The Sanya Edition

Set on 50 acres along Haitang Bay, The Sanya Edition centres around a massive 20,000-square-metre private oceanfront saltwater lagoon, maintained with fresh ocean water and hosting private kayaking and paddleboarding. The property balances clean minimalist architecture with lush tropical gardens, featuring a rooftop infinity pool bar that overlooks the South China Sea. Dining options include Beach Oak, a seafood restaurant housed inside a timber pavilion suspended directly over the lagoon waters.

The resort's 512 guest rooms and multi-bedroom villas echo Ian Schrager’s signature minimalist sensibility, wrapped in light-oak millwork, sheer white drapery, and a serene cream-and-sand color palette. Standard accommodations feature generous floor plans starting at 63 square metres, complete with deep-soaking oval bathtubs set right beside floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to private ocean-facing balconies. Oceanfront villas take indulgence further with multi-level layouts, private swimming pools, and dedicated landscaped gardens.
