1. Why Choose InterContinental Dameisha
Shenzhen is known worldwide as a hub of skyscrapers and tech parks. But travel 40 minutes east along the coast, and you'll discover a completely different Shenzhen — Dameisha Bay, a 1.8-kilometer stretch of pristine golden sand backed by the Wutong Mountains and facing the South China Sea. It's one of South China's most beloved beach destinations.
The InterContinental Shenzhen Dameisha Resort sits in the prime oceanfront location — the main lobby faces the sea, and the beach is just a short walk from your room. As an IHG flagship property, it combines world-class international hospitality with the relaxed charm of a southern China coastal resort — the standout choice for upscale beach holidays across the Greater Bay Area.
What makes it special:
- Unbeatable Location: direct beachfront access with exclusive guest-only sand areas;
- Iconic Infinity Pool: the resort's signature feature — a sea-facing infinity pool with stunning photo opportunities;
- Complete Resort Facilities: spa, six restaurants, kids' club, fitness center — everything needed for a perfect holiday without leaving the property;
- Easy Access: just 50 minutes from Shenzhen North railway station; under 2 hours from Hong Kong via high-speed rail.
2. Room Types Explained
The resort has approximately 390 rooms and suites distributed across the main tower and villa areas. Room categories are:
Garden-View / Mountain-View Rooms
Facing the resort's tropical gardens or Wutong Mountains. Around 45–50 sqm. Best for budget-conscious guests who still want 5-star service. Off-season weekday rates from ¥1,200; weekends around ¥1,500. Rooms feature king or twin beds, standalone tubs, rainfall showers, and balconies overlooking lush greenery.
Sea-View Rooms (Recommended)
Oceanfront rooms with direct sea views from your balcony — wake up to the blue horizon. Approximately 50 sqm, from ¥1,800 off-season. Best value for money — a few hundred yuan more than garden rooms, but the experience is entirely different. Sunrise views straight from bed.
Executive Sea-View Rooms
Sea-view rooms plus executive lounge access: complimentary afternoon tea, happy hour drinks, priority check-in/check-out. Around 55 sqm, from ¥2,500. Ideal for business travelers mixing work and relaxation.
Suites & Villa Villas
Sea-view suites (80+ sqm), presidential suites, and private beachfront villas with personal gardens and pools. Perfect for family reunions or small corporate events. Rates ¥3,500–¥5,800; book a month in advance during peak season.
3. The Infinity Pool
InterContinental Dameisha's most photographed feature is the oceanfront infinity pool — where the pool edge blends seamlessly with the seascape, creating the illusion of swimming into the sea itself. Loungers, umbrellas, and towel service surround the deck; a pool bar serves cocktails and light bites all afternoon.
The outdoor pool typically operates May–October (weather permitting), 07:00–22:00. The resort also features:
- Children's Pool: shallow 0.3–0.6 m depths with slides and water sprays;
- Indoor Heated Pool: year-round operation for winter swimming;
- Private Villa Pools: exclusive to villa guests.
Photography tip: the best light is 1 hour before sunset (17:00–18:00) — golden hour reflected on the water, with the gradient sky and sea as backdrop.
4. Spa & Wellness Center
The spa spans over 2,000 sqm and offers comprehensive relaxation experiences:
- Chinese Therapies: meridian massage, herbal heat therapy, foot reflexology;
- Southeast Asian Treatments: Balinese aromatherapy massage, Thai stretch massage;
- Facial Treatments: international skincare brands, 60–90 minute sessions;
- Couples Packages: dual VIP rooms with aromatherapy bath, side-by-side massage, afternoon tea.
Many Klook packages include spa vouchers — typically 20–30% cheaper than walk-in rates. Book treatments a day ahead; weekends fill quickly.
5. Dining Venues
Six on-site restaurants and bars covering Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisines:
| Restaurant | Cuisine | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Oceanview All-Day Dining | Buffet · International | Breakfast is a must — seafood selection, themed spreads |
| Ming Court | Cantonese · Dim Sum | Lunch dim sum combos offer great value |
| Seascape Restaurant | Mediterranean | Dinner with ocean views — special occasions |
| Japanese Grill | Sushi · Teppanyaki | Fresh sashimi, daily air-freighted ingredients |
| Poolside Bar | Cocktails · Light Bites | Post-swim drinks and snacks |

Breakfast packages on Klook are especially good value — the buffet breakfast normally costs ¥280/person; packages for two effectively give one free breakfast.
6. Beach & Waterfront Activities
Dameisha Bay is Shenzhen's most popular public beach, but peaks get crowded and require WeChat mini-program reservations in summer. Staying here gives you direct beach access without waiting — enter the private guest area via the hotel.
Activities available:
- Beachside Walks: early morning or sunset strolls along 1.8 km of sand — serene and scenic;
- Water Sports: kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling (hotel can arrange via partners);
- Beach Volleyball: free public courts on the main beach;
- Coastal Biking: ride the seafront path to Little Dameisha — ~5 km scenic loop;
- Sunrise Watching: the resort faces southeast; summer sunrises around 05:30 — visible from your balcony or the beach.

8. Getting There from Hong Kong
The resort is hugely popular with Hong Kong visitors — here are the main routes:
Option 1: High-Speed Rail + Taxi (Fastest)
Hong Kong West Kowloon Station → Shenzhen North (~20 min, ¥75) → taxi to Dameisha (~50 min, ¥120–150). Total ~1.5 hours. Fastest and most convenient.
Option 2: Shenzhenwan Port + Taxi
Bus to Shenzhenwan crossing (~30 min), clear customs, then taxi (~40 min, ¥100–130). Total ~1.5–2 hours. Good for New Territories residents.
Option 3: Liantang Port + Taxi
Liantang is closest to Dameisha — taxi just ~20 min (¥50–70). But getting from Hong Kong to Liantang itself is more complex; better for self-driving or pre-arranged cars.
Option 4: Hotel Shuttle
The resort arranges paid shuttle service from any Shenzhen port or railway station. Cost ¥300–500; book 48 hours in advance via concierge. Eliminates taxi hassles.
9. Insider Tips & Best Practices
