Sanya is renowned for its luxurious resorts. Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay are home to these high-end hotels, with nightly rates ranging from 1,000 to several thousand yuan. However, Haitang Bay's infrastructure is less developed and its location is relatively remote. While high-end hotels are also dotted along the coast of Dadonghai, prices tend to be lower than in Yalong Bay. Mid-range hotels are more readily available in Dadonghai and Sanya Bay. These two bays are closer to the city, offering convenient shopping, dining, transportation, and entertainment. Sanya Bay is a prime destination for budget-friendly accommodation, with small hotels costing only 200 to 300 yuan per night. Independent accommodation is also available on Wuzhizhou Island and Xidao Island, though prices range from around 1,000 yuan or more.
Accommodation in Sanya becomes tight starting from October every year. It is recommended to book your favorite accommodation in advance, otherwise there is a possibility of "no room available" at any time.
Yalong Bay's luxury hotels are dotted along the coastline, often within walking distance of their private beaches. These hotels offer expansive views, comprehensive facilities, and elegant decor, all surrounded by breathtaking scenery. However, these hotels come with a hefty price tag, often costing several thousand yuan per night. Interested travelers might consider just one night to experience the breathtaking ocean views and enchanting, refreshing sea breeze.
The Ritz-Carlton is widely considered one of the finest high-end hotels in Yalong Bay, offering a tranquil and pleasant setting amidst the bustling city. The hotel's guest room interiors and overall architectural design are both top-notch, and the service is exceptional. Furthermore, the hotel's excellent children's facilities make it a perfect choice for travelers with children.
