Dali's 13 Exclusive Sea View Rooms

Encountering such a hotel by Erhai Lake in Dali feels like blending the romance and texture of a vacation into everyday life. From afar, it stands pure white by the lakeshore, its minimalist lines sketching a crisp silhouette. Without excessive decoration, it resembles a naturally grown art gallery. As the sea breeze brushes past, light and shadow dance on the walls. Simply raising a camera captures a frame with built-in filters, as if every corner whispers, "No need for pretense—beauty should be this effortless." The hotel boasts only 13 sea view rooms, each seemingly custom-made as a viewing platform for Erhai Lake. Wake up in the morning, draw the curtains, and you're greeted by the sunrise leaping over the lake. In the evening, lean by the window and quietly watch the sunset paint the water a gentle orange. No need to rush or jostle—the rise and fall of Erhai's dawn and dusk become your private scenery. On days you don’t feel like going out, time here flows leisurely. The aroma of fresh ingredients wafts from the private dining area, while freshly ground coffee beans await in the café. The plush sofas in the lounge invite you to sink in and read a book all afternoon. From the warm porridge and side dishes at breakfast to the exquisite afternoon tea and a comforting bowl of sweet soup before bed, thoughtful details are tucked into every moment. Complimentary refills of coffee and drinks are always available, making you feel as at ease as visiting a friend’s home. For a taste of local flavors, nearby private kitchens are just a short ride away, with the hotel offering a complimentary shuttle service. No need to worry about directions—authentic flavors are effortlessly within reach. After a few days here, you’ll realize that true "worth" isn’t about extravagant displays but about making scenery, comfort, and warmth part of your everyday life.
