JW Marriott Sanya Dadonghai Bay is a luxury beachfront resort nestled between the lush mountains and the turquoise waters of Dadonghai Bay. While it is a premier family and business destination, it has carved out a prestigious reputation in the poker world as the exclusive annual home of the CPG Masters. This “High Roller” edition of the China Poker Games (CPG) brings an elite field of domestic and international pros to the property every December, offering a more intimate and upscale tournament experience compared to the massive flagship festivals in Sanya Bay.


Why JW Marriott Sanya Dadonghai Bay?

  • CPG Masters Venue: JW Marriott Sanya Dadonghai Bay is the designated host for CPG’s high-stakes series, featuring the most prestigious buy-ins and “Master” titles in the Chinese circuit.
  • Elite Event Facilities: Boasts a 1,978 sqm total event space, including a high-ceiling Grand Ballroom that offers a sophisticated arena for final table action.
  • Mountain & Ocean Serenity: Located at the foot of Luhuitou Mountain, the resort provides a quieter, more exclusive “retreat” atmosphere than the high-traffic resorts in Haitang or Sanya Bay.

The Poker Experience

Like all venues in mainland China, JW Marriott Sanya Dadonghai Bay does not host cash games. Poker tables are only active during the CPG Masters festival. The 2025 edition recently concluded in December, and the venue is widely expected to return as the host for the 2026 CPG Masters in mid-to-late December.

The Masters series is known for attracting “Elite” and “High Roller” brackets, with buy-ins (processed via tickets/credits) significantly higher than the standard CPG Tour stops. The resort’s layout allows for a high degree of privacy for players, making it a favorite for high-profile figures in the Chinese industry.
