The Sanya EDITION

All 512 guestrooms have ocean views and a gentle aesthetic composed of limestone floors, oak finishes, baby-soft Frette linens, and white divider curtains that leads to an overall effect of relaxing cleanliness. Rooms start at 678 square feet, and all are equipped with king-size beds, rainforest showers, and bathtubs. Modern amenities like flat screen televisions, high speed Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth speakers are available, and bathrooms are stocked with custom-made Le Labo bath amenities and other essentials. Upgraded rooms feature more space, sitting rooms, and bigger decks. Some even have their own terraces, and there are also private villas available that are scattered along the hillside and offer excellent ocean vistas. Fitted with private pools and luxurious decks, the villas are tempting options.

In keeping with its reputation as a relaxation-centric destination, the hotel offers a number of pools, including a massive seawater structure that ripples into a beach and was specially designed to allow guests to safely enjoy the waters. There is a 21,500-square-foot spa with a number of tempting treatments, a 24-hour fitness center, and an expansive facility designed specifically for children with everything from a climbing wall to bumper cars. There's also a bookshop run by a Beijing collective, a gallery, and a lifestyle shop.

In keeping with a resort of its size, the Sanya Edition features a number of dining options for a diverse array of guests. The main destination is Market, a Silk Road-inspired, food station-driven eatery with an international selection of freshly prepared dishes. For barbecue lovers, there is Beach Barbacoa; Xinhai by the Sea features fine dining in a stylish restaurant with an elegant structure that seems to float above the water. Finally, Jade Egret is ideal for pre-dinner cocktails and small plates, and the rooftop bar is great for enjoying sophisticated drinks while taking in the far-reaching view.
