Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The shell-shaped Zhuhai Grand Theatre sits across the bay, with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge spanning the horizon.
The rooms
All rooms look across the South China Sea, while two-level duplexes add private plunge pools and secluded gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Jet fountains and submerged lights illuminate the heated canal at dusk as it winds past palms and guest balconies.
At the table
Shadow Bar pours cocktails under an open-air timber canopy, and Rice Bowl serves regional Thai curries.
How it began
Opened in 2018 as Banyan Group's first coastal resort in Guangdong, the property interprets traditional Cantonese architecture along Phoenix Bay.
