Dusit International is developing a second project in China, Dusit Devarana Hainan. Scheduled to launch in 2013, the 300-room resort is uniquely located within the rare natural 93oC hot springs and will showcase various spring-water features, from outdoor bathing pools to en suite bathrooms supplied with fresh hot and cold spring-water.

The forthcoming low-rise resort is located on Baoting's "Seven Fairy Mountain" approximately 80km from Sanya, the southernmost city in the People's Republic of China (PRC).

"We are building a unique wellness retreat and new dream destination for MICE events and conferences," said Mr. Lin Xiang, Group Chairman of Hainan Yuan Qi Investment Company Limited. "I anticipate our highly experienced Dusit International management team maximising the potential inherent in the new project's location and design."

Dusit Devarana Hainan is designed as a low-rise, well-spread complex of villas and deluxe rooms. The resort will feature more than a dozen crafted spring-water bathing pools of varying sizes and temperatures. Additionally, both hot and cold spring water will be supplied to guest bathrooms across the resort. The resort will offer a choice of two restaurants including Western and Chinese cuisines while a natural mountain river cuts through the complex, adding aesthetic appeal. Outdoor activities available in the surrounding region, such as mountain trekking and cycling, make it a desirable recreation destination.

"Our unique hot springs resort in Hainan reaffirms Dusit International's strong commitment to expansion into China." said Mr. Chanin Donavanik, CEO of Dusit International. The company previously announced its inaugural resort in China, Dusit Thani Hainan, in 2011 and has aggressive expansion plans underway in China and throughout the region.

The newly announced resort will fit within the Dusit Devarana brand focusing on its potential as a spa and conference destination. The three other properties under the Dusit Devarana brand concept are in India; Dusit Devarana New Delhi (2012), Dusit Deverana Jaipur and Dusit Devarana Rishikesh, both due to open in 2014.
