The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay: A Beachfront Resort on Hainan

The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay stretches along one of Hainan's best beaches, a resort of landscaped gardens and multiple pools facing the South China Sea. It is a full-scale holiday property, built for families and long stays.

The dining spread is one of the widest in the collection. Fresh 8 runs an interactive buffet across eight show kitchens, Pearl serves contemporary Cantonese with Hainan and Sichuan dishes, Sofia handles casual Italian, Sand grills and pours at the beach, Cube keeps the poolside crowd cool, Scene is an ocean-view lobby lounge with Asian-inspired cocktails, and Scoop scoops ice cream through the afternoon.

With this much choice on property, guests rarely need to venture beyond the gardens for a meal.
