Elite Spring Villas.

Tucked into the tea-growing hills of Anxi County, Elite Spring Villas is a tranquil, low-density retreat that trades city bustle for the quiet rhythms of southern Fujian. The resort’s 17 villas are modeled on traditional regional architecture, featuring heritage-inspired black tiles, white walls, and distinctive swallow-tail rooflines. As a dedicated Zen tea sanctuary, the property fully embraces its location—the birthplace of Tieguanyin tea—with fresh-leaf tea ceremonies, local tasting tours, and tea-infused hot springs. Guests can relax in private courtyards, take a dip in the outdoor pool, or explore the surrounding hills on complimentary bicycles. Dining spotlights regional Min and Yue cuisines, while dedicated butler service adds a highly personalized touch to this deep dive into Chinese tea culture.
