Sofia
Yalong Bay, China
Sofia offers an Italian alternative to the Chinese and seafood restaurants that dominate many Sanya itineraries. The Ritz-Carlton restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients, with homemade pasta and Neapolitan-style pizza among the advertised choices. Its combination of a relaxed restaurant atmosphere and a substantial wine selection makes it adaptable to different occasions. Reserve a table rather than assuming a resort restaurant will always have space, and ask which dining area best suits your group.
