InterContinental Sanya Haitang Bay Resort by IHG

The underwater restaurant inside a seawater aquarium is what separates this one from every other large resort on Haitang Bay. Rooms and suites look out over coastal forest to the sea from private balconies, with the building set back far enough to actually earn that view. The interior keeps things calm, contemporary with traditional touches, because the setting is doing most of the talking. About an hour east of Sanya city, on the National Coast.
