Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX) is the main gateway for Hainan’s southern beach destinations, acting as a regional international and domestic hub rather than a low-cost outpost. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, plus seasonal charter flights from neighboring countries, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on timing. The airport sits about 15–20 km from downtown Sanya; taxis and rideshares generally take 20–40 minutes, while airport shuttles and local buses can take 30–60 minutes with lower fares. Pros: reasonably modern facilities and direct links to major Chinese cities and resorts. Cons: peak-season crowds and occasional longer waits for ground transport.
