Sanya rankings

Sanya spreads along Hainan’s southern coast, where each bay offers a different base. Yalong Bay gathers established beach resorts, Haitang Bay has larger contemporary hotels, and Coral Bay feels more sheltered. Inland, forested ridges overlook the sea, while Nanshan’s Guanyin statue marks a striking stretch of the western coast. Make time for island excursions, Cantonese seafood and Hainan specialities, with a sunset walk along Sanya Bay to finish a day beyond the hotel.
