Sanya Family Bay Vacation

Stay from Sanya Bay to Haitang Bay, featuring a different theme each day including islands, rainforests, and water parks.

Move across different areas from west to east with two hotel changes. Spend the first two nights in Sanya Bay to visit Nanshan and Tianya Haijiao, and the last two nights in Haitang Bay for easy access to Wuzhizhou Island and Atlantis. Yanoda is scheduled on the hotel-transfer day to avoid driving back and forth across the city. With only one main activity planned per day and midday hotel breaks to avoid the sun, this itinerary is perfect for families with primary school children.

Hotel rates are high during Chinese New Year and summer holidays. Advance booking is highly recommended for Wuzhizhou and Nanshan.
