. Capella Kenting is earmarked to open its doors to guests in 2028. Renders © ACPV ARCHITECTS
