Recommended Seaside Hotels with Pools

Pingtan Island, this underrated hidden gem, is truly underestimated! This time we stayed at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Cliff Seaview Homestay, a stunningly beautiful spot perfect for photos. The entire homestay is built on a cliff, offering a 180° unobstructed sea view plus an infinity pool that looks like a scene from a movie. Every snap is social media gold 🌊

📍 Location
Located in Diao Jiao Di, Diao Jiao Wei, Aoqian Town, right outside is a private beach, and it’s close to the county town and high-speed train station. The pure white Mediterranean-style buildings paired with the deep blue sea make every corner look like a movie set. We drove here ourselves, the navigation was accurate and parking was convenient~

✨ Must-Shoot Spots
1️⃣ Cliffside Infinity Pool
Best to shoot at 9 AM or 5 PM when the sunlight sparkles on the water like diamonds. Wearing bright-colored swimwear makes the photos pop, and bringing a straw hat as a prop is a plus. A top-down shot can capture the illusion of the pool merging with the sea!

2️⃣ Seaview Balcony
Our room’s balcony faces the East China Sea, so you can watch the sunrise over the sea without getting out of bed, and at night, lie down and count the stars. The photo of the girl gazing at the sea on the balcony (pic 2) was taken right here~

3️⃣ Creamy White Spiral Staircase
Shoot from the second floor at sunset; the curve of the staircase and the sea horizon form a golden ratio. Apply a low saturation filter and you instantly get a magazine cover vibe.
