2025 Sanya Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Club Med Sanya has been an amazing experience. There are so many activities and events at all times of day that it is hard to get bored. Initially there were a few issues with our room due to low maintenance levels (our tap water didn’t work, our shower carpet was smelly, and the room floor and entrance table counter wasn’t cleaned properly so there were dark blobs on the floor), yet after we started seeing the hotel manager more, the whole atmosphere of the place changed… staff were a lot more friendly, restaurant manager started smiling (she initially shouted at my son for coming in to the restaurant with wet clothes, yet she did apologize after I spoke to her after my friends told me they saw the whole thing) and the place was cleaner too. The buffet options at lunch and dinner are pretty amazing (we didn’t make it to breakfast as it closes early but my friend told me it wasn’t great). The staff are very friendly and offer so many activities geared towards families. Deer, the beach bar is super family friendly and a great place to gather every night. it closes at midnight and there is dance music and some aerobics classes at night. It would be nice if on Fridays there was more dancing time, we were disappointed to try on my bday this week (which was in a Friday) as we were told there was a dancing party but it was just aerobics with not such a good music selection. Betty at the beach bar makes the BEST drinks and Viviana in the front desk will help you communicate with the nurse if you need any medicine or check ups. Strangely during our stay many people got an ear ache and infection, Viviana helped us get a quick and inexpensive ear drop/antibiotic which helped a few friends. Our room’s air conditioning never worked even though they came to repair it and did not upgrade our room despite the trouble we had sleeping some nights as it was so hot. The trapeze was a definite highlight, and so was the baby beach pool with white sand. The water sports are cool but they shut super early at 5pm and last sign up is 4:30pm. There is only 1 water sport daily (wish there was a choice). Jet ski is extra charge and not run by Club Med. The staff member didn’t help us book it and they just said go and find out ourselves so we never did it as we didn’t find out how to do it. You can swim in this beach which was lovely as we could not swim in Haitong Bay or Luhuitoi where we stayed at in 3 hotels previously. Overall an amazing experience for kids and families… I do think the maintenance and service could be better seeing the price.

Experience an extraordinary adventure in Sanya alone with just 1500 RMB! Here's an awesome guide for you. Pre-Trip Prep • Transportation: Direct flights to Sanya can be pricey.

📍Guojianglong chain bridge is located Within Yalong Bay Tropical Forest Park 🌴🌳🪴🌾🌿,Jiyang District, Sanya City.. 📍The drive 🚖 to arrive at the park toke me around 50 mins from my hotel 🏨 . I left around 10:30am but I’ll advice to go earlier since there’s a lot of people to do the activities. The park opens from 8:00am and closes at 6:00pm. 📍If you’re afraid 😱 of heights this activity will not be for you , persons were shaking the bridge to give a bounce effect . No need to worry there is a security on the bridge for safety reasons . I’ll advise to wear comfortable clothing and shoes since there’s a lot of walking ; wear a hat ; carry bottle water to stay hydrated because it’s very hot . Overall it’s fun fun 🤩. #sanyatravel #forestpark #natureshots #tripaway

🔝 Sanya Ultra Luxury Hotel - Capella Sanya As JMG said: "Water is a powerful tool for relaxation and tranquility. When you're by a lake or river, even the most complex emotions will settle into calmness." ⛲️ ▪️ **Capella Sanya** ▪️ A private sanctuary co-designed by Aman's go-to architect Jean-Michel Gathy and landscape master Bill Bensley (search online for more about these two legends). 🔸 **Location & Transportation**: The hotel is located in Yingzhou Town, Haitang Bay, surrounded by a relatively remote area. Taking a taxi requires getting on the highway. It's 20min to the duty-free shop (Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex) and 45min to the airport. For outings, there are two shuttle buses per day. 🔸 The entrance features a stunning "From the Moon to the Ocean" domed water curtain design, with light filtering through. 🧘🏻‍♀️ The morning ritual (star-gazing pool with Tai Chi performances) is held here. Arrivals and departures are handled by butler-driven cars, but we recommend a leisurely afternoon stroll. 🔸 **Room Amenities**: A rich palette of vermilion red and mustard yellow, with rosewood jewelry boxes and red-lacquered wooden dressing tables. The 1.5*2m twin beds are perfect for a family of three. 🔸 Ideal for family vacations, the hotel not only offers standard facilities but also a private living room lounge and evening rituals under the starry sky with soothing music. The kids' adventure park and beach activities add even more fun to the trip. Of course, the price is as "stunning" as the experience—standard rooms start around ¥3k, rising to ¥6k during peak season. P.S.: Spotted vacationing celebrities Huo SY and Du J's family, including their daughter and En Heng.

This trip to Sanya, I stayed at the InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay Resort after a long absence, and the experience was still remarkable. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Haitang Bay, with everything you need for dining and entertainment nearby. Especially, it's just a short walk to the neighboring Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex, making it a paradise for shopping enthusiasts. 🏨 This time, I booked a one-bedroom ocean-view suite, and the moment I stepped in, I was amazed by the spacious layout and breathtaking sea views🌊! Both the living room and bedroom feature floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to take in the azure ocean right from your bed, as if merging with the sea. The room's decor is minimalist yet luxurious, and the oversized ocean-view bathtub on the balcony was my favorite. The TV with wireless screen mirroring and the newly upgraded coffee machine☕ also greatly enhanced the stay✔️. 🍽️ The hotel offers a rich dining experience with multiple restaurants to choose from. I highly recommend the Tianfu Chinese Restaurant, which combines local Hainan ingredients with creative culinary techniques, perfectly showcasing authentic Hainan flavors. The exquisite Hainan-style feast left a lasting impression on me. Especially noteworthy was Executive Chef Chen's unique calligraphy decorations on the plates—truly one-of-a-kind in the region👍🏻. 🍷 Beyond that, the hotel also features an underwater restaurant, a beachfront restaurant, and more to cater to diverse tastes. The Tianjin Bay All-Day Dining Restaurant not only serves a lavish breakfast but also offers a highly cost-effective coconut chicken hot pot with premium-quality meat. 💆‍♀️ The hotel's facilities are comprehensive, including a gym, spa, kids' club, and plenty of family-friendly activities, making it a popular choice for families in Sanya. You can fully unwind here. Moreover, the hotel has direct access to the beach, where the sand is soft and the water is crystal clear, allowing you to bask in the sun, sand, and sea. Finding a hotel you love that fits your budget and leisurely enjoying your vacation—I think this is the right way to experience Sanya!! 📍 Hotel Name: InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay Resort 🔎 Address: No. 128 Haitang North Road

Many people say that when you come to Sanya, you just play in the hotel, and I never really believed it. The first two days in Sanya, I took my kid to check out attractions and was exhausted to the point of collapse～😭 For the rest of the trip, my kid and I just stayed in the hotel and didn’t want to leave. We slept until we naturally woke up, and when we opened the window, we could see the blue sea 🌊. In the evening, we rushed to the ocean during the blue hour. Who can understand such romance! 💡My hard-earned advice for Sanya 1️⃣ If you bring kids, don’t act like a special forces soldier! Staying in a hotel in Haitang Bay + 1-2 attractions (Wuzhizhou Island / Houhai Village) is enough. 2️⃣ Choosing the right hotel is key! If your budget allows, go straight for the resort hotels in Haitang Bay or Yalong Bay, with full facilities and a great experience; if you want to be close to the city, choose Sanya Bay or Dadonghai, where there are many budget hotels and convenient transportation. 3️⃣ Don’t fall into the low-price tour trap! Sitting in a car for six or seven hours every day rushing to attractions, getting up early and staying out late, and possibly being forced to shop—free travel with hotel stays plus a few attractions is the most comfortable way to travel with kids. 4️⃣ Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen... The daytime sun in Sanya is really strong. A sunshade straw hat, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, and sunscreen spray are all indispensable, or you’ll get sunburned and peel in no time. 5️⃣ Avoid transportation pitfalls! Don’t take illegal taxis when you land. Cross the zebra crossing from Exit 7 to the parking lot on the opposite side, then take a ride-hailing car on the third floor. It’s convenient and safe. 6️⃣ Beach quality ranking: Haitang Bay > Yalong Bay > Sanya Bay > Dadonghai. Haitang Bay has fewer people and finer sand, but the waves are a bit stronger. This time I stayed at the Hyatt Hotel in Haitang Bay 🏨 ✅ The scenery is beautiful, with coconut groves, beaches, and the sea. At dusk during the blue hour, holding my kid’s hand for a stroll, the sky turns pink and purple, the sea breeze gently blows, this private beach has few people and beautiful views, the sand is fine, the child digs in the sand and plays in the water, and I watch the sunset on the beach chair. It’s so healing... ✅ The Kids’ Club keeps them busy all day: indoor and outdoor playgrounds + crafts, music classes + outdoor electric scooters, the kid played until they didn’t want to go home～ ✅ Three pools suitable for parent-child water play, with a shallow water area exclusively for kids that is safe and fun, while parents relax on lounge chairs and instantly enter vacation mode. About dining... ▪️ Yucun Chinese Restaurant: Chinese aesthetics at every step, Cantonese cuisine + Hainan flavors that amaze the taste buds ▪️ Seafood buffet dinner: island specialties like lobster and crab in unlimited supply, plus lively performances to entertain!
