Where to Stay in Hainan – Haikou & North Coast

Haikou provides a full range of accommodation options befitting Hainan’s capital city, from budget hostels near the old town to luxury international hotels along the waterfront. The Holiday Beach area concentrates mid-range and upscale hotels with beach access and proximity to dive operators. The city center near Qilou Old Street offers character-filled boutique hotels in restored colonial buildings. For mangrove diving at Dongzhai, several eco-lodges and guesthouses provide rustic but comfortable accommodation in natural settings. Business hotels in the new district offer excellent value with modern amenities and convenient transport connections.
