Located on a 42.8 kilometer-long bay in Hainan Province, Shangri-La Sanya welcomes visitors to a luxurious stay in the north-eastern coastal city of Sanya. The main building is equipped with a roof garden, integrating into the original base terrain with a bespoke greenery approach. The landscape design adopts consistent use of local tree species, flowers, and stone to blend into the existing scenery and topography.

Hotel rooms descend along the terrain to form a natural vista for guests, maximizing the panoramic sea view. The functional layout of the development places great emphasis on the privacy of hotel guests by connecting the guestroom complex with other public areas by pedestrian walkways yet divided by green spaces. This provides a clear separation between private and public spaces, ensuring guests with quality rest and leisure conditions.
