Raffles Hainan
Shoreside resort for keen golfers
Lush tropical gardens and a stunning beach for quick dips into the aptly named Clearwater Bay for sunseekers, two adjacent Schmidt-Curly-designed golf courses for those hoping to perfect their swing on the resort’s undulating beachside terrain: Raffles’s 200-key Hainan outpost has a little something for everyone. Its rooms, suites and villas – which come with private pools and Jacuzzis – boast sumptuous Balinese-inflected interiors, while the range of its culinary offerings spans authentic Italian to classic Chinese. A 1,400sq m spa offers an escape within an escape with a range of international treatments, from traditional Swedish massages to a lotus-infused facial.
