JW Marriott has welcomed the opening of JW Marriott Sanya Haitang Bay, located on the Haitang Bay, China. The property marks the group’s second resort on Hainan and eighteenth hotel in Greater China, seamlessly blending in with the lush landscape of the bay and illustrating the beguiling charm of the entire coast.

A 40-minute drive from Sanya Phoenix International Airport, the area is home to numerous tourist attractions including Wuzhizhou Island, Sanya Haichang Fantasy Town, Nanshan Temple and the Wanda International Cinema, among others. The hotel is located on a 21.8-kilometre-long shoreline, providing a luxury escape for travellers.

“We are delighted to continue to expand our brand portfolio in Sanya, China,” said Mitzi Gaskins, global brand leader of JW Marriott. The property’s 142 guestrooms and 18 villas feature private balconies and combine modern designs with genuine aesthetics to create the optimum sense of relaxation.

“The increase and transformation of the tourism market within China and specifically Hainan is significant, with the island now housing 23 hotels, covering different lifestyle needs,” said Henry Lee, president of Marriott International in Greater China.
