Sheraton Hotels - Sanya & Shenzhou Enjoy Hainan’s tropical golf paradise at three Sheraton hotels Golfers can combine playing some of the best golf courses in the south and east of China’s tropical Hainan Island with a stay at three luxury Sheraton hotels. Two of them – the Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort and Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula – are on the beautiful, untouched Shenzhou Peninsula alongside 36-hole Tom Weiskopf masterpiece The Dunes, while the Sheraton Sanya Resort is directly opposite the magnificent 18-hole Yalong Bay Golf Course.
Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort Located in Shenzhou Peninsula’s Festival Bay and facing the South China Sea, the Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort forms part of a complex that includes sister property Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula, giving a total of 646 rooms and suites, four dining facilities, six lounges and bars, a wedding chapel, meeting and banqueting space, a sandy beach, 50-metre-long T-shaped swimming pool and lagoon, kids club, spa and fitness centre – plus The Dunes course. The hotel, which opened in August 2011, features 308 capacious and comfortable guest rooms and suites, each with its own beautiful ocean view. It provides a variety of gourmet choices: Feast, which features the freshest international and local ingredients; authentic Cantonese food in Yue, the hotel’s fine dining Chinese restaurant; and, on the lobby floor, the South Seas Terrace – an ideal place to chill out with a wide range of wines and cocktails in a comfortable setting. Shine Spa for Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort offers five signature treatments by Spanish cosmetics producer Germaine de Capuccini, including a massage, facial, body treatment, manicure/pedicure and a treatment for two – to help guests find their glow. The facilities include 12 elegant treatment rooms set amid tropical lush gardens.

Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Opened in December 2011, the Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula was the first Four Points by Sheraton resort in Greater China and combines tropical gardens with funky and contemporary architecture styles. The hotel features 338 guest rooms and suites, and most rooms have a beautiful sea view. The Eatery, the hotel’s signature all-day dining restaurant that features a wide range of a la carte dishes and a large buffet of Western and Asian favourites, is fun, colourful and big on value. Enjoy delightful moments right here at the seafront Sichuan Hotpot restaurant, where stunning landscape and delicate and authentic Sichuan hotpot is offered to delight chili lovers’ cravings. Relax with a selection of ice-cold beers from the Best Brews beer programme in the fun pub atmosphere of Jive after a long day at the beach, playing golf or sightseeing. And nestled in the hotel’s lush garden, the poolside bar provides beverage and snack choices to chill guests’ tropical holidays. Guests can enjoy an invigorating workout at the fully-equipped fitness centre, sample a range of treatments in the Shine Spa, or simply drift in the 200-metre lagoon pool amid lush tropical gardens. An activity and water sports schedule is on offer for the active-minded, while young guests from three to 12 years old can enjoy creative classes and fun games with new friends. The hotel also has more than 2,742 square metres of indoor and outdoor function space, including a 1,210sq m pillar-less ballroom, The Theatre.
The Dunes A 36-hole golf course, The Dunes has been thoughtfully designed by internationally-renowned Tom Weiskopf to make the most of the distinctive geography and dramatic beauty of this unique location – from the rugged coastal dunes to the large, craggy boulders. The unique native bunker style has also been designed to blend in with natural surroundings and made to look like it has been there for centuries. It comprises the West and East Courses, which can be combined to form a separate Composite Course, complemented by an additional five practice holes, a world-class golf academy and a stunning, modern clubhouse. The courses present golfers with mature trees, natural waterways, dunes, seaside vegetation, gentle elevation changes and spectacular ocean views along with the majestic rock outcrops.
