On Haidian Island, InterContinental Haikou Seaview by IHG looks across the water from a landscaped resort setting close to the city’s commercial districts. Its 377 rooms and suites take cues from navigation and the coast, pairing contemporary finishes with balconies or windows that emphasise sea views. CHAR occupies an 11th-floor terrace, joined by several Chinese and international dining venues across the property. Seaside gardens, two outdoor pools, a heated pool, spa and fitness facilities create a substantial leisure programme around the waterfront location.
