We open the seaside list with the resort that's closest to the sand and the biggest in the zone — the InterContinental Shenzhen Dameisha Resort scores 9.5/10 from around 9,297 real guest reviews (the most on the list). This ~432-room five-star sits right on Dameisha Beach on Yankui Road in Yantian district, and the best part is that you step out of the resort straight onto the sand, with golden shore stretching about 2 kilometres. There are ocean-view rooms, several indoor and outdoor pools with a kids' water slide, and Wutong Mountain rising behind for a mountain-meets-sea feel; ride Metro Line 8 to Dameisha station to get here. Guests come back praising the beachfront location, the family pools and the full-resort feel. To be straight with you: it's about 20–30km from the Futian CBD / the Hong Kong border (a longer metro ride than staying central), the resort has been open a while (renovated in 2020), and it gets busy and pricier on holidays and through the summer.
