Kvinnherad has two distinct centres: Rosendal, with municipal administration and its historic rural landscape, and Husnes, with aluminium production and shops. Shipyards, aquaculture and hydropower also connect many villages to wider markets.
The municipality encompasses steep Folgefonnhalvøya, lower farming country around Ølve and Hatlestrand, and islands including Halsnøy. The contrasts between glacier country, woodland and sheltered sounds are central to its character.
