Repulse Bay, a prestigious beachfront haven on Hong Kong Island’s southern edge, harmoniously blends colonial seaside heritage with contemporary luxury and natural splendour. Its curving bay hosts powdery white sands and crystalline waters, while upscale boutiques, waterfront eateries, and verdant trails reflect a neighbourhood of effortless elegance. Repulse Bay appeals to high-net-worth families, expatriates, and nature enthusiasts who seek a peaceful retreat just minutes from the city’s pulse.

Repulse Bay is easily accessed by bus routes 6, 6A, 6X, 66, or 260 from Central or Admiralty MTR stations (20–30 minutes). Minibus 40 offers a quicker option from Causeway Bay. Taxis are plentiful for the scenic drive along Repulse Bay Road. Once there, the flat beachfront and compact layout make walking or cycling ideal, with ample parking for private vehicles.

Repulse Bay evokes Hong Kong’s romantic colonial past. Named after the British warship HMS Repulse that once repelled pirates in the 19th century, it transformed from a fishing village into an elite resort area, highlighted by the legendary Repulse Bay Hotel (opened 1920, reimagined in the 1980s as luxury residences).
