Yalong Bay in Hainan: hotels, photos, hotel map, reviews. Review of vacation in Yalong Bay
Yalong Bay in Hainan offers the best beach around Sanya city, where you will find everything you want: crystal clear water, white sand beach and the best beach resorts in China. Located approximately 25 km east of Sanya city and 35 km from Sanya Airport, Yalong Bay is crescent-shaped and offers a beach length of approximately 7,000 meters. The sea water here is so clear that visibility underwater can reach almost 8 meters. This makes Yalong Bay a very good place for diving and snorkeling.
If you just want to lie on the beach, enjoy swimming in crystal clear waters and relax in a luxurious resort hotel, then Yalong Bay is the best place for it all. Yalong Bay is a good choice for those who want to escape the busy city life.
Yalong Beach in Hainan is mostly dotted with resorts where tourists from all over the world relax. While relaxing on this beach, you won't feel like you're in China, as Yalongwan has the ambiance of a world-class resort area. If you want to visit a restaurant or go shopping, then it is best to go to the Crowne Plaza Yalong Bay hotel, as all the main shops and restaurants are located near it.
How to get to Yalong Bay from Sanya
A taxi from Sanya to any Yalong Bay resort will cost CNY 120-150. True, taxi drivers very rarely speak English, although some still understand a little Russian. In any case, you can simply name your hotel and find out the cost of your trip.

Yalong Beach
Yalong Beach is the main attraction of this area. This is a very long and beautiful beach, which in appearance is similar to the beaches of the islands in the Caribbean. It is worth noting that, unlike Dadonghai Beach, Yalongwan Beach does not have many local residents. That is, of course, there are Chinese here, but these are mainly tourists who came to rest in one of the hotels in Yalongwan. Yalong Beach is popular among tourists who want to enjoy a relaxing holiday in a good hotel located in a beautiful and very green place.
Yalong Bay
Yalong Bay attracts diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Many local travel agencies offer special tours to this bay, which are even called “The Underwater World of Yalong Bay”. The water in Yalong Bay is blue, clean and very transparent. Underwater visibility in this bay is excellent throughout most of the year, as the water here is almost always calm.
Since the water in Yalong Bay is quite calm, this bay is an excellent place to practice many types of water sports, with the exception of surfing.
The brightly colored coral reefs with a variety of tropical fish attract many diving and snorkeling enthusiasts to Yalong Bay. However, fishermen should forget about fishing in this bay as it is considered a marine sanctuary and fishing is prohibited here.
Attractions of Yalong Bay
There are not many attractions in the Yalongwan resort area, but not so far away you will find many very interesting places. Yalongwan Central Square is located in the heart of the resort area, where you can also find the Butterfly Valley and the Maritime Museum. Another attraction of this area is the rainforest.
The islands in Yalong Bay are also of interest to tourists. There are a total of five islands in the bay and the main one is Wild Boar Island.
Other interesting attractions can be found near Yalong Bay. Local tour companies offer excursions to almost all of these places, but you can get to some of them on your own.
Where to eat in Yalong Bay
In general, there are no problems with food in Yalong Bay, as there is a huge variety of restaurants and cafes on offer. The only thing is that almost all of these restaurants and cafes belong to hotels, which means that the cost of food in them will be quite high. So you are unlikely to be able to eat cheap all the time if you decide to choose a hotel in Yalong Bay. Just look at the interactive map of the Yalongwan area, and it becomes clear that this is exclusively a resort area and an area of luxury housing, so it is not surprising that there are almost no inexpensive cafes and restaurants here. However, you can always head to the Central Square area, where there are several restaurants and cafes with quite reasonable prices for food.
Hotels in Yalong Bay
Since Yalong Beach is considered the best beach in Hainan and one of the best beaches in the world, it should not surprise anyone that there are hotels here from famous international chains, including Gloria Resort (the first five-star resort in China), Sheraton Sanya Resort, Marriott Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Resort and Holiday Inn Resorts. There are also several hotels here managed by Chinese companies, including Horizon Resort, Mangrove Tree Hotel and Cactus Resort.
Each hotel in Yalong Bay has its own beach where hotel guests can relax. In general, if you are a beach lover, then hotels in Yalong Bay are perfect for you.
Map of hotels in Yalong Bay
As we said above, some of the best hotels on Hainan Island are located in Yalong Bay. If you believe the reviews of tourists, then the hotels in this bay are indeed of very high quality. You can look at the photo to see what hotels are in this bay. We have presented a simple map of Yalong Beach hotels.
In Yalong Bay, hotels are not inferior in class, and often superior to hotels in Dadonghai Bay, popular among Russian tourists. If we compare hotel prices in these two most famous bays of Hainan Island, then hotels in Yalongwan are generally somewhat more expensive.
If Dadonghai Bay has a richer nightlife, then Yalong Bay has more developed active sea recreation. The Seabed World entertainment complex in Yalunwan offers diving, yachting, fishing, rock climbing, etc.
Yalongwan is located away from the capital of Hainan, Sanya, about an hour from Phoenix Airport. For some, the distance from the city center may be a minus, but for others a plus. If you are interested in a quiet, measured holiday, mainly at a hotel, then this is the place for you. But there are few options for where to go in the evening. To walk around the city, you will have to go to the center or to the lively Dadonghai Bay, where there are many bars, restaurants (including those with Russian-speaking staff), clubs and shops.
In the description of Yalong Bay hotels, room prices are indicated as of March 2013. You can find out the current prices at the time of viewing by following the link “compare prices in different booking systems” under room prices. You can also book your chosen hotel using this link. Prices are indicated in rubles, but keep in mind that if you pay for your room upon arrival at the hotel, you will need to pay in Chinese yuan.

If you have stayed in any of these hotels, or in other hotels in Yalong Bay, share your reviews in the comments.
Yalun Bay translated means “Dragon Bay”. The Chinese themselves call it the “First Gulf of the Celestial Empire”, paying tribute to the magnificent landscape of this area. The bay is surrounded by a series of hills containing untouched tropical forests.
The 7 kilometer long coastline is shaped like a moon. The southern end of the bay is a bizarre jumble of wild rocks. Previously, until hotels appeared in Haitangbay Bay and others, it was considered the most remote resort area from the airport.
Distance from the airport -
30-35 km, the transfer takes about 1 hour, from Yalun Bay to the center of Sanya or Dadonghai the travel time is 40-50 minutes.
Who is resting -
Mostly VIP tourists, not only Chinese, but also foreign ones, for whom the level of service, service, peace and tranquility are very important. Holidays in Yalunwan are suitable for families with children or newlyweds, as well as older people who do not need clubs and discos.
Beach -
The entire beach line, which is 7 kilometers, is a delightful beach with very fine white sand. The beach in the bay is wide (up to 50 m) and not crowded. The combination of a transparent turquoise sea with dazzling white sand seems to transport you to paradise. The beach is surrounded by shady palm trees and mangroves. Given its large size, the beach is never crowded even during the peak tourist season.
There is a wonderful sandy entrance to the sea, there are no pebbles or corals, so Yalongwan is an ideal place for families with children.
On the first coastline there are five-star chain hotels with “their own beaches.” They are equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers and always have their own rescue station. But, of course, there is no territorial division of the bay. Relax and swim wherever you want.
For sun loungers you will have to pay from 4 to 7 dollars (30 to 50 yuan); the cost depends on the proximity to the water: the closer to the sea, the more expensive. Showers and toilets are free.
Swimming areas are surrounded by buoys. There are practically no traders. There are bars with high prices. In some places there is a large local population, but hotels with their own sun loungers on the beach mostly have only their own tourists. Many tourists and locals come to this bay to swim from Dadonghai.
It’s a little busier near the YALONG BAY LAN RESORT SANYA 5* hotel, because there you can rent diving equipment, ride a banana boat and other beach attractions:
- the dive will cost from 65 to 140 dollars (450 to 900 yuan). The programs are different: sunken ship, coral reefs, professional diving;
- scooter riding (only with an instructor) - 23 dollars (150 yuan) for 15 minutes;
- ride on a banana - 15 dollars or 150 yuan;
- fishing on a boat - 60 dollars or 400 yuan, on a specially equipped boat - 153 dollars (1000 yuan);
- sea trip on a boat with a transparent bottom (to view the seabed) - 33 dollars (220 yuan).
Sea -
The sea in the bay is very calm, so the water is clean and clear. In some places, the bottom is visible to a depth of 10 meters, making it possible to practice diving and snorkeling.
In addition, the resort has no ebbs and flows, no storms or typhoons.
Hotels -
Hotels located along the coastline have their own beaches with free sun loungers and umbrellas. It is in this bay that there are many luxurious and most expensive hotels of world-famous chains, such as:
PULLMAN SANYA YALONG BAY RESORT&SPA 5*,
THE RITZ CARLTON SANYA 5*,
SHERATON SANYA RESORT 5*,
HILTON SANYA RESORT&SPA 5*,
SANYA MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA 5*.
There are few 4* hotels in Yalong Bay. We can recommend:
GRAND METRO PARK SANYA 4*,
UNIVERSAL RESORT SANYA 4+*,
CACTUS RESORT SANYA 4+*.
The CACTUS RESORT SANYA 4+* hotel is very popular. The hotel is located in Yalong Bay among picturesque mountains, next to the lake, in close proximity to the Butterfly Gorge. The private sandy beach is about 1 kilometer away; guests are transported by electric cars.
The HUAYU RESORT & SPA hotel (formerly CROWNE PLAZA SANYA 5*) is ideal for both relaxation and business conferences. It was built in Chinese style, a bit like a Chinese palace.
The hotel restaurants offer both Chinese and European cuisine. You can sample Chinese cuisine at the resort's restaurants. The most popular dish at the resort at affordable prices is Chinese noodles with a side dish.
Entertainment -
Recreation in Yalong Bay, as a rule, is limited only to the hotel area. Fans of active recreation may find it a bit boring here, since everything “dies out” in the evening.
It is a fairly quiet place and what can be called entertainment is mainly centered around the Central Square. There are cafes and restaurants, and a small entertainment area for children.
In the theater hall of the UNIVERSAL RESORT SANYA 4+* hotel you can see an enchanting show by Chinese masters.
From the HUAYU RESORT & SPA hotel (formerly CROWNE PLAZA SANYA 5*) begins a street of bars and restaurants (about 30), very popular among young people. Here you can relax, dance, listen to pleasant music.
There is also a market with branded departments, plus a grocery supermarket, the prices of which are higher than in Dadonghai.
Fresh seafood is especially prized at every seaside resort. In the restaurants of the bay you can always taste perfectly cooked shrimp, crabs, lobsters, a variety of shellfish and tropical fish. This huge variety can be seen in restaurant display aquariums and, of course, ordered.
There are 2 Russian cafes in the bay: “Beryozka” and “Tavern”, where cuisine adapted for Russian tourists is offered at affordable prices.
The resort's nightlife is concentrated mainly in the bars or around the hotel pools. Almost all 5* hotels provide an evening program for guests: live performances and interactive activities with vacationers.
For more dynamic experiences, tourists go to the city of Sanya.
Diving, surfing and kitesurfing in Hainan -
In 1995, China's first diving club, the Haiyu 18th Latitude International Diving Club, opened in Yalunwan. Today, there are more than 10 companies operating in the Sanya area providing the services of professional scuba diving instructors.
From May to July, southeast and easterly winds blow here, making Yalong Bay an excellent place to learn kitesurfing. It is worth noting that a weakened southern storm sometimes reaches Hainan, and then surfers dominate the coastal waters for several days.
Attractions -
Among the attractions of Yalongwan, one can note the central square, on which a stone totem measuring 27 meters is installed.
“Museum of Tropical Sea Shells”, which presents unique exhibits. This is the first museum of its kind in China and also the largest. This is an amazing museum, which is equipped with modern technology, thanks to which you can examine representatives of the animal world in more detail and learn about their life.
“Butterfly Valley” is one of the largest butterfly breeding centers located opposite the CACTUS RESORT SANYA 4+* hotel (entrance to the park is free for residents of this hotel). “Valley of the Butterflies” is a picturesque park where a large number of all kinds of butterflies live among tropical vegetation. In total there are more than two thousand species and conditions have been created for them as close as possible to their natural habitat.
Tropical forest park Yalong Bay Tropic Paradise Forest Park - we can say that this is a natural, cultural and entertainment place, since here you will not only experience natural beauty, but also be able to test your endurance.
You can walk along the hanging bridge, visit the Dragon World theme park and once you climb to the very top you will see a magnificent panorama of Yalong Bay.
You can take a trip through the waters of this bay on a special submarine and get acquainted with the beauty of the local coral reefs and their inhabitants.
Prices -
The only drawback of Yalong Bay is that there are few shops here and food in restaurants is quite expensive. For example, 2 mangoes in Yalunwan cost 30 yuan, and in Dadonghai we bought 3 fruits for 12. Here prices are higher for fruits and souvenirs.
Transport -
If you live in another bay, then you can get to Yalong Beach for 5-10 yuan by bus No. 15, 25, 29 (they go from Sanya via Dadonghai) or by taxi - pay by meter. The price of a bus and taxi depends on the distance of the trip. From Sanyabei it takes about 40-50 minutes, from Dadonghai 20-30. It’s better to get off at the Central Square, it’s easiest to get to the beach from here.
Medical centers -
In Yalong Bay, on the territory of the Yalong Bay Villas & Spa Resort Sanya Hotel 5*, there is the famous TAI CHI Center of Chinese Medicine.
Considering the level of hotels located in the Yalong Resort, hotel spas also guarantee the highest quality of service.
