Huizhou, China, 19 December 2019 – Thailand-based, global hospitality company Dusit International, represented in China by Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, has opened Dusit Thani Sandalwoods Resort Shuangyue Bay Huizhou, Guangdong, a deluxe resort overlooking the emerald waters of the South China Sea in Pinghai Ancient City.

Comprising 350 well-appointed rooms and suites set within a 30-storey tower, the beachfront resort is set to become a major lifestyle hub. It features seven different restaurants, a 1,150 sq m ballroom, eight multi-function meeting rooms, a fully equipped gym, a Kids’ Club, an archery range, a cinema, and other recreational facilities.

Among the dining highlights are Asian Kitchen, serving a choice of Cantonese and Thai cuisines, plus noodles and local seafood prepared fresh-to-order; Fisherman’s Cave, an all-day-dining restaurant serving international favourites; and Luna Café, which showcases regionally sourced ingredients, fresh seafood, and the finest cuts of meat served in a vibrant top-floor setting with sweeping views of Shuangyue Bay.

This family-friendly resort also features an extensive outdoor water facility with four different swimming pools, including a grand swimming pool, a boat-shaped pool, a children’s pool, and an infinity pool overlooking the sea. The Skyline Swimming Pool on the 30^th floor, meanwhile, provides a tranquil retreat for guests to swim and soak up views of the impressive mountainous landscape.

Well-known for its pure white sands and crystal clear water, Shuangyue Bay is a popular retreat for travellers seeking a relaxing break from inner-city life.
