The 90-room hotel will be in Clear Water Bay, a 12-kilometre stretch of sandy beach known as one of the world’s three ‘Singing Beaches’.
The hotel is a 35-kilometre drive from Sanya’s city centre, where guests can immerse in the region’s local culture through handicrafts, fabric and bamboo weaving, music, and festivals.
The hotel will include the signature Anantara Spa, a wellness centre, outdoor swimming pool and entertainment centre.
