Green and pleasant Discovery Bay has come a long way from its sleepy, vaguely hippyish suburban beginnings. Auberge Hotel<\/a> is the car-free resort\u2019s first hotel and makes for a highly agreeable alternative to the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong Island.<\/p>\n A great location looking out to sea and plenty of greenery within walking distance make for fantastic hiking opportunities in the majestic mountains behind the resort. Guests can also utilize the gym facilities at the nearby residents\u2019 club, and there\u2019s a highly-rated golf club in the area too.<\/p>\n Hop on a bus to the main plaza for an al fresco meal at one of the many family-friendly restaurants\u2014with live bands playing at weekends\u2014or simply head for the huge sweep of Tai Pak beach and you may forget you are still in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another laid-back Lantau option, the Tai O Heritage Hotel<\/a> is a Grade II historic building and former police station next to Tai O Ferry Pier and Fisherman\u2019s Village.<\/p>\n This is a rare architectural gem, recently refurbished to a high standard with stylish furnishings and a glass-roofed restaurant: perfect for days spent enjoying Lantau\u2019s pristine beaches and watersports. Request a free building tour or take a sunset cruise around the harbor at dusk.<\/p>\n In Hong Kong, there are many yachts that you can rent overnight as a delicate getaway on the sea, so why not extend the idea with an overnight stay with friends aboard a 40-foot Bavaria Cruising Yacht?<\/p>\n Enjoy an en suite bedroom plus two doubles with a shared bath. The crew of two handles sailing, so relax on the serene ocean with bubbly drinks in hand. Plus, there\u2019s no need to navigate Central Ferry Pier later. You can just fall straight to bed onboard!<\/p>\n One for aesthetes, this super stylish hotel<\/a> located near the science museum in Tsim Sha Tsui was designed by Terence Conran, Rocco Yim, and William Lim, and boasts impeccable design credentials for its collaborations with the likes of Vivienne Tam.<\/p>\n Built and owned by the School of Hotel and Tourism Management, part of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, there\u2019s a strong independent vibe, with an emphasis on service without the corporate constraints that attracts local hipsters and international travelers alike.<\/p>\n Facilities include a rooftop pool, spa, health club, a Michelin \u20183 fork and spoon\u2019 rated Chinese restaurant, a to-die-for bakery, and a hip neighborhood caf\u00e9 called Green.<\/p>\n Splash out on a Club Room or suite for above and beyond privileges, which include a dedicated bar, lounge, and dining facilities and a full American breakfast included.<\/p>\n Accommodation options on the south side of Hong Kong Island are somewhat limited, but this stylish serviced apartment-style hotel<\/a> is a solid bet for couples looking for a home away from home \u2013studios can be rented per night, or one-bed apartments on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n The hotel is situated right in the heart of Stanley, near the action of the bars and restaurants looking out to sea, and a short stroll to the market. There\u2019s a laid-back vibe to the area, which is the closest thing to a European seaside resort found in Hong Kong. A must is the rooftop Jacuzzi.<\/p>\n Still considered the pinnacle of luxury and service by many, the Mandarin Oriental<\/a> is the ultimate staycation option for a well-deserved break. Everything about this hotel screams perfection and attention to detail \u2013 but in the quietest possible way, of course.<\/p>\n Dining options include not one, but two, Michelin-starred restaurants (the Mandarin Bar and Grill and Pierre), Mah Wah for Chinese, and informal options such as Caf\u00e9 Causette.<\/p>\n You can enjoy intimate drinks at The Chinnery or Captains Bar, or head to M Bar on the 25th floor for spectacular views over Hong Kong. And it\u2019s not just for grown-ups: kids are treated like royalty too, with babysitting services, children\u2019s menus, complimentary DVDs, and X Boxes and board games.<\/p>\n WM Hotel Hong Kong<\/a> is a tranquil oasis nestled in the scenic Sai Kung area, known as the back garden of Hong Kong. Surrounded by vast seascapes and rolling mountain ranges, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n Here, you can reconnect with nature’s lush abundance and explore the unique beauty of this region through nearby hiking trails and beaches, providing a relaxing paradise away from the urban bustle.<\/p>\n The hotel’s 260 guestrooms are tastefully designed with green, blue, and orange hues, evoking an enchanting coastal ambiance that seamlessly blends the sea, sun, and sky – connecting guests with nature.<\/p>\n Over 70% of the rooms feature balconies overlooking vast sea vistas.
