Sanya Backpackers

Sanya


Although getting a little tired, this hostel is a more intimate and friendly place than others in town. Set in a whitewashed building in a residential compound, it’s also an oasis. Simple backpacker dishes are available, and there’s a bar (which can get noisy) for hanging out in the evenings. Surf lessons and board rentals (¥150 per day) are available during the summer.
