LingShui Resort

Location: Hainan, China

Client: Wide Horizon Development Corp., Chengdu

LingShui is located at the southeasterly end of Hainan Island, northeast of SanYa, which is Hainan’s primary tourism destination in China’s tropical climatic region and southernmost province on the South China Sea. China’s National policy in the 12th Five Year Plan identified Hainan Island as an International Tourism destination, bringing benefits to the region and underscoring the importance of Hainan’s climate, geography, and location as a potential destination for visitors from around the world. The LingShui Pioneering Experimental Resort District Master Plan allows Hainan to provide incentives for new resort development, and it also provides the opportunity to try new approaches.

The Master Plan provides a comprehensive land use framework, and it is accompanied by a business plan strategy to ensure a successful realization of the vision for LingShui. The extensive program for the project included multiple five-start resort hotels, golf courses and associated communities, conferencing, educational and cultural facilities, residential communities with resort amenities, theme parks, and an extensive open space network that includes protected environmental zones.
