Sanya Bay stretches for about 22 kilometers along the coast, offering a more laid-back atmosphere than the bustling beaches of Yalong Bay. The beach promenade is perfect for leisurely strolls, cycling, or jogging, with palm trees providing shade. The bay provides excellent views of Phoenix Island, a man-made island featuring luxury hotels and a landmark lighthouse. At sunset, the sky often paints vibrant colors over the bay, making it a favorite spot for photographers.

Don't miss

  • Walk or bike along the beach promenade, enjoying the ocean breeze and palm trees.
  • Photograph the sunset over the bay with Phoenix Island in the foreground.
  • Visit the Phoenix Island lighthouse for panoramic views of the bay and city.
