Scheduled to open on the banks of Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou City in October 2027, the 160-key resort is poised to bring a fresh perspective to the popular holiday destination in Zhejiang Province.
Spanning a total construction area of 36,000 square metres, Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will honour Qiandao’s fame as the world’s most island-rich freshwater lake.
Holidaymakers familiar with the area’s charm as well as new generations of vacationers will be immersed in the tranquil beauty of the reservoir and the lush surrounding forest.

The property is designed to accommodate a wide range of guests, from solo travellers seeking solitude to families looking for in-nature activities to business travellers with the resort's multifunctional banquet and meeting space. In addition to guest rooms ranging in size from 62 to 340 square meters, dining outlets at Anantara Thousand Island Lake Resort will include all-day dining, specialty and Chinese restaurants.
