Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Deep Water Bay is a residential bay on Hong Kong Island's southern shore, called by Forbes the wealthiest neighbourhood on earth.
About Deep Water Bay
Where to stay in Deep Water Bay
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms are few on this bay. Deep Water Bay is a residential shore of houses and low blocks rather than a hotel quarter, so most visitors sleep elsewhere on Hong Kong Island and come to the bay for the water and the sand. Two roads set the choice: Deep Water Bay Road under Brick Hill, and Repulse Bay Road running east to the Island Road roundabout.
Pick the Repulse Bay Road side if you want the run east within reach.
About Deep Water Bay
What are the main landmarks in Deep Water Bay?
The bay keeps few landmarks. Four public sports halls serve this run of shoreline, and all of them stand outside the bay: the Aberdeen Tennis and Squash Centre, the Wong Chuk Hang Sports Centre, the Ap Lei Chau Sports Centre and the Yue Kwong Road Sports Centre. Inside it the draw is the water itself, with Middle Island lying offshore past Island Road and the slopes of Violet Hill closing the view inland.
What is the history of Deep Water Bay?
Wealth wrote this shore's story. Deep Water Bay took shape as a residential quarter on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island rather than as a working harbour, and Forbes has named it the wealthiest neighbourhood on earth. Its outline is the work of three roads.
Repulse Bay Road holds the eastern edge, Island Road faces the sea toward Middle Island, and Deep Water Bay Road closes both the western and the northern sides.
Where is Deep Water Bay?
The bay opens between Shouson Hill, Brick Hill and Violet Hill on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island, with Middle Island lying offshore beyond Island Road.
