History
Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay opened in 2012 on the spectacular Haitang Bay in Sanya, Hainan Province, one of China's premier beach resort destinations. Haitang Bay has been developed as a 'luxury bay' with a cluster of international five-star hotels and China's largest duty-free shopping complex. The resort features expansive pools, private beach access, and multiple dining venues catering to Chinese and international guests. Hainan Island's tropical climate and government-backed development have made it China's answer to a tropical resort destination.
The setting
Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay occupies a beachfront site at 10 Haitang North Road, within China's designated National Bay corridor — Hainan's highest-concentration luxury resort coastline. Haitang Square, the bay's pedestrianised waterfront plaza, is a twelve-minute walk; Sanya Haichang Dreamlike Ocean, a marine-themed attraction on the bay's edge, is sixteen minutes on foot. The cdf Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex at No. 118 Haitang North Road — the world's largest offshore duty-free emporium when it opened in 2014 — is a short drive, combining seamless luxury retail access with uninterrupted South China Sea frontage.
