The house
IHGMaritime coastal resort
Life here revolves around the water, translating Hainan's maritime culture into open-air lounging right on Clear Water Bay.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On Hainan's Clear Water Bay coastline, facing the South China Sea along a quiet resort strip.
The rooms
Woven rattan accents line the rooms, and select ground-floor options step straight into the pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The swimming pool curves past rows of sun loungers to a swim-up bar sheltered by a thatched dome.
At the table
Intrigue Restaurant serves Lingshui sour noodles and fresh seafood under curved timber arches. Craft beer pours at the pink marble bar.
How it began
The property revived an unfinished structure that sat dormant on the bay for nearly a decade before opening in 2025.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.
The medals
Gold
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
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.
