Whoever you're going away with and whether your budget is big or small, your dream Sanya holiday is just a few clicks away with Expedia.

Sanya Beach Holiday

It's time to take a break and sit and listen to the sounds of the ocean on a Sanya holiday. Pretty coastal vistas are plentiful on a trip to Sanya — Wuzihzhou Island Beach (19 miles away) is a well-known example. We recommend booking a hotel nearby. If you want other options, many visitors also book Sanya holiday deals in the vicinity of Dadonghai Beach and Tianya Haijiao.
