With the current restrictions on travel, many of us are bracing for a hot and humid August in Hong Kong. I feel very frustrated that I cannot go back home and visit my family because my one year old daughter still has to do three weeks quarantine even though both her parents are vaccinated. But it could be worse. Hong Kong offers plenty of opportunities to make this summer a season to remember.
Set sail for Hong Kong’s secluded beaches
Hop on a yacht and make your way to some of the city’s hidden beaches. Whether it is a luxury cruiser, a floating villa for a weekend getaway at sea or a comfortable catamaran that you are looking for, Simpson Marine can find the boat the suits your needs.

The Sanlorenzo SX76, the only Sanlorenzo yacht available for charter in Hong Kong, is the ultimate luxury boat. Cue Italian design, yacht tender, jetski, seabobs, foil boards, and paddle boards to entertain up to 12 guests.
For a recreational day at sea with a group of up to 15 friends, the 36-feet sport motor catamaran Aquila 36 is a great option with its electric BBQ and onboard toys including floating mats and a kayak.
Looking for a comfortable option for an overnight cruise? Lagoon 450 is a luxury sailing catamaran which offers four open and bright cabins, with en-suite baths, and spacious outside spaces to socialize and laze in the sun.
Celebrating something special? The Alice 90 is a custom-made yacht, with luxurious interior designs, that can accommodate up to 50 people. It’s a great option for a stylish on-water party. But it also offers plenty of opportunities for fun with its optional water slide, trampoline, floating mat and wakesurf.

Enjoy a splashing good time at Kerry Hotel’s pool accessible with a day pass
A quarantine hotel, Kerry Hotel’s is opening its infinity pool overlooking the harbour, and the island, to non-staying guests with the “Daycation at Kerry” package. Priced at HKD 500 (+10%) on weekdays and HKD 700 (+10% on weekends) the package includes lunch by the pool. We had the fish tacos, Caesar salad and avocado toast and all three dishes were surprisingly tasty for poolside food. For an additional 350 HKD, you can also enjoy a 3-hour free-flow of Spritz, Rose and more.
