The resort unfolds like a seaside guesthouse, connecting breezy breezeways and garden courtyards just steps from the beach.
What it’s good at
Notable
Sloping roofs and red brick walls reinterpret Southern Fujian vernacular coastal architecture.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 196 rooms, 18 of them suites, come with private balconies and views of the sea, city, or nearby mountains, done up in coastal tones with rattan and marble accents.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The coastal promenade and beach sit just across the road. Around the corner, Zengcuo'an village fills with evening food stalls.
The rooms
Bedrooms layer light pine, granite, and coastal hues, opening onto private terraces angled toward the water or green hills.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop infinity pool looks out across coastal buildings toward the sea and the evening sun.
At the table
Glass pavilions hold an open bakery and seafood kitchens, and the rooftop bar shucks oysters beside the pool.
How it began
The Oval Partnership modeled the layout on a Minnan fishing village, shaping red-brick pavilions and stone pedestals along pedestrian lanes.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
