landLAB collaborated with Myklebust Company and Robert Hidey Architects on the resort masterplan for Clearwater Bay, a one kilometer square resort site on the south coast of Hainan Island, China close to the nearby resort town of Sanya. The new resort rests prominently on approximately 1000 meters of beach frontage, adjacent to numerous proposed five star resorts located along a 12 mile stretch of white sand beach. The resort masterplan de-emphasizes the use of the automobile, providing a network of nature trails and pedestrian walkways connecting the various types of residential unit types, retail areas and open space amenities to the beach. Palm tree-lined "Ocean Boulevard" is the main vehicular drive along the ocean frontage parcels connecting the two, 5-star resort hotels with the central island podium towers and retail promenade. The site planning maximizes ocean views and access to the public beach front plazas, where the user can enjoy numerous pools, lounges, cabanas and cafes. The beach front network of boardwalks and sport courts create an active "South Beach vibe" along the gorgeous white sand beach of Clearwater Bay.
