Get In The Swing!

Imagine a staycation that offers five-star luxury, while granting its patrons access to 19 acres of top-notch sporting and wellness facilities.

It almost sounds too good to be true, right? Well, venture to the immaculate grounds of the Hong Kong Golf & Tennis Academy (HKGTA) and we guarantee you’ll not want to leave. From luxurious rooms for a weekend escape to top-of-the-line sports facilities and spa sessions, this sports and wellness retreat on the outskirts of Sai Kung has it all! KARL WOODBURY and family paid an overnight visit and discovered that it’s the perfect break to get the blood flowing and recharge the batteries!

First impressions

On arrival, we were shown to our gloriously spacious three-bedroom suite. The separate dining alcove to the side was an impressive introduction and the entrance flowed into a bright airy lounge that whispered “We have arrived” in more ways than one. Stunning green Asian ceramics dotted the room and the glass-topped side tables on black iron “trees” just made us smile.

The king-size master suite and two double bedrooms, all with a wall-mounted television, looked very inviting. The luxurious mattresses were so comfortable, ensuring a fabulous night’s sleep after a day of sport.

Each of the two bathrooms was stylish and stocked with lovely potions, and the rainforest overhead shower was especially rejuvenating. The small kitchen was also well-appointed, with the clever addition of a cooking hob for a quiet family night in.

Outside, the secluded village of Mediterranean-style architecture is breathtaking. Rowhouses, apartments, and villas sit side by side in the welcome greenery. Each residence has been individually designed and decorated, with every small detail taken care of so the athlete inside you can focus purely on sharpening your sporting prowess!
