Hainanโ€™s accommodation is dominated by big beach resorts, especially around Sanya (Yalong Bay, Haitang Bay, Sanya Bay). The many guesthouses and small inns usually only take bookings through Chinese platforms: we only list places with an official website here. For high season (November to April, and especially Chinese New Year), book early.
