Hidden Hot Spring Retreat at Yulinzhou

Finding a seaside hotel in Hainan is easy, but a beachfront hotel with natural hot springs? The Howard Johnson Club Hotel at Yulinzhou in Dongfang is truly one of a kind. Just a 15-minute drive from Dongfang Station, the dual surprise of sea and springs will immediately captivate you upon arrival.

🌋 A Secret Hot Spring in the Backyard
The hotel's hot spring area is tucked away in the depths of its backyard. Five soaking pools are gently embraced by lush greenery, resembling sapphires embedded in a tropical jungle. The hot springs naturally flow from deep underground, rich in fluoride and metasilicic acid. Soaking in the warm waters, you can feel the heat spreading through your entire body, accompanied by the soothing rustle of leaves in the breeze—a truly healing experience.

🏨 Coastal Views from Your Room
Located about 2 kilometers from the coastline, the hotel’s premium sea-view rooms and deluxe sea-view rooms offer the perfect vantage point for breathtaking scenery. Open the window, and the coastline of Yulinzhou comes into full view, with cargo ships gliding across the sea. You can even purchase fresh coconuts at the hot spring area, enjoying the unique experience of sipping coconut water while soaking in the springs. The walk back to your room, wrapped in a bathrobe with the gentle breeze on your face, is particularly delightful.

🍤 A Culinary Journey on the West Coast
The Hui Shi Restaurant serves a variety of Western pastries for breakfast, with warm, soft croissants exuding a rich buttery aroma—an energizing start to your day. For dinner, the must-try dish is the fresh abalone with farmhouse chicken. The tender chicken paired with the chewy abalone feels like savoring the essence of both mountains and seas—a flavor unique to Dongfang.

During your three days here, you’ll wake up in comfort, soak in the hot springs in the backyard, and admire the coastal scenery from your room. It’s here that you’ll truly understand the essence of a vacation—not rushing through itineraries, but letting your body and mind be gently embraced by nature.
