When daytime outings and excursions come to an end in Sanya, the city comes alive at night and is truly buzzing. A mix of bars, clubs, KTV lounges, live music and cultural shows means that there is something for everyone. 

        

Livewire revelers in Sanya can find their places of entertainments in plenty of nightclubs where they can drink and dance until morning.

 

Since Sanya has so many nightlife options to choose from it can be hard to know where to start. WOS has recommendations of some of the best bars and clubs in the city for drinks with a view of the beautiful Sanya Bay, clubbing on the classic Chinese style, enjoying a quiet cocktail at a local popular beach or heading out for some good food.

 

For a view

 

 

On the 29th floor of the new Four Points by Sheraton Hainan, the terrace from Flair has one of the best views in town, overlooking Sanya Bay. Given the location, it is frequented by those searching for a touch of class. It also has a great, spacious outdoor terrace which is perfect for relaxing at in the evening in Sanya’s warmer months.

 

For a view without making such a dent in your wallet, try the Lounge at the hotel. The Lounge offers various beers, cocktails, and cigars along with a large wine selection.
