A winter vacation getaway should never be limited to beaches.
In the dead of winter, as the wind knifes through your layers of cashmere and down, South China is a perfect choice for a winter escape both for families and couples. An approximately three-hour flight from the north or two-hour flight from other places in the Asia Pacific takes you to another piece of warm land — Shenzhen.
Neighboring the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong, Shenzhen has a long mild summer and a short relatively warm winter with an average temperature of 22°C, which makes the city a year-round travel destination.
This winter, The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen has designed a vacation solution for distinguished guests eager to explore the pulsating energy of Shenzhen, coupled with the timeless festive treasures within the hotel.
The best way to experience it all is within one of the hotel’s suites or Club Level accommodations, which offer an unparalleled level of service. Club Level benefits at The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen range from five exquisite culinary presentations throughout the day to a dedicated concierge for hard-to-get restaurant reservations and assistance with changing airline flights, and more.
For families, the vacation promises the little ones an evening of adventure in the comfort of their hotel room and brings the great outdoors inside with a fun in-room camping experience.
Of course, adventures will never be limited within the hotel. Guests who book the Winter Warmer package will enjoy an outdoor adventure exploration with a local concierge guide on a private round-trip transfer service to Shenzhen Bay Park, the longest coastal park in Shenzhen or the enormous theme park, Interlaken Overseas Chinese Town.
With a 13-kilometer stretch of reclaimed land along the southern coast of Shenzhen on the north shore of Shenzhen Bay, Shenzhen Bay Park offers a panoramic view covering the Shenzhen skyline, making it an ideal spot for cycling.
In addition, a trip to the Interlaken OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) will reveal the awe-inspiring alpine town replicating a Swiss village. Guests can enjoy sophisticated unique recreational outlets including the Wind Valley Golf Club, In-Spa Villa, China’s largest indoor and outdoor mineral spring spa, Sanzhou Tea Garden and a unique Tea Show which features a Zen theme.
The Winter Warmer package is priced starting from 1,688 yuan (US$260), including Deluxe Room accommodation with daily breakfast for two and one child under six years old, special amenities, and personalized services including one escorted butler transfer to Shenzhen Bay Park or Interlaken Overseas Chinese Town through this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
