Deal price: ¥1119 (≈$155, was ¥2888 — 61% off) for 2 nights · ⏰ Usable October 26, 2026 – June 30, 2027 · Book by 17:00 the day before · Refundable if unbooked
One island, one hotel: the Free InterContinental owns the whole of Xianshan Peninsula on Qiandao Lake, ringed by water on three sides, so the “resort” and the “scenery” are the same thing. The base tier is 2 nights in a 49-square-metre forest room (king with a 2-metre bed, or twin — either 1 room × 2 nights or 2 rooms × 1 night) with breakfast for 2 each morning and 2 coffees (Americano or latte), plus a long shared-perks list that is the real value here: a couples’ session at the new mountaintop “Dead Sea” hot spring, wellness experiences (morning wake-up, sound-healing lunch break, family yoga, gong-release show), workshops (pin-bean crafts, board-game parties, DIY sun hats and heritage cloth-paste art), a swan-garden feeding session, Xianshan Botanical Garden (0.45 km away), exploring Xianshan’s trails and viewpoints, an 1800-square-metre indoor kids’ park (unlimited), a high-speed-rail shuttle for 2 adults + 1 child, a 15% Free Island discount coupon and a Moon Gate photo session (3 prints) — most bookable with a day’s notice.
The rooms lean into the setting: nearly every room has dual balconies — watch the sunrise colour the lake from one, the sunset from the other — with Oriental-Zen styling in pale wood and grey, and the higher tiers add lake views, Bulgari toiletries and a deep soaking tub. Days here run slow by design: lakeside cycling, hiking the peninsula trails, a yacht cruise from the hotel jetty (extra cost), coffee on the rocky beach by day and the Free Island blues live show with BBQ and mojitos by night.
Packages (all include the 12 shared island perks above)

Good to know: usable from October 26, 2026 — this deal only starts tomorrow, so don’t try to check in today. The headline “Dead Sea” hot spring opens for booking from around November 6 (season-dependent; the hotel confirms the exact date), and the new Free Island tennis club is part of the same launch. Book by 17:00 the day before use, and book the shared-perk activities a day ahead too. The premium tier’s set meal is lunch-only on New Year’s Eve and public holidays.
What guests say
No guest reviews on the booking platform yet for this Double 11 deal — it’s a newly listed promotion, so the platform’s review pool for it is still empty. The fuller picture sits on Trip.com, where the same property (listed as InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort, on Xianshan Peninsula) carries a 4.7/5 rating from over 8,700 guest reviews. Guests there praise the secluded lakeside setting and lake-view rooms (April 2026), a kids’ club that suits children under 8 and rentable e-scooters — while noting limited dining nearby (February 2026) — and fast room changes when something goes wrong, plus stargazing balconies and a good breakfast dessert selection (May 2026). The balancing notes are worth knowing too: a few guests mention ageing facilities and weak midday air-conditioning in summer. These are Trip.com guest reviews, not the booking platform’s own — quoted here so the hotel’s track record isn’t hidden behind an empty review pool. What’s verifiable before you book: this is the peninsula’s only hotel (genuinely one-island-one-hotel), the 2-night tier is refundable while unbooked, and the validity runs to June 30, 2027 — so a speculative booking for a spring lakeside weekend costs nothing if plans change.
