Across some 20 hectares of southern Hainan Island oceanfront, hotelier Ian Schrager’s debut outpost in China promises to be all things; boasting an array of zones to cater to the young, active, adult and family, those seeking relaxation or culinary experiences. Some 500 residential-style guest rooms – all ocean view – plus 17 private villas set into a terraced hillside comprise accommodations. Most striking here is the 20,000sq m private ocean, crafted specifically for the hotel and fringed by teak pavilions for the resort’s guests’ enjoyment.
