Sanya is a popular tourist destination on Hainan Island, China’s largest island and the most southerly part of the country. Situated in the tropics, the island is China’s premier beach destination, popular with Chinese tourists and now slowly being discovered by foreign visitors. Hainan offers a year-round warm climate and miles of golden beaches lined with palm trees. Overlooking the South China Sea, Sanya is close to some of the most beautiful white beaches China has to offer, and also has a bustling city centre with many restaurants and bars within easy reach from the main hotels.
