Nestled in a serene location in Shanhai Village, Ocean Paradise Resort 海境渡假民宿 offers travelers a unique escape unlike any other. Imagine waking up to a breathtaking 360-degree unbounded view that stretches across 40,000 pings of lush green grassland, a breathtaking view of Shanhai Fishing Harbor, or even the village at the far end of the other side of the same room. The landscape, ever-changing with the dance of day and night, also offers a myriad of picturesque scenes as seasons shift, you can engage in stargazing from a private rooftop lounge (if you book a room which has access to it), or interact with a various animals scattered over the area, such as cows and friendly dachshund dogs.
Main Reasons to Stay in Ocean Paradise Resort

Where is the Ocean Paradise Resort located?
Ocean Paradise Resort is located in Shanhai Village, at the West Coast of Kenting National Park, in Hengchun Township, and it is located on a picturesque hill – setup your navigation, and it will deliver you right at the doorsteps of the huge 40,000 pin territory of the resort with a 2 white buildings at the center, where guest rooms are located.
If you book rooms with a balcony and on the higher floors (in this post we will be reviewing room that is called Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View), then this is a view you will be getting from the balcony:

Arriving at Nanwan Station Hotel & Lobby
After you go up a short, winding mountain road up to the hill that leads to the Ocean Paradise Resort, you will reach the main entrance of the resort, which most likely will be closed, and will look like this:
Ring the door, tell your name, they will check booking and let you in
After you get into the resort, you will have plenty of places to park a car, as you probably already know, I can’t wait but already invite you to walk around in our full 360-degree virtual tour, and if you want to walk around the parking (since we talk about it now), then you can start virtual tour here:
Start to walk and watch all the directions in our extensive tour – feel the sunset serenity of the huge grassland of the Ocean Paradise Resort.
Every day you stay in the resort, you gaze upon the Shanhai Fishing Harbor from the mountain. Hotel can introduce guests to seafood restaurants in the fishing village where they can enjoy freshly caught fish, however, we chose the Yueh Ya Tong Sea View Restaurant, which offers another view on the Shanhai Harbor, and is located nearby. You also have the opportunity to view the Ocean Paradise Resort from below the mountain, experiencing the simple tranquility of the fishing village and the charming ambiance of the harbor, just as in the above picture.
What is the most impressive, and really, what sets this resort apart from other resorts that are located on the beach, or other places in Kenting National Park, is that whenever you come, be it winter, summer, or rainy day, or sunny day, it is always different, each time there is a different vibe. I took below pictures from the facebook page of the resort, I think they won’t mind, but just check it out:
Lobby area of the resort is located at the entrance, you can enter it walking between buildings, in case you want to walk through with our virtual tour, you can start right here, in above virtual tour.
Ocean Paradise Resort Guest Room
Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View in Ocean Paradise Resort is something really better to been seen and experienced by one itself, rather than looking at pictures, however, this is why I make these 360 degree virtual tours, so you can view rooms and surrounding territory from every possible angle. Now, just check out this beauty, and take a walk yourself and look at all directions:
This is a sea view bathroom, The whole guest room is a studio type room with a round bath and shower which features a ceiling-to-ground panoramic window – it is really possible to take a bath and shower and look at the sunset like this:
This is a sunset we experienced during our stay.
Or do as I did – I opted for a sunset evening walk into the greenery, and this is a stunning moment I got captured 360 degrees above – 2 cows enjoying evening and chilling, and the sun is setting – purely calming experience. You can also walk in the tour and see the sunset in 360 degrees!
This is 8K sunset experience in the Ocean Paradise resort in 360 degree video – if you have VR mask, try to use it for a full immersion, or, if you are on PC or Mac, make video full screen, set 8K resolution, and enjoy – turn to all sides to watch!
As I mentioned before, the hotel is designed in a way that the side that faces the mountain and greenery side is all straight and with such small windows:
These small windows are the ones, that are at the opposite side of the room, near the small bed:
Now, the biggest bonus if you wish, for these rooms is already mentioned before, the really huge balcony, from which you can view the sea and the Shanhai Fishing Port. This side of the hotel is designed in a form of terraces, so that it looks like this:
Notice how the rooms on the third floor have a spiral-type small stars leading up to the roof. This is where the private roof top lounge is located, and if you book the room on third floor this lounge will be accessible by you only. This is how it looks like on there, take a walk and look around:
Spend your day as you please—whether it’s lounging on the terrace, resting in your cozy bed, or taking a leisurely stroll in the vast park. The beauty of nature is everywhere. The resort grounds are home of few peaceful cows and playful dogs. As you wander, let the calming views of the expansive ocean, drifting clouds, and captivating sunsets wash over you. It’s not just about vacationing; it’s about cherishing a moment of stillness and tranquility.
On the roof mail element is this lounge chair, which you can use at night for a harbor night view – and, more importantly – lay down and stargaze!
Dogs & Cows - a unique face of the Ocean Paradise Resort
Whats really interesting, is that resort owns at least 2 cows (you can see them in the virtual tour we have, and also in the 360 degree video), and the family of brown dachshund dogs, that freely roam near the lobby area, and sometimes all over the territory:
