Michelin Selected
Michelin
Luhuitou Mountain … forms the backdrop of this four-building serviced residence on Haiyun Road in Dadonghai.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Dadonghai Beach sits five hundred metres downhill, where seafood stalls line a crescent bay of calm water.
The rooms
Apartments come with full kitchens and floor-to-ceiling glass, and most open onto balconies looking out toward the water.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
An outdoor lap pool sits among palm trees, and the fitness centre looks straight out onto tropical gardens.
At the table
Freshen serves breakfast buffets and Hainan specialties, and the Residents' Lounge pours drinks across a sculpted bronze bar.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
