A travel influencer has shared his experience of visiting a 'secret pink beach' that almost no one knows about, and entry is free. The content creator, known as Denis (@denis_ttravel), often shares reels of his travel adventures with his 2,000 followers on Instagram. In one of his latest posts, he spoke all about visiting the pink 'beach' in China, which he described as a hidden gem.
What Makes This Beach Special?
The pink 'beach' is located at the Hyatt Regency Sanya Tianli Bay in China. It is not a typical beach but rather an artificial photo zone away from the sea, designed for striking shots and atmospheric pictures. Clips in the video showed Denis relaxing on a pink sun lounger on the pink sand before heading to a Pink Beach Bar and swinging on a swing that is also pink.
Writing in the caption, Denis said: 'The pink beach is located in the city of Sanya on the territory of Hyatt Regency Sanya Tianli Bay. This isn't exactly a typical beach, but more like an artificial photo zone away from the sea, created for striking shots and atmospheric pictures. Still, it looks incredibly beautiful, and you've probably never seen anything like it before.' He added: 'Entry is free even if you're not staying at the hotel. No requests or explanations needed, just come in and enjoy.'
Public Reaction
People were loving the post, with it racking up more than 21,000 likes. One person wrote: 'Hyatt Regency Hotel Sanya is amazing.' While another added: 'So beautiful.' A third chimed in: 'Urge to take my daughter there.'
Details About the Pink Beach
The 'beach' at Hyatt Regency Sanya Tianli Bay is a man-made, 'Barbie-style' installation designed specifically for photography. Everything in this area is themed pink, including the sand, sun loungers, umbrellas, and even a pink snack bar. It creates a 'doll-like' or 'Barbie Land' atmosphere that is very popular for social media photos. The sand is not naturally pink; its rosy hue comes from light-reflecting particles mixed with crushed coral. While it is a great spot for posing and swings, it is primarily a photo zone rather than a traditional swimming beach. The hotel also has a standard private natural beach nearby for more typical coastal activities.
Tips for Visiting
- Aviation views: Because the hotel is located just 15 minutes from Sanya Phoenix International Airport, you can often capture photos of planes flying low directly overhead.
- Best timing: The pink colour is most vibrant under soft, natural light. Visiting in the late afternoon (around 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM) is highly recommended for the best shots.
- Location: It is situated in the Tianya District, conveniently close to other major sites like the Tianya Haijiao ('End of the Earth') park.
- Cost: Entry to the hotel grounds to visit the pink beach is free for everyone.
- Getting there: You can take Bus 125 or Bus 25 from the city centre, or a taxi for approximately 50–70 RMB (£6-8).
