In Sanya, a city brimming with popular hotels, there exists a "low-key aristocrat": It has witnessed Yalong Bay's transformation from a fishing village into an international resort paradise, its lobby has appeared in countless tourism promotional videos, and its gardens have been written into hotel design textbooks. The Sheraton Sanya Yalong Bay has spent 22 years writing a legend of "lasting as new."
The hotel itself, covering an area of 180,000 square meters, is a giant work of art. A world-class landscape design company used the concept of a "sea garden" to create a three-dimensional garden with changing scenery at every step. The 98% vegetation coverage rate fills every corner with greenery, and the rockeries piled with volcanic rocks and the exquisite water system design connect the lobby, restaurants, and guest rooms with 7 landscape pools, presenting emerald green and peacock blue variations under different light, and finally converge into the central 1,500㎡ lagoon pool, forming a poetic metaphor of "the water system eventually flowing into the sea." The designer's philosophy is still amazing 22 years later.
If the Sheraton during the day is a quiet oasis, then the Spice Garden Restaurant in the evening transforms into a gourmet theater. Walking along the wave-shaped cooking table, you will find that it hides a rare "collision of tradition and new school" in Sanya's hotel circle: Wenchang Chicken, one of the four famous Hainanese dishes, insists on the ancient method of poaching, but is paired with coconut-flavored foam made with molecular cuisine technology; next to the French pan-fried foie gras, the chef roasts Li ethnic-style roasted chicken on the spot, which is very delicious.
Despite being open for 22 years, the guest rooms exude a warm luster like carefully maintained antique furniture. Instead of following the trend of smart homes, it retains the retro sentiment of solid wood furniture and hand-painted shell decorations; it refuses the "cold style" transformation and insists on using warm yellow tones and floral cushions to create a sense of vacation.
When the first rays of dawn appear, you may wish to book a beach yoga session. Stretching your body in the excellent sea view that has remained unchanged for 22 years, you suddenly realize the wisdom of this old hotel: true classics never need to chase trends, because it itself is the definer of trends. Those beautiful things that have been tempered by time will eventually become eternal poems.
