About your stay

Usually the name Shangri-La is attributed to the ultimate in 5* luxury with a price tag to match, however, journey to the island of Hainan and you'll be surprised how far your money will stretch. Since direct flights have been released, it's never been easier to grab a luxurious beach side stay.

With it's own stretch of private beach, sprawling pool area (complete with water slides) and so much more, you'll never be bored at the hotel. There are numerous dining options as well as a few bars dotted around as well.

Fancy wandering off site? The property is super close to a large shopping complex.

You can upgrade to B&B from less than £11* per room per night
