Mountain and Sea Luxury Retreat: At the peak of Shenzhen's Xiyong, find a relaxed sanctuary for the soul
When the city's subway first pierced through the mountains and sea, announcing "Next stop, Xiyong," a poetic journey of escape and discovery began. Here, I found SENSEA Mountain and Sea Resort — a sea-view secret perched atop the rocks, certified by the Black Truffle Award, redefining all my weekend imaginations of Shenzhen.
Arrival · An Artistic Hideaway Between Mountain and Sea
Driving along the winding "most beautiful coastal highway," a vast expanse of blue suddenly appears. SENSEA is not a flashy presence; it is built along the mountain, with unique "Chinese red" accents highlighting the lush greenery and blue waves, quietly telling a story of Eastern aesthetics. Upon entering, the design concept of a "relaxed realm" greets you. This is far from an ordinary hotel; it feels more like a low-key luxury art gallery combining a Mediterranean restaurant, intangible cultural heritage creative space, and travel photography base. It meets the standards of the world’s top SLH boutique hotels and promises an immersive experience on par with traveling abroad.
Check-in · 270° Panoramic Sea View, Sleep with the Waves
My room is a true vessel for dialogue with the sea. Outside the giant floor-to-ceiling windows is an unobstructed 270° panoramic sea view. Sunlight turns the sea into scattered gold, with occasional sailboats drifting by. The room’s design is simple yet textured, with details revealing a dedication to quality. The most stunning feature is the private terrace, perfect for watching the sunset. Watch the horizon fade from orange-red to pink-purple, with the sound of waves growing nearer, becoming the most natural white noise of the night. The so-called "morning sunrise viewing, night wave listening" is this kind of tangible romance.
Explore · Stroll Along Shenzhen’s Most Beautiful Coastline
With the hotel as the center, the wonders of Xiyong are within reach. A short walk leads to the 516-meter-long Xiyong Sky Sea Viewing Boardwalk, like walking through a flowing landscape painting. For romance seekers, the nearby Rose Coast offers a long golden beach and beautiful architecture, a paradise for photography and relaxation. For explorers, follow the Dapeng Bay Loop Boardwalk, passing several famous resorts until reaching the iconic Beizijiao Lighthouse. Sports enthusiasts must not miss the ongoing "Dapeng Mountain and Sea Sports Season," featuring everything from mountain and sea markets to a sailing carnival, full of energy.

Taste · The Philosophy of Mountain and Sea on Your Palate
The cuisine of Kuichong is a feast of local flavors. The cliffside sea-view restaurant at SENSEA specializes in Mediterranean fusion dishes, resonating with the sound of waves, perfect for a ceremonial dining experience. To experience local essence, visit the Danjia Sea-view Restaurant, adhering to the principle of "no freshness, no eating," serving freshly caught seafood paired with unbeatable views and exquisite flavors. Additionally, local intangible heritage foods like Kuichong tea cakes and specialty Baguan hairy crabs are must-tries.
Rest · Beyond Expectations, Perfect Fulfillment
Every moment here redefines "comfort." It might be a hand-poured coffee in the hotel’s superb café in the afternoon, the warmth of returning to a meticulously prepared room after a stroll, or simply doing nothing and letting the sea breeze brush your face as you relax. SENSEA offers not just a night’s sleep but a lifestyle control that allows you to switch anytime between lively and peaceful, exploration and rest.
This Xiyong journey deeply taught me: the ultimate relaxation is not escaping the city but finding a mountain and sea gap near the bustle where the soul can breathe freely. SENSEA is exactly such a place. It quietly stands on a corner of Shenzhen’s most beautiful coastline, waiting for every traveler who pursues quality life to come and write their own poem of relaxation.
