The main resorts of Hainan

All the beaches in the resorts of Hainan are municipal, equipped with caring hoteliers with everything you need: sun beds, umbrellas and shower. The beaches are everywhere sandy and gentle, the water is warm and transparent. In the south of the island there are four bays, where Russian tourists mainly rest: Sanya, Sanyavan, Dadunhai and Yalunvan.

Yalunvan - the most elite recreation area, located in 25 km from the city of Sanya, is famous for its wide beaches with white sand. The most fashionable (and expensive) hotels and the largest diving centers are located here. In addition, the water in the Yalong Bay is the cleanest, the sea is particularly calm and slightly cooler than on other parts of the coast of the island. However, for evening entertainment from here you will have to go to Sanya (about 30 km and 50 RMB by taxi).

All hotels in Dadonghai resort zone, located 3-4 km from the city of Sanya, are located directly on the coast .This place is popular with surfers: in their opinion, there are right winds .However, the beaches of Dadunhai are very often overcrowded: the local population comes there, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are a little .By the way, the Chinese come to the beach not so much to bathe as to just sit on the stairs leading to the beach, admire the sea and observe the white aliens in their natural habitat..The Chinese themselves prefer to stay away from the sea - it's cheaper .

Sanyavan Bay is located near Sanya airport, its infrastructure is still developing. The main drawback of this resort area is that all the beaches are across the road. Coastal waters here are not as transparent as in Yalunvan, but the surrounding landscapes completely compensate for this. One of the most comfortable hotels in Sanyavan is the Holiday Inn, and very soon the largest five-star complex in Hainan "Howard Johnson" will open here.

In the bay of Sanya is the city of Sanya itself, one of the main resort centers of the island. In this area, hotels are mostly across the road from the beach.
