While some snowbirds flock to Sanya for the sunshine and golf, many winter refugees simply dream of lounging by a pool.

 

The coastal tropical city has become known for having the highest density of luxury hotels and resorts among all the cities in China.

 

Whether you want the infinity pools overlooking the ocean in tropical environments or artificial wave pools, there are swimming pools at these hotels that are destinations in their own right.

 

Here are some hotel pools in and around Sanya where you can ditch your winter coats and boots.

 

Renaissance Sanya Resort & Spa三亚万丽度假酒店

 

 

 

  

This enchanting pool, one of the largest in Sanya, gets its startling color from a base of mosaic glass tiles in white and blue. The effect is heightened at night as the underwater lights transform the swimming pool into a dazzling spectacle on the seafront and its shoreline deck often becomes a backdrop for glamorous events like international fashion shows.
