Cable TV system and channel operator Dafeng Media Group is launching a luxury hot-spring resort in Taipei, Taiwan in Q3 of this year as it expands into the wellness tourism market.

The group bought the Pacific Wellness Spa & Club – originally a subsidiary of Pacific Life Resort, owned by Pacific Construction – in Taipei’s Beitou District last year.

After a one-year renovation plan, the 48-room hotel with 20 hot spring cabanas will officially open later this year as the Gaia Hotel Taipei, ending trial operations which started 31 January.

The hotel’s spa facilities will include a sauna, hot spring bath, spa pool, indoor and outdoor pools plus a steamroom.

There will also be a fitness centre and three restaurants within the building.
