FUXIAN LAKE INTERNATIONAL RESORTS XI'AN CLUB || A Dazzling Pearl Nestled In A True Fairyland

For a second, Fuxian Lake makes me believe fairytales do exist. 

Situated in Yuxi, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Fuxian Lake provides every ingredient that makes it a habitable paradise for fairies – a turquoise expanse of crystal-clear water flanked by tree-lined mountains, a gentle wind whispering to you with a floral note, and abundant sunshine all-year-around. There is no shortage of picture-perfect views if you venture here.

Designed by the design studio IDMatrix, Fuxian Lake International Resorts Xi’an Club extracts the tranquillity and vitality of the legendary lake. As you drive along the curvy rural roads accompanied by the refreshing scenes of lush roadside vegetation, a giant circular resort will instantly catch your eyes.

A great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Let’s embark on a mindful journey!

There’s nothing quite as soothing as a pale colour palette, especially when it is inspired by nature. In contrast with the rusticity of wood, stone gives a cooler feeling. Yet by incorporating a mix of these two raw elements, the interior achieves contrasting sensations. The resort embodies the essence of Zen in an architectural form. 

Sometimes the simplest element could unexpectedly create the most dramatic effect of all.

It’s always the little things that lift your mood.

Idmen utilizes muted colours to let light and shadow create depth and ambience for the space. The giant glass windows allow the sun’s rays to enter the room throughout the day to bring warmth in the daytime and offer a calming vibe as the sun sets in this idyllic environment. 

On the other hand, the shadows of the natural home décor such as large bonsai trees with playful branches further accentuate muted colours in the roomy space. The designer’s philosophy “Freedom in emptiness” is vividly embodied through an enchanting story told from the outside.

Branches of bonsai trees spread generously wherever they can. 

To ensure your stay is filled with utmost peace and relaxation, there are facilities including a gym room and swimming pool for you to break a serious sweat while being fed a visual feast of Fuxian Lake.

Invigorate your body and mind with a quick dip in the pool.

For a closer look at the view, spend the evening on the patio and terrace where you can enjoy a glass of wine with your loved ones as the cool breeze caresses your soul.

The resort seamlessly blends with surrounding natural scenery.
