The Ritz-Carlton, Haikou
Built into Haikou’s volcanic Mission Hills landscape, this golf-focused Ritz-Carlton overlooks the legendary Blackstone Course with 190 rooms, 15 suites, 16 villas and tropical resort facilities.
The Ritz-Carlton, Haikou sits in Mission Hills on a volcanic landscape formed by ancient lava flows. Jungle vegetation, lakes and dark rocky outcrops make the setting unusually dramatic for a golf resort and distinguish it from Hainan’s better-known beach properties.
The hotel has 190 guestrooms, 15 suites and 16 villas, with every accommodation oriented toward panoramic golf-course views. Villas add larger residential layouts and greater privacy for families and groups.
Golf is the central experience. The hotel sits beside the 350-acre Blackstone Course and within the wider Mission Hills complex, which contains ten 18-hole championship courses along with extensive leisure and entertainment facilities.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa, outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness center provide non-golf alternatives. Dining includes Terra, Cantonese-focused Tin Lung Heen, rooftop Flair and The Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge, with sunset over the fairways forming a recurring theme.
The Ritz-Carlton, Haikou is best for travelers whose ideal Hainan trip revolves around golf rather than the beach. Its volcanic landscape and enormous Mission Hills setting give the resort a highly specific identity within the island’s luxury-hotel market.
