Honest review
The main argument for Mandarin Oriental Sanya is seclusion: the resort stands in its own picturesque bay on Hainan, and its beach counts among the most secluded in the region.
We advise settling in the villas: many have a private pool and a roomy terrace, with panoramic windows facing the sea or the tropical gardens. The best format for a holiday where you need no one nearby.
Plan the spa as a separate item on the programme: the Mandarin Oriental complex here is one of the largest in Asia, with programmes joining Eastern traditions and modern methods of recovery.
The evenings belong to the food: Chinese cooking, the freshest seafood and international dishes; the sea-view restaurants are made for romantic dinners.
Take it for a honeymoon, an anniversary or a holiday for two, when what you want is quiet and service of a high level.
