Fresh, the signature restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Sanya, is an idyllic hideaway just steps from the South China Sea. Serving a contemporary Australian cuisine heavily inspired by both French and Japanese cooking, the restaurant inspires the senses through intricately prepared dishes completely unique to the area.

Blessed with a stunning location hidden away in the corner of Mandarin Oriental, Sanya's 1.2 km private Coral Bay, Fresh encapsulates all the beauty and refinement of the luxury resort. The restaurant has been constructed with local volcanic rocks in a completely al fresco setting that creates a look of rustic, understated elegance. The design perfectly complements the dramatic backdrop of rugged coastline, all of which is illuminated by a blanket of stars overhead.

As they peruse the menu and make their selections from our saltwater and shellfish tanks, guests are treated to complimentary amuse-bouche and a magnificent sunset daily, making every visit a meal to remember. [Fresh restaurant in gallery]
