The Ritz-Carlton has debuted its second flagship resort on the lush, sun-soaked shores of Hainan Island, delivering an elevated standard of hospitality and lifestyle amenities, including an exclusive Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.
Now welcoming guests near the eastern coastal city of Wanning, the Ritz-Carlton, Nanyan Bay boasts 244 elegantly appointed rooms and suites alongside 14 ultra-private villas, each offering sweeping ocean views and bespoke service.
According to The Ritz-Carlton President and COO, Herve Humler, “Nanyan Bay marks a pivotal chapter for The Ritz-Carlton brand in Hainan, China’s celebrated ‘Hawaii of the East.’ Our collaboration with Hainan Golden Tide Tourism Development brings a world-class oceanfront escape to discerning global travelers eager to discover this enchanting region.”
Gourmands can indulge in five distinct culinary venues, including a signature Chinese restaurant, a chic poolside grill and bar, a sophisticated all-day dining space, and a refined lobby lounge. Exceptional events and celebrations are hosted in the 800-square-meter Grand Ballroom and over 1,600 square meters of dynamic meeting and event facilities. The resort also features a serene luxury spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, recreation pavilion, and multiple infinity pools. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate access to the first Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in China, designed by Jack Nicklaus. The wider resort enclave is enhanced by luxury residences, entertainment venues, and upscale boutiques.
Nestled beside the legendary Dongshan Ridge—renowned as Hainan’s premier mountain and home to some of the region’s oldest Buddhist temples—the resort offers proximity to natural hot springs, scenic hiking trails through ancient rainforests teeming with over 4,600 species of tropical flora and fauna, and the vibrant culture of local ethnic communities. Adventure seekers can embark on short speedboat excursions to secluded islands like Dazhou and Jiajiang, celebrated for crystal-clear waters, scuba diving, and a wealth of water sports.
