Thailand-based global hospitality company Dusit International, represented in China by Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, has opened Dusit Thani Sandalwoods Resort Shuangyue Bay Huizhou, Guangdong, a deluxe resort overlooking the emerald waters of the South China Sea in Pinghai ancient city.

Comprising 350 well-appointed rooms and suites set within a 30-storey tower, the beachfront resort is set to become a major lifestyle hub. It features seven different restaurants, a 1,150 square metre ballroom, eight multi-function meeting rooms, a fully equipped gym, a kids’ club, an archery range, a cinema, and other recreational facilities.

This family-friendly resort also features an extensive outdoor water facility with four different swimming pools, including a grand swimming pool, a boat-shaped pool, a children’s pool, and an infinity pool overlooking the sea. The skyline pool on the 30th floor, meanwhile, provides a tranquil retreat for guests to swim and soak up views of the impressive mountainous landscape.
