My Favorite Taitung Hostel

Welcome to Taitung Sea Art Hostel in Dulan Village!

I am so happy to have finally found what I believe is the best hostel around Taitung, and I'm proud to present you Taitung Sea Art Hostel in the little town of Dulan!

Find Out About Taiwan's Best Hostel

The Taitung Sea Art Hostel was made for nature lovers and people who enjoy simple living. This guesthouse / B&B is located near the town of Dulan, some 20km north of Taitung city, on Highway 11.

I've been in Taiwan for ten years and I've spent many nights in mountain lodges and guesthouses and I can guarantee you that there is no other place like it on the island!

What's so special about this Taitung hostel?

Taitung Sea Art Hostel is surrounded by tall trees, tropical plants and flowers. During the day, you can go for a hike in the green hills around the property, and at night, you can sit outside in complete darkness, absolute quietness, and gaze at the stars. The rooms are clean and beautifully furnished. The common room and the outdoor pavilion are perfect places to meet other travelers and guests.

Meet Your Hosts: Roman and Emily

The friendly owners, Roman from Canada, and his Taiwanese wife Emily, are extremely accommodating and friendly.

Roman has been living in Taiwan for more than 10 years and he's very knowledgeable about Taiwanese culture and the land he lives on. He is one of the most versatile and creative artists I have ever met and his latest creation, the hostel, is his masterpiece - a collection of masks, paintings, leatherwork, and woodwork. The entire place is a real museum. Everything he's made there is in harmony with the surroundings. It is very homy!

Emily is a fantastic woman. She'll make sure you've got everything you need during your stay at the Taitung Sea Art Hostel. She's a fabulous cook and one of the friendliest hosts I've met in Taiwan. She'll be more than happy to help you organize tours in the Dulan / Taitung area, or to further destinations along Taiwan's east cost. She can also help you organize hiking, swimming, and snorkeling trips.
