Hotel Indigo Hainan Clear Water Bay draws inspiration from the idea of an “Ocean’s Treasure Boutique,” reimagining the ancient marine lifestyle of the Dan people through the lens of contemporary minimalism. Designed by the acclaimed Mr. Yang Bangsheng and his internationally awarded firm YANG Design Group, the hotel embodies a poetic dialogue between island charm and neighborhood storytelling.
Inside the hotel, pearl-inspired lighting casts a gentle glow, while blue-white tones and coral-hued furnishings echo the natural palette of Hainan’s reefs. Guestrooms fuse modern art trends with traditional Li brocade weaving and rattan craftsmanship, vividly interpreting the Dan people's dual lifestyle philosophy of “farming the sea and living between land and water.”
At the hotel’s Intrigue Restaurant, local Hainanese flavors meet modern culinary innovation to deliver creative dining experiences. A range of resort facilities — from a Lazy River and Infinity Pool to a Spa, Children's Club, and The Fit — provide well-rounded relaxation. Through curated neighborhood experiences led by local "neighborhood hosts," guests are invited to explore Lingshui Old Street, Coconut Island, and traditional intangible cultural heritage, gaining deeper insight into Hainan’s history, culture, and human stories — all in true Indigo spirit.
"I had a lovely stay at this brand new hotel in mid June. The service is top notch. Direct flight from Australia arrived early in the morning, duty manager Ms Zhang kindly checked me in earlier, upgraded room to a fantastic seafront, and accomodated my request to have breakfast on the arrival day. Reception Ivan is also helpful at booking activities, checking in and out. The breakfast is at adjoining Kimpton restaurant, thoughtfully open between 7am to 12pm. Breakfast has rich variety with fresh green juice, local special food and western gourmet. The welcome drink at hotel bar is relaxing. I like the crispy Chardonnay they sourced from Argentina.The hotel is modern, new tech and stylish. The room is very clean, new and spacious with dyson hairdryer. They have a few outdoor pools...the pool bar is not operating which is a pity...the beach is clean and wide..wave is too strong to swim...it would have been better if the hotel sets up some beach chairs with drink service to relax and chill...there is a professional shooting service available on site and complimentary Sanya Duty Free transfer is available to pre booked a day in advance at 9:15am or 3:15pm round. Overall, the stay is pleasant, less crowded, more luxury than most of the established five star hotels in major Sanya."
