The city of Sanya - often seen as China's answer to Hawaii - is known for its upscale clientele and luxurious resorts, but the Sanya EDITION is unlike any other hotel in the region.

It's the latest and arguably the most impressive addition to the Marriot-owned Edition hotel chain, which now has branches in London, New York, and Miami and is headed by American hotelier Ian Schrager.

Every 32 hours, the 512-room resort pumps 10 million gallons of water from the surrounding South China Sea into its own private ocean so guests can kayak, paddle board, and even sail without ever having to leave the grounds.

There's also a fairground, three art galleries, and a miniature village.
