[2025 Sanya Hotels] Travel Guide for Wuzhizhou Island Resort (Updated Jul)

Who would have thought that this island has so much. From a lagoon to a bird and horse sanctuary, this place is amazing. ⛵️We thought it might take a long time to get to the island but it only takes 20 minutes by boat from the town of HouHai. The lagoon area was amazing. We saw ducks, turkeys, peacocks, geese, and even ostriches. We would definitely recommend the lagoon as it is so quaint and pretty. The lagoon is very close to one of the resorts on the island, which means it is very well maintained. We would recommend going in the morning as there are not too many tourists there, by noon it might get a little crowded, and definitely check out the south side of the lagoon as this is where people take the best pictures. All in all it was a great experience if you are a nature and animal lover. Would recommend to a friend 😄 #christmasgiveaway #momentsmission #christmasgiveaway

#discoverchina Our one-night stay at Wuzhizhou Island Resort was pure paradise! The overwater villa was breathtaking, with a private deck offering stunning ocean views and direct access to the turquoise sea. The resort’s design blends luxury with nature, creating a serene, eco-chic vibe. Dinner at the seaside restaurant was delicious, featuring fresh seafood and tropical flavors. At sunrise, we had the beach almost to ourselves—unforgettable! Impeccable service and attention to detail made us feel pampered. Though brief, it was a dreamy escape—worth every moment for romance or relaxation. Can’t wait to return! 🌅✨🏝️ . #sanya #china #travel #beachlife

As a tourist who just came back from Wuzhizhou Island, I would like to share a nanny-level guide based on real experience, teaching you how to explore the island in one day and avoid the minefields! 1. Key preparations before departure 1. Transportation It is recommended to choose the "Scenic Area Through Bus": starting from Sanya City (Dadonghai/Yalong Bay), 25 yuan/person round trip, which is more cost-effective than taking a taxi. Parking is difficult at the pier! If you drive, it is recommended to arrive before 8:30, otherwise you will have to wait in line for at least 1 hour. 2. Tickets · Buy the "boat ticket + sightseeing bus" package (NT$245) online one day in advance, which is NT$50 cheaper than on-site! · Half-price tickets are available for students and senior citizens, and free tickets are available for children under 1.2 meters. 3. Items you should bring · Sunscreen (SPF50+), sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, waterproof phone bag, Crocs (don’t wear flip-flops, as the boat will be slippery). · A light backpack! The rental fee for the project locker is 30 yuan/hour. 2. Tour route planning (efficient and non-tiring version) Morning: Diving first! It is recommended to be the first group to arrive at the island at 8:30 and go straight to the "Diving Service Center" (on the left side of the pier). Diving options: Newbies can choose "Coral Reef Diving" (680 yuan): 3-4 meters underwater, lots of fish, and 1-on-1 guidance from the coach. · Experienced diver chooses "Advanced Diving" (NT$1,280): Explore the sunken ship with super high visibility! · Avoid pitfalls: Underwater photography is 398 yuan/set, look at the sample photos before deciding; refuse hidden consumption (mask, fish food). Noon: Island lunch · We recommend the "Summer Restaurant" buffet (98 yuan/person), which is more cost-effective than ordering snacks; you need to eat your own instant noodles in the designated area. Afternoon: Island sightseeing + photo taking Must-take "Luxury Island Bus" (138 yuan/person): You can hop on and off at 6 stops, and get a free beach chair! · Featured Sites: · Star of the Sea #2月好地方2025

Enjoyed the trip to this heart shaped island in Sanya , China. The island is designed and laidout in nice manner. has many activities and attractions for tourists. surprisingly we were the only international tourist, May be due to chinese new year holidays the place was packed to the brim. we had to wait in most locations for a long time in queues. Language was a big issue no body could speak English.

|.The glass sea of Wuzhizhou Island is one of its major attractions, with high ornamental value and the following features: 1. Extremely clear water: Wuzhizhou Island is surrounded by the sea, and the surrounding waters are clear, with a visibility of 6–27 meters, making the sea look as transparent as glass. Looking down from the sea, you can clearly see the corals, reefs, seaweed, and various tropical fish and other marine life on the seabed, as if you are in a huge underwater aquarium. Even in deeper waters, you can see the underwater scenery more clearly. 2. Rich colors of the sea: On Wuzhizhou Island, the sea is not just blue. As the depth of the sea changes, the angle of sunlight, and the topography of the seabed, the sea will show a variety of colors. For example, in shallow areas, the sea is light blue or light green, clear and bright, giving a fresh feeling; in deep areas, the sea gradually deepens, showing a deep blue or dark blue, deep and mysterious. 3. Calm sea like a mirror: The sea around Wuzhizhou Island has relatively small waves and is relatively calm, with no surging waves or rapid currents. When the sea is calm, the sea is like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky, white clouds, and islands, forming a beautiful picture of the sea and sky. This calm sea also provides good conditions for water activities such as swimming, diving, and boating. 4. Complementary to the surrounding landscape: Wuzhizhou Island has a rich variety of landforms, such as cliffs, steep cliffs, beaches, sand spits, and sea cliffs. These unique landforms and the glass sea complement each other, forming beautiful seascapes. For example, near the cliffs, the clear sea water hits the rocks, creating white waves that contrast sharply with the blue sea; in the beach area, the white sand and transparent sea water are connected, giving a pure beauty.

🛏️ Craving a slice of paradise? Wuzhizhou Island Resort in Sanya is where your search ends! The rooms are spacious, and while they promise an ocean view, you'll be charmed by the lush trees that give you privacy instead. It's like waking up in a tropical hideaway! 🌿 Nature's calling! Just a 20-minute boat ride from HouHai, and you're surrounded by a lagoon, exotic birds, and even ostriches! The resort is a stone's throw from this natural sanctuary, making it the perfect spot for early birds to capture those insta-worthy lagoon shots without the crowds. 🍴 The dining experience may not be a western food haven, but the local flavors will tantalize your taste buds. Breakfast offers enough variety to please international palates, and the overall vibe of the place is peaceful perfection for sea swimmers and nature enthusiasts. 🏋️‍♂️ While the hotel could use a touch more TLC, especially the gym, it's a fantastic spot for a one-night stay. Dive into the sea, explore the limited swimming areas, and soak up the serenity before 6 PM. Remember, it's an island adventure, so English-speaking staff might be as rare as a quiet moment in the city! 📍Wuzhizhou Island Resort, Linwang Town, Haitang District, Sanya, Hainan, 572000, China #Sanya #SanyaHotel #SanyaTravel

Finally, I understood the West Island and Wuzhizhou Island. The two islands have different styles, and if you have enough time, I suggest you experience both. 1⃣️Island style: -West Island is still inhabited by islanders, has more life atmosphere, more grounded consumption, if you want to experience the quiet island life, I suggest you go. -Wuzhizhou Island is more commercialized with better amusement facilities, higher consumption, if you want to play exciting water projects, I suggest you go, I personally think it is not necessary, the coach is very good, it is the underwater scenery, look at the picture is enough, this time is deep dive 12 meters, dive to now I have not get the joy of diving, should be the problem of the location. 2⃣️Photography style: -West Island is very grounded and friendly, Niuwangling Island, coral wall, sea book room, fewer people can shoot the feeling of Jeju Island, my location is not a popular check-in place, is a small car in Niuwangling, few people, shot out of the Korean. -Wuzhizhou Island is self-help, western food, shooting some sea projects, coral hotel, more petty bourgeoisie. 3⃣️Boat ticket and time: -West Island: ID card to buy tickets to the island, 90 yuan round trip, pay attention to the island time 8:00-16:30, we spent about two hours on the island, there is no fast track, go early to queue, the boat half an hour seasick attention to motion sickness medicine. -Wuzhizhou Island: ID card to buy on the island, 140 round trip, pay attention to the island time 8:00-17:00, we spent about an hour on the island, the boat 15-18 minutes is quite fast, because the coral hotel will have a fast track. 4⃣️Hotel: -West Island: mainly guesthouses, prices in the range of 300-1500, New Year's Day Spring Festival are like this, choose in advance. This time I chose the guesthouse I wanted to experience so I didn't stay on West Island, I suggest you stay on the island and don't bother, the accommodation on the island is almost the same, I suggest you choose 180 degrees, 270 degrees of this kind of sea view room, this time we stayed in Tianya Town and checked in a guesthouse I like, it is really falling asleep to the sound of the sea and being woken up by the sun~ -Wuzhizhou Island: there is only one hotel on the island, Coral Hotel, standard and expensive, 1500-8000/10000 price range, the advantage is that the hotel has a fast track to the island, play some extreme big players also is; -After 6 o'clock on the island, only hotel guests are allowed to stay, very quiet, get up early in the morning to catch the sea also no one to compete with you, but there is no snacks and rich nightlife, only hotel meals, consumption is more expensive. -If you want to feel the quiet sea, play projects suggest to stay on the island, if not, next door Houhai Village to understand, rich nightlife IPK, snack street, guesthouse, play well eat well and then on the island is also OK, grasp the time is OK~ -The annual must-have project is New Year's Eve fireworks are not bad, if I have time I would rather lie quietly on the beach to read a good book to relax. 🔚That's it, can't write a little, today's things today end~
