PARK Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort has opened in Sanya on Hainan Island, China’s southernmost province widely known as “the Hawaii of China.” The hotel is the fifth Park Hyatt hotel in China, as well as the 35th Park Hyatt hotel in the world.

    Situated on a stunning 350,000-sqm inlet and featuring a private lake and white-sand beach, Park Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort combines the luxury of privacy and exclusivity with accessibility, being a mere 5 km drive from Yalong Bay, the island’s most popular tourist destination.

    Park Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort was created by the award-winning Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy of the renowned design-consultancy firm, Denniston. The strikingly modernist development comprises six standalone, arch-shaped buildings designed to allow qi, the traditional Chinese notion of energy, to flow unhindered between the ocean and mountains.

    Set amid the lush landscape next to the beautiful Nanhu Lake, the placement of every building and internal space has been carefully considered to maximize guests’ enjoyment of the breathtaking view.

    The six buildings are linked by wide walkways and are decorated with paintings and sculptures to create a tranquil and rarefied art-walk experience.

    Designed to replicate the feeling of living in a private mansion by the sea, the sophisticated, elegant interiors are residential in style with a subtle Chinese sensibility.

    As in private homes, the spaces are wholly flexible. Park Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort features 207 luxurious guestrooms, including 26 suites and 17 villas. At 62 sqm, the standard rooms are among the largest on the island, and almost all of the guestrooms enjoy unadulterated views of the South China Sea.

    The ethos of the international culinary team at Park Hyatt Sanya Sunny Bay Resort is to offer a range of authentic Chinese and Western dishes that incorporate ingredients of the highest quality, sourced locally wherever possible.

    In keeping with the residential concept and ambience of a resort setting, guests are welcomed to order from the menu or request bespoke dishes as relaxed and freely as they might at home. The culinary team is primed to create unique and memorable dining experiences for guests, such as a champagne breakfast on a yacht.
