Rosewood Sanya Remains the Brand's First Mainland China Resort

Rosewood Sanya opened on August 21, 2017, becoming Rosewood's first mainland China property and establishing the brand's presence on Hainan Island's Haitang Bay well before its later expansion into Guangzhou, Beijing, and beyond. The resort's 244 ocean-facing guestrooms include 44 with private balcony plunge pools, a genuinely high ratio of premium accommodations for a resort of this scale.

A 13th-floor infinity pool gives the property one of its most photographed vantage points, looking out over Haitang Bay's coastline, while Sense, A Rosewood Spa rounds out the resort's wellness offering. Hainan Island has increasingly positioned itself as China's own tropical resort destination, and Rosewood Sanya remains one of the clearest arguments for that reputation.

For travelers curious about Hainan as a beach destination distinct from Rosewood's more urban Chinese properties, Sanya offers the brand's hospitality applied to a genuine resort format, plunge pools, ocean views, and an infinity pool included.
