Going on a 5-Day Sanya Trip Without Reading This Guide is a Waste

🌴 5-Day Dream Sanya Itinerary | Xidao Island Sunset + Clearwater Bay Pool Party + Haikou Industrial Style & Nanyang Old Street‼️ Day 1️⃣: Island Hopping for Sunset ✨ Xidao Island Accommodation Recommendation: Stay at the coral stone wall guesthouse [Xidao Yuanzi], where the host will take you clam digging and crab catching! The detached villa has its own pool + outdoor loungers, and opening the window reveals a crystal-clear sea. Rent a small electric scooter at 4pm to tour the island. The Love Wall/Niuwang Island are super photogenic. Wait by the sea at 6pm for the orange sunset 🌅 (Remember to buy the cuttlefish cakes from the fishing village market - 3 for CNY 10!) Day 2️⃣: Clearwater Bay Relaxation Guide 🏨 Must-Visit Pool Hotel: Recommended: [Kimpton Clearwater Bay] The infinity pool leads directly to the sea, rooms come with Dyson + Aesop amenities, and the children's themed rooms have starry ceilings! After paddleboarding/lazy river rafting, go pick up starfish on the beach (lots in the Xiaodonghai reef area!). In the evening, hang out at the poolside bar to watch the pink-purple sunset clouds. Your friends will get amazing shots of the floating afternoon tea in the pool 📸 Day 3️⃣: Exclusive Island Activities 🌊 Clearwater Bay Fun List: · Pick fresh live grouper at the Hotel Indigo pier for cooking. · Take a helicopter ride overlooking the 12 km "Singing Sands Beach". · Take the kids to the 4,000 sqm indoor children's play area + pet feeding. PS: The duty-free shop is 10 mins from the hotel. Remember to use the CNY 50 coupon from your health code! Day 4️⃣: Haikou Industrial Style Walk 🏭 Coconut Palm Group Wonderful Tour: Visit the world's first automated coconut milk production line, watch the super stress-relieving manual coconut cracking! Check in at the "red, yellow, blue" colored workshop, buy the limited edition chrysanthemum tea (more retro packaging than store versions!). Take a photo with the Coconut Palm style billboard at the factory gate, caption it directly with "I've been drinking this since I was little" 😂 Day 5️⃣: Travel Through Old Nanyang Times 📮 Qilou Citywalk Route: Pray at Tianhou Palace → Make Li brocade at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum → Eat coconut curry crab at Quanfengtai → Drink partridge tea at Shangnantang! Highly recommend photographing the Qilou light and shadow at dusk, the bronze statues + neon signs create a great atmosphere. Don't forget to wait for Grandma's Paederia Foetida sweet soup stall (only opens in the afternoon!) ⚠️ Anti-Scam Tips: ✅ Book Xidao Island ferry tickets 3 days in advance, choose an electric scooter with a 60 km range. ✅ It's hard to get a taxi in Clearwater Bay, recommend renting a convertible (Sun Bay Road is gorgeous). ✅ Coconut Palm Group visits require an appointment, casual photography inside is not allowed. ✅ For Qilou food, look for "Wu Ribiao Garlic Ribs" and "Zhen Dafu Old Salt Wampee". 📸 Outfit of the Day (OOTD): · Xidao Island: Straw bag + floral slip dress (light colors!) · Clearwater Bay: Bright bikini + cover-up · Haikou: Retro shirt + denim shorts (Coconut Palm style forever!)
