The Sanya EDITION

In ancient times, Sanya was known as “the end of the sky and ocean,” a description that still rings true for The Sanya Edition, a new lush tropical hideaway. Located just off the coast of Southern China on Hainan Island, this 50-acre paradise embraces the sea as its inspiration, featuring a stunning one-of-a-kind private ocean — the first of its kind in China — as well as two sparkling pools. The aquatic theme continues throughout the futuristic-looking property, including the indoor spaces. The lobby boasts a lotus pool and live bamboo grove accompanied by a carefully curated art gallery, while all of the 500-plus guest rooms, suites and private villas afford ocean views. At Edition’s first Asia hotel, gondolas can transport you to an extraordinary floating restaurant or you can keep your toes in the sand with a cocktail in hand at the oceanfront cafés and cabanas.
