The house
IHGDragon-shaped coastal resort
The hotel curves along Dameisha beach like an undulating dragon, opening Shenzhen's bustling tech hub directly to the South China Sea.
What it’s good at
Notable
A four-thousand-square-metre lagoon pool and water slides open directly onto Dameisha beach.
Listed
Curving coastal architecture along Mirs Bay houses sea-facing rooms with private balconies.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The most impressive units look straight out to sea, though those with a garden view are not too shabby either; many come with balconies.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dameisha's two-kilometer golden sand beach sits directly outside, backed by the green coastal mountains of Yantian.
The rooms
Most rooms look straight out across Mirs Bay, with private balconies angled toward the water.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Timber decking and palm trees line the oceanfront infinity pool, and loungers border the lagoons beneath the cantilevered wing.
The gym and spa
Dark hardwood floors run through the 24-hour gym, and private spa suites host hot stone massage rituals.
At the table
The Azure serves French dishes in a shoreline glass pavilion, and tiered blue booths line the beachfront dining hall.
How it began
Built as Shenzhen's first beachfront luxury resort, the property converted two former private club pavilions into a dedicated guest wing in 2020.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

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.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
