Hainan 7-day itinerary
Seven days is enough for Haikou, the east coast and Sanya if you move only twice. A slower week at one resort is the other honest way to use the same length.
Days 1–2: Haikou
Arrive at Meilan, walk Qilou Old Street, and keep the second day for a mangrove or volcano stop if you still have energy.
The high-speed rail south takes about two hours when you are ready to leave.
Days 3–4: Qionghai and Wanning
Stop at Boao for the river mouth, then sleep in Wanning. Use one morning at Riyue Bay if you want the surf beach.
Xinglong’s gardens are the easy inland hour from the same base.
Days 5–7: Sanya
Move to one bay and stay. Yalong for a quieter resort, Dadonghai if you want to walk to dinner, Sanya Bay if you landed at the airport and want the shortest transfer.
Leave a half-day for Haitang Bay only if duty-free shopping is already on your list.
