China Duty Free Group (CDFG) this week inaugurated the cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex Block C—the Global Beauty Plaza.



It is designed to provide consumers with better travel and retail experiences and enhance both cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex and Hainan as world-class tourism and shopping destinations.
cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex Block C, which occupies a construction area of 78,000sq m, was jointly designed by Büro Ole Scheeren and Valode & Pistre Architectes.
The overall design was inspired by a docked yacht and tells the story of a ‘Fragrant Journey’ throughout the space.

The art corridors, which link Block C to Blocks A and B, were designed with the themes of ‘Spacetime Travel’ and ‘Flower Gallery’.
The design imbues Block C with a unique ambience and style while forming a cohesive connection between the new block and other structures in the complex. It highlights Hainan’s tropical climate and natural landscape and offers an immersive experience for visitors.

Beauty giants such as Lancôme, Estée Lauder and Dior have all introduced their first-ever double-storey travel retail flagship stores, while Le Labo, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Pat McGrath Labs have chosen Block C to showcase their latest and China travel retail-exclusive innovative designs and concepts.

In addition, shoppers can enjoy a variety of top-quality services and facilities at cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex Block C, including Hainan’s first multi-brand Spa Centre. Featuring an impressive brand mix and exclusive, limited-edition products, the Spa Centre promises customers ‘an immersive multi-dimensional sensory experience and a serene space for physical and mental healing’.

Under the leadership of its parent company China Tourism Group, CDFG will stay committed to the motto of ‘doing business in good faith and providing quality services’ and continue to develop the Hainan market with increased focus and investment.
The opening of Global Beauty Plaza at cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex Block C brings more brands, better services and a more convenient and pleasurable retail experience to Hainan’s offshore duty free consumers, offering travellers the joy of ‘seeing the world and shopping at cdf’.
In the long run, the project will help fully release the potential of cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex as a tourism and retail landmark, enhance the regional commercial landscape, create a new ‘duty free + cultural tourism’ paradigm, and boost the development of Hainan Free Trade Port.
