In ancient times, Sanya was known as “the end of the sky and ocean.†The Sanya Edition embraces this concept by responding to China’s ever-changing landscape and introduces travelers to a new kind of luxury hotel experience.
Centrally located in Haitang Bay, The Sanya Edition is set within 50 acres of meticulously landscaped lush tropical greenery. Featuring a striking 20,000 m2 private ocean overlooking the South China Sea.
While adventurers climb the rock wall or ride the paddleboards, friends gather in the Mahjong Rooms.
As toddlers explore the water slides and fantastical treehouse, wellness seekers retreat to the meditation forest or find sanctuary in the 11 exclusive treatment rooms in The Spa at The Sanya Edition.
Throughout the lush tropical landscape, a village of family cabanas and relaxation pavilions – each one fitted with comfortable couches, flat-screen TVs and minibars – encourage lounging.
The spectacular 20,000m2 private ocean overlooking the South China Sea is unique to China and serves as the property’s focal point with numerous activities radiating around this vast body of water.
The private ocean beach on the north shore, which is shaded by coconut palms, offers pristine white powdery sand and is designed for swimming and enjoying the water and its magnificent view.
The Sanya Edition comprises 512 residential-style guestrooms, including 46 suites, and an additional 17 exclusive hotel villas nestled into a terraced hillside, each one with a private pool and private outdoor space.
Delivering on the new-luxury promise, all guestrooms in the horseshoe-shaped hotel offer stunning ocean views.
While the standard rooms are well suited for families, the loft suites, with their sleek and sensual finishes, are designed to appeal to couples. ■
