Its captivating design takes cues from local geographical characteristics as well as the cultural and scenic backdrop of Hainan, while committing to the principles of sustainable travel that the hotel brand is renowned the world over for.

Perched 22 metres above sea level, the hotel’s breath-taking views of the bay are enhanced by generous natural lighting and strategic cross ventilation to take advantage of the sea breezes. The hotel’s intelligent single loaded structure ensures that all the rooms are equally light-filled and airy, while also affording a stunning ocean outlook. Nature positively seeps into the hotel’s architecture, which is planned around a series of lush landscaped gardens situated to the east. The rooftop space is cleverly treated as the fifth facade, being put to innovative use through the integration of a rooftop sky farm and three individual villas featuring lush sky gardens.
