Hotel Indigo Hainan Clear Water Bay draws inspiration from the idea of an “Ocean’s Treasure Boutique,” reimagining the ancient marine lifestyle of the Dan people through the lens of contemporary minimalism. Designed by the acclaimed Mr. Yang Bangsheng and his internationally awarded firm YANG Design Group, the hotel embodies a poetic dialogue between island charm and neighborhood storytelling.
Inside the hotel, pearl-inspired lighting casts a gentle glow, while blue-white tones and coral-hued furnishings echo the natural palette of Hainan’s reefs. Guestrooms fuse modern art trends with traditional Li brocade weaving and rattan craftsmanship, vividly interpreting the Dan people's dual lifestyle philosophy of “farming the sea and living between land and water.”
At the hotel’s Intrigue Restaurant, local Hainanese flavors meet modern culinary innovation to deliver creative dining experiences. A range of resort facilities — from a Lazy River and Infinity Pool to a Spa, Children's Club, and The Fit — provide well-rounded relaxation. Through curated neighborhood experiences led by local "neighborhood hosts," guests are invited to explore Lingshui Old Street, Coconut Island, and traditional intangible cultural heritage, gaining deeper insight into Hainan’s history, culture, and human stories — all in true Indigo spirit.
"Our first stop for the holiday was the Indigo Sanya Clearwater Bay, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Before we even checked in, our butler, Summer, sent us an introduction to the hotel and recommendations for local food, which really built up our excitement. I have to give a huge shout-out to my butler! First, she upgraded our room, then, knowing I was on my period, she brought me brown sugar ginger tea. On our last night, she surprised me with cake and red wine. Oh my goodness, how can someone be so wonderful? My chat history with her is just full of 'thank yous' 🥹. The rafting was super fun, the pool was great for a dip, the gym was perfect for a run, and the public areas were beautiful for photos, no matter where you shot. Lying in bed and looking out at the sea was incredibly relaxing! Oh, and I also fell in love with the hotel's umbrellas – they're super cute. I asked for the purchase details and plan to have one shipped home."
