SodiumChloruresBrome
Dongfang Hot Springs are located in Dongfang, on Hainan Island, China. The sodium-chloride water reaches around 40°C. The facility offers indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna and massage.
Insider tip — Dongfang Hot Springs sits on Hainan's arid western coast, a drier and less-visited side of the island sheltered from the moist southeastern trade winds by the central mountain spine. The sodium-chloride thermal waters emerge in a landscape of scrub savanna and fishing communities, giving the setting a more austere character than the resort-heavy south coast. Li and Miao ethnic minority villages are accessible nearby, offering insight into Hainan's indigenous cultures. The western sunset over the Beibu Gulf seen from poolside is one of the island's underrated spectacles.
