Hainan / Sanya
China's tropical beach destination.
About Hainan / Sanya
Sanya is China's answer to a tropical resort destination — white-sand bays, palm-lined boulevards and five-star beachfront resorts on the southern tip of Hainan Island. It's a favourite way to close out a longer China itinerary with a few relaxed days.
We arrange beach-resort stays, island-hopping day trips and spa itineraries, and it pairs naturally with a Guangzhou or Shenzhen business leg for travellers looking to unwind afterwards.
