West Island
Sanya Bay, China

West Island combines a visitor destination with the character of an established fishing settlement. Explore village lanes, painted walls and seaside paths, then pause for a meal or a drink overlooking the water. The appeal is a slower island outing with a different rhythm from Sanya’s large resorts. Check the boat service and return arrangements before setting out, and allow enough time to explore beyond the immediate arrival area without rushing back to the pier.
