FAIRYLAND homestay  

Perched on the east bank of Erhai Lake in Haidong Town, Dali City, this Santorini-style boutique hotel crowns a hill with sweeping mountain-and-lake views of Cangshan and Erhai Lake. Sunsets here dye the white facades pink for a truly romantic lakeside vibe.

Just six themed guest rooms, each with its own character, terraces and projection setups for dramatic photos. Rooms include small guest refrigerators, TCL washing machines, American Jinkeer mattresses, Dyson hair dryers, Italian Parma toiletries and TOTO smart toilets. Guests also get minibar items, slippers, afternoon tea, a "good night" sweet soup and a hearty breakfast included. An on-call butler handles clothing, dining and local arrangements for an intimate stay.

Sunset sea-view restaurant and a landscape pool set the scene. A 270-degree sea-view yoga room and multiple viewing terraces offer prime photo ops. On-site gym, parking zone, elevator/lift and laundry service keep stays easy. Expect lake-and-mountain panoramas from public spaces and rooms.

Long-table conference room and generous shared areas for small meetings or intimate retreats.

An on-site restaurant with a sunset sea-view dining area serves included breakfasts and afternoon tea. Rooms come with minibar options and nightly sweet soup to round out the local, cozy dining experience.
