Resort operator Kempinski will open its latest property in Haitang, China this weekend (8 January).

Kempinski Hotel Haitang Bay Sanya will offer accommodation in 576 guest rooms and 52 luxuriously appointed villas. Facilities include a resort spa, golf course and five restaurants. The resort is made up of four interlinking parts - the hotel complex, villas, meeting rooms, conference centre and golf & spa.

The Spa Centre is located by the river and has been built using elements from an old Shanghai style house which was previously owned by early 20th century crime lord Du Yuesheng - dubbed "China's Al Capone".

The Spa Centre features 12 treatment rooms, a sauna and wellness area with a wide range of sensual spa treatments designed to increase blood circulation and revitalize the body and mind.
