DETAILED DECRIPTION

Sanya has been described as “China’s Hawaii,” and the Sanya Edition brilliantly brings to life the spirit of white sand beaches, lazy days of indulgence, and luxurious living for which the southeastern state is known. Nonetheless, it remains distinctly Chinese with a variety of authentic regional cuisines present amid its number of restaurants and various regional touches. All rooms and suites face the sea and offer stunning views from balconies, while interiors are marvelously appointed with even entry-level rooms offering king-size beds and large bathtubs. Upgraded suites provide more space, larger decks, and even private terraces. There are also a number of villas tucked into the hillside with private pools. There are several restaurants that range from buffet style to fine dining in beautiful structures that seem to be floating over water. Guests have the option to lounge at any of the resort’s pools or enjoy its massive spa facility. For kids, there is also a large play area complete with everything from fairground-style bumper cars to a miniature play town. The fitness center is open 24 hours a day, and there are also a few cultural shops to be enjoyed between the lounge chairs and dinner.
