Wanhua River east foot island

Wanfa Jiangdong Ludao is Wanfa's first resort-style residential product in Haikou, sited in the Jiangdong New Area and developed by Hainan Luhua Business Travel with landscape design by AECOM's Chengdu office, Project Group Five. The master plan covers 212,000 square metres across six phases; the presented phase-one low-rise pool area uses water as an organising device to create a floating oasis that brings the tropical landscape into the community. The pool deck is choreographed as an island forest, its free-form curves evoking tidal currents washing rich textures into the sea, with planted islets scattered across the water to suggest a tropical grove where guests can enjoy coconut palms, sea breeze and evening light. Banquette seating and the bar counter sit like a small boat drifted between sea and greenery; the sculptural canopy above the bar is derived from tropical leaves, every vein parametrically modelled, detailed into shop drawings and translated into a construction manual to guarantee on-site fidelity. Loungers shaded between coconut palms hover above clear water, forming private nooks around the swimming-pool net-lounge and SPA zones. Lighting and atmosphere were tuned on site with a specialist lighting consultant, adjusting colour temperature after dusk. Raw, moss-covered stones and exuberant tropical planting deliver an unpolished jungle feeling, while an ice sculpture set within the garden creates a deliberate temperature contrast against Hainan's heat. Trellises weave coconut palms and hanging plants through a 360-degree immersive garden corridor; beyond them a terraced ravine leads to a landform garden where water, stone and planting meet. The 7,000-square-metre landscape reflects Wanfa's broader portfolio, from Luxiang International Community to Luhu Eco-City and Luyue Jiangcheng in Chongqing, and the client's focus on cultural and community value. Through repeated refinement, the team shaped a modern, romantically tropical resort character expressed in signature planting, localised art and programmed social spaces.
