About The Entry

Casa Dolphin takes its name from Gaudí's Casa Milà and the oceanic spirit of Sanya. The logo captures the fleeting moment of a flamenco skirt in motion, distilling it into the super symbol of "Dolphins in a Duet Dance," where high-saturation dopamine color clashes embed the concept of "Dance" at first glance. This is a dialogue between two cities: Spanish curves and Hainan waves converge in a shared dance—the red of flamenco skirts and Sanya's bougainvillea, the Mediterranean sun and tropical sea breeze—their common "Passion" becoming the brand's origin.

Paying tribute to three Spanish masters: architecture draws from Gaudí's Casa Milà, where Catalan vaults, double-curved terraces, spiral columns, and staircases together form organic curves; a staircase wall bursts with Mediterranean intensity through mosaics inspired by Park Güell; Picasso's improvisational strokes transform into a 60-meter flowing light tube that runs through the space; Dalí's soft brushwork is reinterpreted into mirror frames and ironwork. The "Dancing" architecture grows wildly from Sanya's land, exuding the boundless vitality of dolphins leaping from water. Inside, before a 5-meter curved screen, dancers and guests engage in spontaneous dance; the mezzanine's encircling layout immerses everyone in joy like a theater; custom curved tables can be freely combined for guests to gather around, sharing food and stories; the electric lift-style art glass window connects inside and outside—by day, it shares song, dance, and laughter with the street; by night, it continues the celebration in harmony with the community.

All of this unfolds around Tapas. The essence of this traditional Spanish cuisine is sharing—small portions, low commitment, multi-scenario—naturally suited for all-day operation. Proprietors, dancers, and diners—each in their own time and space within Casa Dolphin—co-create a spirited living script. Art and commerce dance together; everything can be Tapas!
