Imagine bathing in your balcony while enjoying the sunset! A stay at the Kempinski Spa & Resort Sanya makes this a possibility.
No matter what kind of room you choose - standard or suite - you can enjoy a private balcony with a unique outdoor bathtub which overlooks either the tropical mountain or the South China Sea.
The most impressive feature of the resort is its sheer size. The 408 guest rooms are no smaller than 55 square meters each, with big beds, big chairs and big bathtubs. There are also 30 suites of 118 square meters.
For couples on their honeymoon, the resort offers a Cabana guest room. Though it has no ocean view, it does provide direct access to an exclusive swimming pool, with delightful views of the tropical garden.
Fronted by palm and coconut fronds, this low-rise resort sits on an isolated 300-m-long, 70-m-wide private soft sandy beach. It is Sanya Bay's only international five-star luxury beach resort. With its contemporary Asian design and state-of-the-art facilities, visitors can hope to find both the familiar and the exotic.
The resort, which opened in January 2007, follows the 110-year-old Kempinski tradition of top quality service, says its general manager Puneet Singh.
Listening to the sound of waves and watching surfers from a beach that sees few people, transports you to a world far away. But the resort is just a 15-minute drive from the Sanya Phoenix International Airport. However, you will hardly sense the proximity of the airport from your quiet rooms.
Don't miss a visit to the Angsana Spa. Managed by Banyan Tree, the well-trained therapists offer a full spa menu of Thai-style massages. A massage by the large outdoor pool with your spouse can be quite an experience.
Although the resort has three quality restaurants offering Chinese and Western cuisine, visitors especially German beer lovers, won't want to miss Paulaner Brauhaus. The beer is brewed fresh, right in front of you.
To spend a night at Paulaner is a lot of fun - sitting under the mango trees, listening to a live show of a Philippine band, enjoying a feast of German sausages and a mug of fresh German beer and feeling the gentle sea breeze.
Don't forget to stop by the Sunset Bar on the beach. Sit there for five minutes and you might forget who you are; and after 20 minutes you might forget the world, lost in the quiet beauty of the sunset.
