The decadent Pavilion room category features Ocean Breeze pavilions and Pool pavilions. Tastefully adorned with artwork inspired by Sanya’s native cultures, the spacious 52 sqm Ocean Front pavilions also have a large private outdoor area which is few steps away from the beach. Outdoor plunge pools, patios and a gazebo complete the luxurious experience.

The 18 well-appointed suites are decadently spacious, with separate living, dining and pantry areas, a walk-in wardrobe and an oversized terrace or balcony.

In addition, 15 elegant 150 sqm private villas have their own private deck areas, private outdoor lap pools, gardens and relaxation gazebos to guarantee complete seclusion and privacy. Four of them are equipped with a luxury private ‘spa suite’ for in-villa spa experiences, while the other eleven have an additional twin bedroom.
