Mandarin Oriental Sanya, Hainan Island

When it comes to beach vacations in China, Hainan Island is probably the first place that comes to mind. This not so small island lying southwest of Hong Kong is the southernmost part of China. Often called as the “Hawaii of China”, Hainan Island is truly a tropical paradise. The island is home to long sandy beaches, tropical rainforests and lush mountain landscapes. For years, Hainan has been named as the best and most touristic beach area in all of China. It’s a great destination for honeymoon couples as well, with so many things to do and see. Hainan has been declared as a special economic zone in 1988 and since then, new luxurious hotels and resorts are being built on the island. One of those luxurious resorts that we are going to introduce to you is the Mandarin Oriental Sanya.
