Marriott International has signed an agreement with Hainan Qianrui Industrial Development Co., Ltd. to bring the W Hotels brand to Sanya, the tourist hub located on China’s southerly island province of Hainan. Located in Sanya Bay, W Sanya is slated to open in the second quarter of 2028.
W Sanya is an avant-garde 15-storey building that boasts a remarkable and sprawling rooftop terrace. The hotel is expected to offer 260 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites, with over half of the rooms featuring uninterrupted ocean views. Guests can also enjoy a refreshing dip in the outdoor infinity pool against a stunning skyline backdrop.
The hotel is also slated to feature four signature restaurants and bars. Design plans for the property include signature facilities such as the WET® deck and swimming pool, FIT® fitness center, and AWAY® Spa, which will provide guests with rejuvenating and revitalizing experiences, ensuring their energy remains balanced for their next big adventure.
Nestled on the southern coast of Hainan province, Sanya is known as the “Hawaii of the East” for its tropical flair and picturesque scenery. With its crystal blue waters and lush coconut groves, Sanya Bay is an outstanding option for a getaway, with visitors able to enjoy the seaside retreat and embrace local culture and traditions.
Conveniently located only four kilometres from Sanya Phoenix International Airport, W Sanya is adjacent to renowned landmarks and attractions such as Tianya Haijiao, Dadonghai Beach, and Phoenix Island, creating a highly sought-after destination for guests.
The unveiling of W Sanya will further cement the company’s growing luxury footprint in southern China.
