When I wake up every morning, I feel like the whole world belongs to me. In short, Alila Zhuhai Dong'ao Island is a place I want to visit again after visiting it once.

Encounter the trio of design, nature and culture at the top of the South China Sea🎶 The hotel building is like a work of art growing out of a cliff, with logs and stones outlining flowing lines. The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surging waves and rugged reefs into a dynamic painting. In the morning, when you push open the terrace door leading to the sea, the Lingnan linen curtain filters the mottled sunlight, which contrasts with the blue sea. Even the guest rooms have become exhibition halls that collect the beauty of nature. In the afternoon, jump into the 15-meter-long cliff infinity pool🏊. The feeling of being suspended in the air makes your heart beat in sync with the waves🌊. As dusk falls, follow the sound of singing bowls to participate in a cliff sunset ceremony. The waiter whispers the Maritime Silk Road code in the cliff carvings. The bricks and stones of the customs ruins🪨seem to still retain the warmth of fishing fires a hundred years ago. The spa's "Moonstone Soothing Therapy" uses the sound of waves as background music, kneading fatigue into the deep blue of the South China Sea💙. Take a leisurely stroll in the public area of ​​the hotel in the evening. From afar, the rugged reefs seem to hide a sculpture exhibition of the Creator. The crescent ring reflects the sea in the gilded moment, as if opening a mysterious blind box in the sky. At night, we came to the hotel's Sea Salt All-Day Restaurant, where the chef presented fresh ingredients 🐟, which were grilled over charcoal to lock in the sweet taste of sea salt. The delicious taste went straight from the crest of the wave to the tip of your tongue. I really love this place, come on, my dears! Here, there is no standard answer to travel, only the moments of enlightenment while listening to the sound of water drops while making tea and talking to yourself by the starry sky swimming pool. When the design wonderland meets the millennial tide, we can finally touch the eternal glimmer in the dialogue between contemporary aesthetics and ancient stone steps✨. #AlilaZhuhaiDongaoIsland #Alila #IslandResort #CliffHotel #ZhuhaiHotel
