The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay

Nestled along the pristine shores of Hainan Island, The Ritz-Carlton Sanya offers a seamless blend of tropical serenity and refined luxury. From the moment you arrive, the resort sets a tone of understated elegance, with lush landscaped gardens, tranquil lagoons, and sweeping ocean views that immediately transport you into a world of relaxation. The accommodations are nothing short of exceptional. Spacious rooms and private villas are thoughtfully designed with contemporary Asian influences, featuring high ceilings, elegant furnishings, and generous balconies or terraces. Many offer direct lagoon access or panoramic sea views, creating a sense of privacy and exclusivity that is perfect for both couples and families. Dining at the resort is a highlight in itself. With a diverse selection of restaurants, guests can indulge in everything from authentic Cantonese cuisine to fresh seafood and international favorites. Each venue is complemented by attentive service and beautifully curated settings, whether it’s a romantic beachfront dinner or a lively family gathering. What truly elevates the experience is the impeccable service. The staff (Jay) consistently go above and beyond, delivering warm, personalized hospitality that feels genuine rather than scripted. He heard I’m coughing and he immediately prepared a glass of warm honey lemon for me. The resort’s facilities cater to a wide range of interests. Multiple swimming pools, including a stunning lagoon-style pool, offer ample space to unwind. The spa provides a sanctuary of wellness with expertly delivered treatments, while the beach—clean, expansive, and serene—invites long walks and quiet moments by the sea. Families will also appreciate the well-organized kids’ activities and family-friendly amenities. While the resort is undeniably luxurious, it maintains a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, a family vacation, or simply a peaceful retreat, The Ritz-Carlton Sanya delivers an experience that is both memorable and deeply rejuvenating. In every sense, it exemplifies what a world-class resort should be—beautifully designed, flawlessly operated, and genuinely unforgettable. It is worth the price you pay for it.

Had a lovely getaway experience to Sanya staying at the Ritz Carlton Sanya. After a very short ride from the train station to the resort which is located right on popular Yalong Bay, we were offered a very warm welcome by the GM - Ms Sherona Lau. We were checked into a very spacious and well appointed room with large balcony offering good ocean view. The resort offers good choice of F&B options, beachfront restaurants with band and even a ice cream bar. The highlight of our stay is however the Club as it provided us with such good valued, round the clock meals with drinks and bites in between. The beef rice noodles is seriously addictive. Club staff also always welcome us with a lovely smile, Jay was especially thoughtful.The resort's leisure facilities are also top notch, spa, multiple pools, picket ball and beach volleyball courts, huge gym, spa and even a fishing pond. We really do not need to travel out during our 3 nights' stay and just fully enjoy a very relaxing stay at resort. I hope to revisit this lovely resort again when I next visit Sanya.

This is truly an unforgetable experience. The service, the facilities, as well as the place a re fantastic. This truly is luxury. Can only recommend it. The coolest thing was probably the selection of pools with fun toys like waterguns and jetskis to rent.

Arrived to the most beautiful welcome, weather and resort - the Ritz-Carlton Sanya had the most superb, friendly and helpful staff paired with an incredibly stunning location, comfy rooms, brilliant facilities, activities, and lovely restaurants. Would especially recommend the Italian or lunch at the Sand Bar. If you are looking for a special holiday, restful break, or simply a first class holiday, I could not recommend it more. Can’t wait to go back already!

Wonderful service, dining, and resort. Was an amazing experience and hope to return soon.

From pickle ball tournaments to slow dancing in the restaurant- amazing experience!

The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. The view is stunning, and despite the fact that the hotel is showing signs of aging, property maintenance is ongoing everywhere you go. A lovely blend of bars, restaurants, lawn spaces and pools made this a beautiful and relaxing honeymoon trip.

Tech is a bit outdated (for example, only USB2 ports in the hotel room) throughout. Lounge Club food could have been more sophisticated.

I had a fantastic stay at The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained. The beach, gardens, and overall environment make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a luxury vacation. The Executive Lounge was one of the highlights of my stay. The team there provided truly excellent service every time I visited. Special thanks to Alice, Jay, Willa, and May. They were always warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Their professionalism and friendliness made the lounge experience very comfortable and enjoyable. You can really feel the Ritz-Carlton standard through their service. The fitness center is also outstanding, with modern equipment and a very clean environment. I would like to thank James, Jerry, and Peter from the gym team. They were very friendly and helpful, always making sure guests felt welcome and that everything was running perfectly. Overall, the service throughout the resort was exceptional. The staff truly go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay to anyone looking for a relaxing and high-quality resort experience.

Отличный сервис, завтраки и территория отеля.

Пляжная зона немного далеко от отеля.

We visited during a busy time frame right around the Chinese new year. But the hospitality I received from the hotel is beyond what I have expected. This is the second time I have visited this property, the last time is 2008 right after the grand opening of ritz Sanya. The property does show its age after almost 20 years of service, but the staff members is what turns a stay into an experience. Lena, our personal butler, is a prime example of being above and beyond to ensure our stay is as smooth as possible. She greeted us with a thorough introduction of all the facilities on ritz Sanya and followed up with all the activities we can try. We ended up trying several of the in house activities and they were all great. The room is large and comfortable, and of course a great view of the beach and sea. When the sun is out, a glance out of the balcony really made this trip worth it. Overall I would recommend this location to family oriented people, it would make your time worth while.
