PB hotel design editorial

Balinese meru towers rising from a South China Sea shoreline tell you immediately that something architecturally ambitious — and slightly contradictory — is at work here. Raffles Hainan, set along Clearwater Bay on China's tropical island province, deploys the formal vocabulary of Indonesian temple architecture — steeply pitched pavilion roofs with copper-patinated finials, carved stone detailing, layered landscape terraces thick with coconut palms and heliconias — across a resort scaled for the Chinese luxury market. The result is a sprawling complex of mid-rise wings, perhaps six or seven storeys, whose massing is softened at dusk by warm amber uplighting that turns the canopy of mature plantings into something closer to a garden city than a hotel compound. Inside, the interiors navigate between Southeast Asian craft references and the clean-lined contemporary idiom that Chinese hospitality design has increasingly favored since the 2010s. Guest rooms carry warm-toned timber wall paneling, stone vessel sinks, and botanical-print bed runners in teal and ochre against ivory linen — tropical detail held within a composed, neutral envelope. The all-day restaurant mixes grey banquette seating with rope-back chairs, teak tabletops, and a large-scale relief wall sculpture in layered sandstone that anchors the space with genuine material presence. At the beachfront infinity pool, canopied day-beds line the water's edge, a dark volcanic-stone pagoda structure framing the view westward across the South China Sea.

About

Raffles Hainan features 289 elegant guestrooms and suites, starting from 80 sqm – the largest in Sanya. Each room enjoys magnificent ocean and golf course views from your private balcony. Offering even greater levels of privacy and exclusivity, 32 exquisitely appointed Private Villas are located by the beach. Each offers a private pool and garden, and access to a private Clubhouse, which offers a restaurant, gym, library and a relaxation lounge. Dining is a highlight at Raffles Hainan with five superb restaurants including Italian, Chinese, Asian and Western cuisines, whilst the legendary Raffles’ Long Bar has also travelled to Hainan. The original Long Bar shares an important history with Hainan, as it was Ngiam Tong Boon a bartender from Hainan who first created the world-famous Singapore Sling in 1915. The first Raffles Spa in China is a sumptuous 1,400 sqm sensory retreat designed to resemble a small Chinese village.

"Worst hotel I’ve been to. Starting from no welcome drinks, towels, even english speaking front desk manager. Only a few people who can speak. The Hotel made an early check-in and room upgrade, but to tell the truth most all reputable hotels do this. The hotel room is outdated! Everything is with scratches and dirty stains! Breakfast is more or less fine… but most personnel is not interested in foreign visitors they prefer home native…An Italian restaurant was really good!Good and fast laundry with the discount. Awful prices for evening BBQ and grill on the beach… Not to forget about awful prices for photos for the photo-session (30 min complimentary). The territory was Great! Several persons who are really working hard were our butler, Anna and a waiter from Italian restaurant Anastasia! Some of the personnel were really kind…To make two ends meet the hotel is extremely overpriced! I do not recommend it! Shame on Raffles franchise, they are really not interested at all ! They do not control anything there… as I understood … Chinese management… Many smoking people from China, some of the hotel staff is also smoking…Chinese Moms and kids pissing on the lawn while people eat in Sing Ken Ken…though the WC is just in front of them..The beach is beautiful but the water is shallow and you have to walk long distance to swim, if You wish…The swimming pools are also shallow! With poor quality pool filters, all our clothes were with yellow stains. Please pass by … don’t waste Your money! Thanks for free transfer to CDF mall and Sanya! Sightseeing is Great! Good luck! Wish Your hotel New management and no students working!"

"The hotel is not inexpensive, but it does not cost an arm and leg either. Once in the property, there is a coordinated effort by all depts to make you feel like royalty. The security at various entry points are manned, the butler is extremely proactive and wants to make a connection to understand then fulfil your needs. The complimentary coconuts and photo shoots make you feel important. The range of food and service in the restaurants are excellent and the entire compound is picturesque and regal. It really looks like a compound built for royalties and the activities and facilities are perfect for families too. The beach is breathtaking and the pools even have its own tube slides. There is a daily recital performance with complimentary drinks that are top standards. Coming to this property is to experience royal standards. And the rooms, they are as good as they can be. Thank you for the experience provided for our stay."
