Atlantis Sanya
三亚·亚特兰蒂斯
A landmark resort complex in Haitang Bay with a water park, The Lost Chambers Aquarium, and a dolphin lagoon. It is the top choice for family vacations.
Atlantis Sanya is a large resort complex developed through a partnership between Fosun Group and the Dubai-based Atlantis brand. It opened in 2018 on the central coast of Haitang Bay. The complex includes a hotel with over 1,300 guest rooms, a water park, The Lost Chambers Aquarium, Dolphin Lagoon, Sea Lion Park, a duty-free store, and dozens of restaurants. The water park is the centerpiece. It features the Poseidon's Leap high-speed slide, which drops almost vertically, a transparent slide that passes through a shark pool, a lazy river, a wave pool, and a children's splash zone. Non-guests pay about 300 to 400 yuan for a separate ticket, while hotel guests enter free. The Lost Chambers Aquarium is themed on the myth of Atlantis. It has a giant panoramic tank and 86,000 marine creatures, and tickets cost about 200 yuan. Dolphin Lagoon offers interactions with dolphins for an additional fee. Tips for your visit: staying one to two nights at the hotel is most economical. Spend one day at the water park and another at the aquarium and beach. If you are not staying at the hotel, you can buy a separate ticket for the water park or the aquarium, and arrive early in the morning to avoid queues. Getting there: take Bus 33 or 34 to the 'Atlantis' stop. A taxi from the city takes about one hour, or you can walk about 15 minutes from the duty-free mall. Note: bring your own swimsuit, as lockers cost extra. Some slides have height restrictions. Hotel rates are high in peak season, so book in advance. At night, the hotel's exterior light show and palm tree views are free to enjoy.
