The Shenquan hot spring resort on the Haitang Bay side; its reputation as "the Foremost Spring in China" comes from its high-quality silica-type, fluoride-bearing spring water, widely praised for its soothing effects on skin and joints. The outdoor pool complex is laid out in Han-and-Tang garden style, with flower pools, herbal-medicine pools, and family pools tiered at different levels; a night soak amid the lit-up gardens is especially atmospheric. It is only a 10-minute-plus drive from the Haitang Bay hotel cluster—the closest stop for a double "island beach + hot spring" experience in Sanya. In peak season, booking entry in advance is advised; after a night soak, heading straight back to your hotel to rest makes the smoothest route.
Getting there: By taxi from Haitang Bay
