Atlantis Sanya

Atlantis Sanya, a 1314 guestroom resort hotel and waterpark located on Hainan Island’s Haitang Bay, is designed to reinterpret the myth of Atlantis on Hainan Island. HOK’s modern design for the 48-story building features 1,314 guestrooms overlooking the South China Sea. With 21 restaurants and ample entertainment, the resort also includes one of the world’s largest open air aquariums, educational exhibits, and a family-friendly waterpark with both fresh and salt water recreational pools. A 78-foot-high lantern caps the tower, pulling the rhythm of the tower’s continuous linear balconies up to its peak. The curtain wall and balcony rails incorporate a waved pattern that appears to send ripples up the building, reinforcing the fluid nature of the design. The design team incorporated the signature Atlantis Bridge Suite into the penthouse level of the tower, reinterpreting the Atlantis brand’s classic tradition in a modern way.
