Villa 32
Beitou, Taipei
“Geothermal forest sanctuary”
MICHELIN Guide
Vibe
Hidden along Beitou's steaming Thermal Valley, ancient trees and raw stone frame an intimate sanctuary strictly reserved for adults.
“Geothermal forest sanctuary”
Eight indoor and outdoor thermal baths fed by Beitou white and rare green sulfur springs.
Five ultra-private suites featuring Italian Frette bedding, Bvlgari amenities, and discreet Relais & Châteaux service.

Tucked beside Beitou Thermal Valley at the foot of Yangmingshan, wrapped in peaceful forest surroundings.
Rooms
Suites blend aromatic Taiwanese cypress and tatami with private stone soaking tubs filled directly from natural geothermal springs.
Wellness
Eight gender-separated thermal pools draw rare green and white sulfur waters, alongside cold plunges and a Finnish sauna.
Backstory
Conceived by financier Ming-Houng Chiu as an exclusive private clubhouse in 2004, the estate preserves two-thirds of its grounds as forest.
Eat & drink
Italian and French-leaning tasting menus spotlight seasonal truffles and local produce, backed by a cellar stocked with rare vintage wines.
The neighborhood
Steaming thermal vents and shaded footpaths wind through Beitou, sitting quietly at the forested foot of Yangmingshan National Park.
“While Villa 32’s architecture and interiors are remarkable enough, its ace in the hole is its access to the Beitou hot springs — each of the five guest rooms is served by its own geothermic bath, and the semi-public springs are worth it for their foggy mountain views.”
