Conch Girl’s’ Home

the name of the hotel is from a Chinese folktale. The conch girl falls in love with a young fisherman and the goddess of the sea disapproves the romance. The goddess then changes her mind after learning that the fisherman is a good man. The conch girl and the fisherman get married eventually. The conch elements of the tale can be seen everywhere here: on the gate, on the wood board by the door, in the flower beds in the garden, in the lobby, on the windows, in the rooms…

Dongji Island

Rock Dock

The rooms at Rock Dock provide the best views of the sea you are likely to get on the whole eastern tip of the archipelago. No other private hotels on the island can offer a better spectacle. The rooms are furnished with, among other things, books and magazines, all from the private library of the hotelier. Each room has a balcony where you can relax in a cane chair with a cup of tea on a small tea table.

It is an unusual experience to listen to the sounds of the sea and slip into sleep…
