🏨 Capella Sanya, known as the dazzling jewel of Sanya's luxury seaside resorts, is also recognized as the best hotel in Sanya.
🎨 The hotel was jointly designed by Aman’s exclusive designer Jean-Michel, world-renowned landscape architect Bill Bensley, and Hong Kong’s top designer for billionaires, Leung King Wah.
🌊 Opened in 2019, Capella Sanya draws inspiration from the ancient "Maritime Silk Road," featuring 190 exquisitely luxurious rooms (suites and villas), surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the magnificent South China Sea.
🌕 Water Curtain Lobby: "Beginning with the moon, ending with the sea," the circular pool at the bottom of the lobby symbolizes the blue sea, while the circular skylight above represents the full moon, encircling heaven and earth.
🌱 Central Lawn: As the hotel’s central landscape area, it embodies the traditional cultural concept of "round heaven and square earth," making it an ideal venue for wedding ceremonies.
🥂 Library and Bar: Every evening, the hotel hosts a cocktail party offering complimentary fruit drinks, providing a private, club-style leisure space.
🏖️ Terrace Water Feature: From the library, the vast terraced water feature draws the eye all the way to the sea, with the water surface extending from the library bar to the beach pool.
🏝️ Beach Pool Area: Capella introduces Miami’s Cabana private pavilion concept, offering shade and a gentle sea breeze.
🌅 Morning Ceremony: At 8:30 AM, with the lobby’s stargazing pool as the backdrop, a Tai Chi performance takes place in the center of the water, allowing guests to feel the energy Tai Chi brings within the square and round space.
🌌 Evening Ceremony: After nightfall, in the Capella lounge, staff open the navigation log to lead guests through different themed Maritime Silk Road activities, accompanied by carefully crafted wines and cocktails.
🏊♂️ Semi-outdoor 25-meter heated pool, eye-catching in color, with a red roof resembling shutters, protecting swimmers from UV rays at noon.
🏡 Recommended Room Types:
Listening Sea Pavilion: Capella’s Listening Sea Pavilion is the best garden view room in all of Sanya, 88 sqm, with a courtyard, especially suitable for families with children.
Le Shui Ju Garden View Suite: 125 sqm, featuring a super large public area, a unique black bathtub, and a bathing space comparable to a walk-in closet.
🍸 The in-room daily minibar offers all non-alcoholic drinks free of charge, including TWC tea, ginger water, Perrier, and snacks, replenished once daily.
🛏️ Bedding includes Ploh pillows, Sealy mattresses, Diptyque toiletries, showing great attention to detail even in the basic room types.
