Day 1: Sanya · Classic Coastline
📍Yalong Bay: The public areas of the Sheraton Hotel are super beautiful! It's very convenient to walk to the beach from the hotel, and you can find small colorful shells on the beach, perfect for a stroll.
📍Sun Bay: A must-visit for self-driving! The coastal road scenery along the way is breathtakingly beautiful. Climb onto the reefs to feel the awe of the blue ocean. This is also the boarding point for water activities like snorkeling at Baifu Island.
📍Dadonghai: Lots of foreigners! There are many chill shops to check out. The classic photo spot for "Window of the Sea" is at Quanquanzi Restaurant & Bar.
🍴Food Recommendation: For lunch, head to "Big Pineapple" (bought super cute coconut chicken at Miniso on the first floor).
Day 2: Lingshui · The Singing Beach
📍Clearwater Bay Freedom Lighthouse: Clearwater Bay's beach is fantastic, with clear water and fine sand, a gentle and wide coastline, and sand as soft as milk powder. You'll truly feel healed by the sea here!
📍Hongde Pitaya Base: Visit the illuminated flower sea at night, teach your kids about tropical fruits, and pick a pitaya with your own hands.
🍴Food Recommendation: For lunch, try Hubo Vanilla Duck. Highly recommend the yellow lantern sauce baked beef and the duck liver sauce scallion pancakes! The fried ice is also delicious. For dinner, arrange for the delightful Coconut Chicken, the sweet and clear soup base is loved by the whole family.
Day 3: Lingshui · Wild Secret Realm
📍Lingzai Village: Take your kids to catch seafood at low tide; you'll find so many starfish and shells that your hands will ache. The water here is clear and shallow, especially suitable for young children.
📍Huling: The ultimate spot for toddlers to play in the water. If you're lucky, you can even feed the little monkeys.
🍴Food Recommendation: Raffles Land Sand Village Buffet Restaurant. Dining on the beach is incredibly romantic!
Day 4: Lingshui · Amusement Park Carnival Day
📍Ocean Happy World: Interact closely with marine animals, watch mermaid shows, ride roller coasters and Ferris wheels, and enjoy a fireworks display. Easily entertain your kids all day long.
🍴Food Recommendation: For dinner, arrange for Taiqiong Zao Po Cu (sour and spicy vinegar hotpot), which is appetizing. The beef is super fresh and tender when hot-potting!
Day 5: Wanning · Sweet Ranch
📍Treeco Cocoa Plantation: Pick cocoa pods + DIY chocolate. Your kids won't want to leave.
📍Luwan Ranch + Shuiji: The ranch environment is beautiful, making it easy to take great photos. The small animals are not afraid of people and are very greedy, they will chase you for food, super adorable!
🍴Food Recommendation: Rou Rou Family Restaurant, located right in the ranch. Eating here also grants you free admission.
🍉Tips for Traveling with Kids
✔️Lingshui is less crowded than Sanya, making for a more relaxed trip.
✔️Sunscreen! Mosquito repellent! Bring plenty of water play gear; your kids can have fun all day.
✔️Only plan for 2 spots each day, leaving enough time to relax, take photos, and enjoy a slow-paced vacation.
