    While Hong Kong is known for its fast pace of life and bright lights there’s a tranquil side to the city waiting to be discovered. If you’re ready to take a break and indulge in a staycation, there are peaceful hotels dotted throughout the city that promise to help you unwind.

    So, switch off your phone, turn your ‘out-of-office’ on, and get ready to tune into tranquility. From serene seaside suites to pet-friendly hotels, Hong Kong’s most relaxing experiences can be found all over the city – if you know where to look. Head to Sai Kung for a slower pace of life, and charter a sampan to discover the city’s hidden islands, or reconnect with nature with a stay next to Hong Kong’s wildlife-filled wetlands.

It’s also located just five minutes from Sai Kung pier, making it easy for you to hop on a sampan to explore remote islands and relax on some of Hong Kong’s most pristine beaches. However, when the accommodation is this well-designed, there’s also no reason why you can’t stay in and make the most of your luxurious room, which features a free-standing bathtub as well as a private balcony or garden depending on your package.

    Auberge Discovery Bay

    Immense ocean views welcome you at the Auberge Discovery Bay , located in one of Hong Kong’s most chilled family-centric areas. With rooms boasting views of either rolling emerald hills or the glittering ocean, this rather romantic getaway is ideal for couples. Unwinding here is a breeze thanks to an outdoor pool and the top-of-the-line Spa Botanica, especially if you’ve booked one of the spa’s signature body treatments, which include aromatherapy massages and jasmine and rice scrubs. It’s also a great base from which to visit Hong Kong’s most famous tourist destinations, the Big Buddha. If you’re not afraid of heights, take a ride back on the Ngong Ping 360 cable cars, which connects the landmark to the outlet shoppers’ paradise, Citygate Outlets in Tung Chung.
