Jumeirah Group is to continue its expansion in China with three more luxury hotels and resorts under development across the country and opening over the next six years.
It has signed management agreements for Jumeirah Haikou Resort, on a private island in Hainan, Jumeirah Wuhan in a city centre location near Hankou, and Jumeirah Nanjing in the new Hexi business district.
Both properties in Wuhan and Haikou are owned by subsidiaries of Yuexiu Group, a Guangzhou-based property development company, and the addition of all three brings Jumeirah's China pipeline up to eight properties.
“We are delighted to be expanding our portfolio of hotels and resorts in China, which is a significant market for Jumeirah,” said Jumeirah Group president and CEO Gerald Lawless.
“We are honoured to have been asked to operate these three new hotels in key cities, bringing our pipeline of new properties in China to eight, in addition to Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel in Shanghai, which has been operating successfully since 2011.”

The Jumeirah Haikou Resort is set within a golf community on a 136 hectare private island and is expected to open in 2018. Haikou is the capital of Hainan, which has the distinction of being the only non-industrialised province and only tropical island resort destination in the country.
As well as a golf course designed by Tom Doak, the resort will have 60 luxury residential villas and a luxury hotel with 140 guest rooms including 26 suites.
Among the F&B outlets will be an all-day dining and Chinese specialty restaurant, lobby lounge and bar, while the property will also have function space, recreational facilities such as a premier leisure club lounge, kids’ club, fitness centre and Talise Spa. Denniston International has been appointed as the project architect.
