Sunac Haikou Melonxi language

Sunac Meilun Xiyu in Haikou, Hainan, is a resort-style residential landscape designed by ACA Maiken Landscape's First Division for Sunac South China, built by Jiangxi Landscape Construction Group. Hainan's tropical monsoon climate - long summer, no winter - suits a "migratory bird" retiree and holiday-home clientele, and the design uses "island" as its organising language to deliver a true forest-island residence. The 25-metre adult pool, jacuzzi and children's pool mimic Bali's sea-and-sand palette; the shallow zone is enlarged for children, and tiered wave-shaped planting islands with sun loungers evoke a tropical coconut grove. A community forest restaurant, inspired by Bali's Four Seasons, lets diners look out over the pool and coconut crowns and even touch Hainan coconut leaves from the terrace; it operates like a local "dad's tea" teahouse where residents share farm-picked fruit. The forest living room is a healing garden where rain trees and flamboyants are mixed to reach 45 percent shade, with fragrant and insect-repellent borders and freestanding platforms for lounging. The children's forest play area uses Morandi-blue wave forms rising like islands in a sea, fully shaded at 30 percent, with slides, mounds, trampolines and climbing, plus dedicated fitness and parent-watch zones. A small organic farm grows lychee, mango, papaya and wax apple, and one-square-metre vegetable plots residents can adopt; because many owners are part-time residents, the property management runs the farm and notifies owners when produce is ripe. The team's core value is "coming home is going on holiday" - shifting landscape from a viewing spectacle to an experiential one, with shaded main paths and rest areas that encourage people to stay. The project's success depended on close coordination of facade material samples, landform shaping, paving mock-ups and on-site supervision of large-tree planting.
