Accor will welcome its first flagship Fairmont Resort in Greater China, with the arrival in December of the Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay on Hainan Island.
The new hotel is situated along the beautiful golden coastline of Haitang Bay and promises to be a captivating MICE destination when it opens at the end of the year. With conceptualisation by world-renowned interior designer Nick Winai Suansalee from Leo Design Group, as well as landscape architecture by Francis Leung, the former design director of Belt Collins, the resort has the formal symmetry often found in imperial palaces and offers a number of exquisite architectural gems that are destinations in their own right.
An eight-minute drive from Sanya Haitang Bay International Duty Free Shopping Complex, the resort offers 523 guestrooms and suites as well as residential apartments, with some of these accommodations set within a new Fairmont Gold Tower. Fairmont Gold is the brand’s premier lifestyle concept – a ‘hotel within a hotel’ – providing the highest level VIP services for the most discerning leisure and business guests.
Contemporary furnishings with generous use of wood, textured carpets, soothing upholstery, and soft leather enhance the relaxed elegance of the rooms, which are complemented by extensive leisure facilities, including a 9-hole golf course.
The resort is home to a number of unforgettable dining destinations. All-day Restaurant Veranda demonstrates its authentic style through interactive dining with a global selection of market-fresh food, highlighting Southeast Asian elements and flamed-barbequed seafood selections. Chinese Restaurant Yuen Court is the place for fine Cantonese cuisine alongside contemporary Hainanese treasures, while the Ocean Lounge boasts the best panoramic resort vista for an afternoon tea with refreshing ocean breezes or evening drinks and tantalising worldly tapas plates set against a stunning seaside setting.
Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay’s conference and banquet facilities include a 1,500sqm pillarless ballroom, nine meeting rooms, and a VIP function room, welcoming guests to celebrate corporate events, special occasions, and other important gatherings.
The resort’s leisure amenities include a tranquil Willow Stream Spa, a well-appointed Fairmont Fit gym, three outdoor swimming pools, and a truly intimate Fairmont Gold Lounge.
“With the roll-out of the masterplan for Hainan Free Trade Port, Hainan Island will create impactful opportunities mostly with tourism services and high-tech industries. It is perfect timing for the arrival of Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay to China’s largest special economic zone, as Hainan continues to transform into a major international trading, financial and shipping center,” says Gary Rosen, Accor Greater China’s Chairman and Chief Operating Officer. “With Fairmont properties already in some of the world’s most famous destinations, the Fairmont Sanya Haitang Bay will notably become a focal point of the Island and will exceed our leisure and MICE guests’ expectations with outstanding facilities and services. Turning special moments into lasting memories that could only be found at Fairmont.”
