The Short Version

Fly to Hainan.
We’ll do the rest.

One flight to Haikou (HAK) or Sanya (SYX). Our English-speaking driver meets you at arrivals and takes you down the coast to Riyue Bay in a private van. No transfers, no taxis, no apps. Every route compared, airport by airport, is in our flights and transfers guide.

“One international flight, one driver, one drive. That’s the whole journey — and most of it has an ocean view.”

Step 1 · Fly Into Hainan

The Coastal Drive

One of the better
airport transfers
you’ll do.

Hainan’s east coast highway runs straight along the South China Sea. It’s the same road you’d drive for the view — we’re just driving it because the airport happens to be at one end.

Driver English-speaking, vetted, in uniform

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Which airport should I fly into — Haikou or Sanya?

Whichever has the better flight for you. Sanya is the shorter drive; Haikou has more international routes, including the direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne. Send us your departure city and we’ll tell you the best option.

Is the airport transfer included?

Yes. Every package includes round-trip private transfers between either airport and the resort. There’s nothing extra to book or pay for the drive.

What if my flight is delayed or arrives late at night?

We track your flight live. If you’re delayed, the driver shifts with the new arrival time — no need to call us. Late-night arrivals are fine; the resort accepts check-ins 24/7.

What if I bring my own surfboard?

No problem. Our business vans are sized for boards and bags. If you’re traveling with multiple boards or a big group, just let us know in advance and we’ll size the vehicle accordingly.

Do I need to speak Chinese?

No. Your driver, trip coordinator, and resort staff all speak English. WhatsApp is the main channel for communication before, during, and after your stay.

Can I add a stopover in Sanya or Haikou?

Absolutely. A lot of guests spend a night in Sanya at the start or end of the trip — beach hotels, seafood, the city. We can arrange the extra night and the transfer split.

No direct flight from my city?

One stop is all it takes. Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, and Shanghai all have multiple flights to Haikou or Sanya every day — we’ll help you pick the connection.
