With plans on expansion outside of their region, Thanyapura Resorts have chosen the Red Dragon as their next premier location. On Wednesday, 28 August 2019, the signing of the new resort has been made by Thanyapura World – the Singapore-based company for the Thanyapura brand and announced that their chosen location was none other than China’s most popular resort destination – Sanya, Hainan Province. Thanyapura Sanya will be Thanyapura’s first branded resort in China.

As the first branded resort in the region, the Thanyapura brand is sure to make their grand entrance in Sanya, Hainan Province. Located between Yalong and Haitang Bay, the resort holds approximately 58 hectares of land and will feature 300 hotel rooms and 250 villas; exceptional world-class sports facilities showcasing swimming, running, tennis and multi-sport fitness; a lifestyle medical clinic, catered for chronic disease reversal; and a wellness centre.

As one of the world’s leading sports and wellness resorts, Thanyapura Phuket has attracted well-known athletes from across the globe like Maria Sharapova, two-time Ironman world champion, Patrick Langer and several national swim teams around the world as well. Moreover, Thanyapura Phuket is the only officially registered FINA training centre in all of Asia.
Thanyapura Sanya in China will mirror the same international standards that their Phuket resort has established through the years, taking the brand’s unique wellness approach beyond the Southeast Asian region.
“We are on the cusp of something big”
Thanyapura’s expansion into the Chinese region means a wide array of possibilities and opportunities. By incorporating green technologies, personal optimisation and sustainable practices, this positions the Thanyapura brand highly on a regional scale, as the leading active living and healthy lifestyle resort. President and CEO of Thanyapura World, Philipp Graf von Hardenberg says, “We offer something quite unique in the international hospitality market that others cannot easily replicate. China is a massive market with unlimited potential and we are entering at the right time in the right location with the right partners”.
Hardenberg also adds on and mentions that the Sanya Thanyapura Resort aims to become a “magnet destination for sports and health tourism” by collaborating and partnering with the local Chinese government. Scheduled to open in 2022, Thanyapura Sanya will finally be the leading hub for healthy holiday destinations, while offering the perfect escape from the city all at once.
