The 1 Hotels brand, known for green luxury in Manhattan and Miami, brings the same unfinished eco-materials aesthetic to Hainan island, where it blends more naturally than you'd expect. This is a self-contained luxury resort: five pools, six restaurants and bars, the Bamford Wellness Spa, and a serious gym, all holding a Michelin Key. Rooms are contemporary and genuinely plush, and you'd need a reason to leave the property, which is sort of the point.

Luhuitou Mountain, whose name comes from a Hainan legend about a deer who turned into a woman and looked back for the fisherman she loved, rises behind this serviced residence on Dadonghai's crescent bay. The 186 apartments run from studios to three-bedroom penthouses, most with balconies and fully equipped kitchens, 500 meters from water calm enough to make the busier resort strips down the coast feel unnecessary.

The East and West towers of this large JW Marriott beach resort sit directly against the Maritime Coral Reefs Natural Reserve, which is either very scenic or a standing argument about hotel development, depending on your mood. Dining runs from Cantonese private rooms to Korean teppanyaki, and a glass-walled bakery lets you watch pastry being made from the corridor. The ballroom is the largest in Dadonghai Bay, so prepare for wedding weekends.

A boutique hotel tower right on Sanya Bay, where the sea-facing rooms step back in terraced layers to grab a little more open sky. Inside, the rooms and suites run crisp and minimalist without skimping on comfort, and many have open-air terraces. It sits close enough to the city that restaurants and shops are walkable, which sets it apart from the resort compounds further up the coast.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the curve of Dadonghai Bay from nearly every room in this modern beach resort, which sits where Sanya's city blocks start dissolving into the Luhuitou Peninsula. The minimalist interiors keep ornamentation light so the tropical view does the heavy lifting. An outdoor pool and poolside bar hold the daytime crowd together, and two restaurants mean you can avoid leaving until checkout without much suffering.
