Minor Hotels, a global hospitality group that owns and operates over 560 hotels, resorts and residences in 58 countries, announces the signing of an agreement between its Chinese joint venture, Funyard Minor, and Chongqing Yuanchu Luquan Cultural Tourism Group to develop Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort. Slated to debut in October 2027, the 90-key Anantara Hotels & Resorts property will be situated along Clear Water Bay’s 12-kilometre stretch of fine, white sandy beach, known as one of the world’s three ‘Singing Beaches.’

Located in Lingshui Li Autonomous County on the southeastern coast of Hainan and 35 kilometres drive from Sanya’s city centre, Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort will leverage the region’s beautiful natural surroundings and year-round tropical climate to provide guests with access to sunny beaches, azure seas and stunning outdoor scenery. Lingshui boasts a wealth of tourism resources, including the pristine waters surrounding Fenjiezhou Island, the fine white sands of Qingshui Bay, the vibrant and engaging Nanwan Monkey Island, and the diverse attractions of R&F Ocean World. The resort’s prime location will also allow guests to discover the region’s local culture through handicrafts, fabric and bamboo weaving, music, and lively festival celebrations unique to the island.

Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort will feature 90 rooms and suites ranging from 60 to 240 square metres tailored to the needs of its guests. Holidaymakers can explore a range of culinary offerings at the resort’s specialty restaurants and an all-day dining venue. The resort’s leisure facilities will include an Anantara Spa, wellness centre, outdoor swimming pool and entertainment centre, complemented by signature experiences that integrate Hainan’s unique charm and local character. The property will feature a versatile 400-square-metre banquet hall and a beautifully landscaped 350-square-metre outdoor lawn, ideal for a wide range of events and gatherings.

“We are honoured to collaborate with Chongqing Yuanchu Luquan Cultural Tourism Group to jointly create the Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort as a renowned resort destination in China,” said Eddy Tiftik, Vice President of Development for Greater China at Minor Hotels and board member of Funyard Minor. “This project represents a significant expansion for our Anantara brand and our commitment to promoting sustainable tourism development in Hainan and supporting Lingshui’s ‘2+7+3+N’ coordinated development plan. We look forward to deepening the influence of the Anantara brand in China through this new project, creating a luxury leisure destination with deep reverence for its natural surroundings and cultural heritage.”

“We are excited to work with international hotel group Minor Hotels to build the Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort. The Clear Water Bay offers travellers luxurious facilities that seamlessly blend nature and culture, including an international standard golf course, luxury yacht marinas, fishing villages and tropical botanical gardens. We look forward to welcoming guests to explore the region with Anantara in the coming years,” said Mr. Liu Yuanchu, Chairman of Chongqing Yuanchu Luquan Cultural Tourism Development Group.

Minor Hotels is part of Minor International (MINT), one of the largest hospitality and leisure companies in the Asia-Pacific region and was founded by William E. Heinecke in 1967. MINT entered the hotel business in 1978 with its first property in Pattaya, Thailand. In 2001, Minor Hotels launched its flagship Anantara Hotels & Resorts brand, which has grown and evolved into a globally luxury brand rooted in Thai-inspired heartfelt hospitality with over 50 properties worldwide.

Today, Minor Hotels operates four properties in China, two Anantara resorts in Guiyang and Xishuangbanna, as well as two properties in Chengdu under its Oaks and Tivoli brands. The signing of Anantara Clear Water Bay Sanya Resort follows the group’s earlier announcements of Anantara Xiling Snow Mountain Chengdu Resort and Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort, and part of Minor Hotels’ China expansion to grow to 15 properties within the next three years.
