Sanya Haitang Bay

The 1,200-meter seawater canal that winds through the property is the world's first of its kind inside a hotel. Guests board traditional dragon boats to glide through the lush gardens and reach different parts of the resort, including the Fairmont Gold wing and the Wood Art Gallery wharf.

On-water activity offered by the recreation team, accessible from the property grounds.

Runs Tuesday through Sunday at the butterfly-shaped pool, with a bubble show, DJ set, and poolside bar service. More family-friendly afternoon event than late-night club — wrap up by early evening.

A nightly live performance program inspired by Venice, performed on the Yun River canal from morning to night. Combines theatrical elements with the waterway setting — one of the property's more distinctive cultural programming touches.

An on-site putting course for children and adults. Light recreation in the gardens — more a family activity than a serious golf experience.

Dedicated children's activity club for families. On-site playground included. Exact programming and age ranges available on request from the hotel.

A small train runs through the hotel grounds, covering the extensive property and allowing families to explore the antique architectural features, gardens, and canal views without walking the full distance.

A hotel-curated evening program timed to sunset, incorporating opera performances and storytelling based on local mythology. One of the more memorable cultural touches for guests who catch it.

Daily Tai Chi presentations held at the historic wooden pagoda dating from the reign of Emperor GuangXu in the Qing Dynasty. Zither performances also scheduled here. A genuinely peaceful morning experience before breakfast.

A Qing-dynasty Jiangnan courtyard originally owned by Shanghai tycoon Du Yuesheng, physically relocated from Shanghai to Sanya. Now showcases Huanghuali furniture and Ming and Qing dynasty antique artefacts. Guided talks available on request.

Direct beachfront access on Haitang Bay. Note that swimming in the open sea may be subject to seasonal safety restrictions common in this part of Hainan.

10 meeting and conference rooms of varying size, suitable for corporate events, workshops, and small conferences. Professional meeting butler service. AV support and on-site event planners.

Complimentary WiFi throughout all guest rooms and public areas.
