Day 2: Full-Day Relaxation at Private Beach
Spend the entire day unwinding at the quiet, pristine beaches of Chiling or Tufuwan—known for their fine sand and crystal-clear water. Kids can have fun building sandcastles, playing in the shallow water, and collecting seashells, while adults can relax in the sun, swim in the sea, practice beach yoga, or enjoy a good book.

The core of today is pure relaxation—no attractions, no schedules, just enjoying the island life at your own pace.
Day 3: Fenjiezhou Island Light Adventure (Family-Friendly)
In the morning, take a smooth 30-minute boat ride to Fenjiezhou Island, a 5A scenic spot famous for its intact marine ecology and clear waters. Spend the morning snorkeling in the shallow sea, where you can see colorful coral reefs and tropical fish—professional instructors are available specifically for children to ensure safety. You can also feed dolphins and interact with these friendly marine creatures. After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant on the island, take a short break either on the beach loungers or by returning to the villa.

In the evening, enjoy a barbecue by the villa's pool under the starry sky, creating wonderful family memories.
Day 4: Tropical Fruit Orchard & Coconut Island
Start your day with a visit to a local tropical fruit orchard, where you can pick fresh fruits such as wax apple, mango, sugar apple, and star fruit—taste them right after picking for the most authentic tropical flavor. After a relaxing lunch and afternoon nap, take a boat to Coconut Island, surrounded by lush coconut groves and quiet beaches. Enjoy a unique camping experience on the island, pick fresh coconuts, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the tropical jungle. In the evening, return to the villa to enjoy a special coconut-themed dinner, then relax freely at your leisure.
Day 5: Nanwan Monkey Island & Fishing Port Culture
In the morning, visit Nanwan Monkey Island, the only island-type macaque nature reserve in China. Take the 2138-meter cross-sea cableway (the longest cross-sea cableway in China) to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the stunning coastal scenery and the "floating village" of the Danjia people (known as the "Gypsies of the Sea"). Walk along the gentle trails in the forest, watch the macaques play, and get up close to these lovely animals. At noon, head to Xincun Fishing Port, where you can visit the seafood market, buy fresh seafood, and have it cooked on the spot to experience the life of local fishermen. After an afternoon nap, take a walk along the fishing port in the evening, watch the fishing boats return to the harbor, and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the sea. Spend the night relaxing freely at the villa.
Day 6: Gentle Surfing & Sailing Experience
In the morning, kids (6 years old and above) can take gentle surfing lessons with professional instructors in the shallow water, ensuring safety while learning a new skill. Adults can enjoy sailing or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experiences on the calm sea, feeling the breeze and the joy of gliding on the water. After a leisurely lunch and afternoon nap, engage in free beach activities — play beach volleyball, swim in the sea, or simply sit and relax, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. In the evening, savor a delicious seafood feast, and optionally join a beach bonfire to dance and laugh with your family under the stars.
Day 7-8: Fully Flexible Free Days
These two days are completely flexible, allowing you to tailor your itinerary according to your family's preferences — you only need to choose one activity per day, and the rest of the time is for free relaxation. On Day 7, you can choose to go sea fishing on a stable, family-friendly fishing boat to catch fresh seafood, or simply lounge by the villa's pool, read a book, or take a nap.
