Capella Sanya, China
Capella Hotel Group has unveiled Capella Sanya on Hainan island, a 190-key resort with accommodation categories ranging from ocean-front and garden rooms, grand ocean and garden suites, one-to-four bedroom pool villas, up to a 440m2 chairman’s penthouse.
The hotel was designed by Jean-Michel Gathy and Bill Bensley, with inspiration drawn from the fabled history of China’s ancient Maritime Silk Road. Dining concepts include Lan Ting, a modern Cantonese restaurant styled after a traditional Chinese teahouse; Silk Road, which presents daily menus featuring cuisine from the Mediterranean and Middle East to India, Singapore and Thailand; The Library & Library Bar; and a pool and beach restaurant.
The resort’s 4,020m2 spa features what’s said to be Hainan’s first authentic hamman and a snow cabin that provides a wintry experience amid Hainan’s year-round tropical warmth.
Capella Sanya also offers 2,000m2 of meeting and function facilities, including a ballroom for up to 400 guests in banquet style.
