2. Why Choose Lantau Island Glamping

Hong Kong offers countless hiking trails, but few places let you sleep on the beach and wake up to the sea — until now. Cheung Sha Beach, stretching over 3 kilometres, is Hong Kong's longest natural beach: crystal-clear water, pristine sand, backed by lush green mountains. The glamping site perfectly balances the freedom of camping with hotel-level comfort.

Glamping (luxury camping) at Lantau Island offers clear advantages over traditional camping:

  • No gear required: Bell tents, mattresses, pillows, blankets, and camping lights are pre-set. Arrive with just your bag.
  • Water sports included: Kayaking, SUP paddleboarding, and surfing with trained instructors and full equipment provided.
  • BBQ dinner: Pre-prepared food, professional grills, and seasonings — you cook and eat, no logistics hassle.
  • Sunset views: Cheung Sha faces southwest, making it one of Hong Kong's best sunset-watching spots.
  • Close to the city: Just 20 minutes by bus from Tung Chung MTR Station — day-trip or overnight, either works.

3. Bell Tent Types

Each tent arrives fully furnished, styled differently, and designed for different group sizes:

Bell Tent (Glamping Starlight Tent)

The most popular choice. A 5-metre-diameter canvas bell tent with a transparent window at the peak — perfect for stargazing in bed. Inside: double air mattress, area rug, small coffee table, LED string lights. Sleeps 2–4 people. Private lounge area in front with outdoor seating.

Family Tent

An expanded version that sleeps 4–6 people. Split into two zones: a sleeping area and a lounge area. Includes small storage cubbies and charging outlets — ideal for families with children.

Group Tent

The largest option, perfect for 6–8 friend groups. Open-plan layout with multiple single mattresses, a dedicated BBQ area, and a bonfire pit. Full party vibe — popular for birthday celebrations and team-building events.

4. Water Sports Explained

Cheung Sha's calm waters and excellent conditions make it a rare Hong Kong beach for diverse water activities. All sessions are led by certified instructors and include full equipment.

Kayaking

The most beginner-friendly water sport. Paddle a two-person kayak along Cheung Sha's coastline, spotting sea cliffs and hidden coves on Lantau's south shore. 15-minute land briefing, then water. Total session: 1.5 hours. Ages 6+.

SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding)

A trendy water sport gaining fast popularity. Balance on a large board and paddle with a single oar, a great core workout with ocean views. Most beginners find their footing within 20 minutes. Total session: 1.5 hours. Optional: SUP yoga — perform yoga poses on the board for an extra balance challenge.

Surfing

Cheung Sha is one of Hong Kong's top surf spots, especially in autumn and winter. The camp provides soft boards (ideal for beginners). Instructors teach stance, paddling, and safety. Total session: 2 hours. Recommended ages 10+, with basic swimming ability.

5. Package Comparison

Day-pass water sportsOne 1.5–2 hour activity + instructor + equipmentHK$ 388Day visitors
Half-day experienceTwo water sports + beach BBQ lunchHK$ 588Weekend half-day trip
Glamping standardOne night bell tent + one water sport + BBQ dinnerHK$ 880Couples / two people
Glamping deluxeOne night family tent + two water sports + full BBQ + breakfastHK$ 1,280Families / groups of 4

Strong recommendation: Glamping standard package. A bell tent alone costs HK$ 500+; with water sports and dinner, you're saving 30% or more. Overnight is the only way to catch the sunset and sleep under stars.

6. BBQ Experience

Glamping BBQ isn't a "bring-your-own" affair — the site provides pre-prepared food kits and professional grills:

  • Standard BBQ: beef steak, chicken wings, sausages, vegetable skewers, corn, marshmallows — plus sauces and drinks.
  • Seafood upgrade: adds king prawns, squid, scallops, and baby abalone (+HK$ 150/person).
  • Vegetarian option: plant-based patties, roasted vegetables, veggie sausages — order 48 hours ahead.

BBQ usually runs 17:00–20:00, timed perfectly for sunset. Grill meat while the sun dips into the South China Sea — a highlight moment. After dinner, enjoy bonfire time (weather permitting): gather around, chat, roast marshmallows, and embrace the peace away from the city.

7. Sunset & Starry Skies

Cheung Sha faces southwest with zero high-rise obstruction — a premier Hong Kong sunset spot. Best viewing times by season:

  • Summer (May–Aug): 18:30–19:30
  • Autumn / Winter (Sep–Feb): 17:00–18:00
  • Spring (Mar–Apr): 18:00–18:45

After dark, far from city light pollution, Cheung Sha reveals clear night skies — on clear nights you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Bring a ground sheet, lie on the sand, turn off the camp lights, and let your eyes adjust. Stunning.

8. Getting There

Cheung Sha Beach sits on Lantau's south shore — remote but well-connected:

Public Transit (recommended)

  1. Take MTR Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung Station, Exit B.
  2. Board Island Line bus 11 (toward Tai O) or 23; get off at Cheung Sha.
  3. Journey: ~20 minutes; fare HK$ 11.80.
  4. Walk 3–5 minutes to the camp.

Note: Bus 11 runs every 20–30 minutes; weekend service is more frequent. Check the bus operator's timetable online.

Driving

From the city centre: Tuen Mun Road → Lantau Link → Tung Chung Road → Lantau South Road. Total ~50–70 minutes. Free parking available at the site, but spaces are limited (about 10); arrive early on weekends. Private cars need a permit to access restricted roads on south Lantau — apply in advance.

Taxi

From Tung Chung Station, hire a blue Lantau Island taxi to Cheung Sha; fare HK$ 60–80, ~15 minutes. Request pickup arrangements from the camp on departure.

9. Best Seasons

  • Ideal: April–June, September–November — clear skies, 22–28°C, calm water, fewer insects.
  • Summer (Jul–Aug): peak water-sports weather but 33°C+ heat; strong sun protection needed. Watch for typhoons.
  • Winter (Dec–Feb): peaceful, few crowds, excellent star visibility, tent heaters provided — but cooler water means wetsuits for water sports.
  • Avoid: Public holidays and long weekends — tents book out fast; reserve 2–4 weeks ahead.

10. Packing Checklist

  • Must bring: swimwear, towel, sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, flip-flops, change of clothes.
  • Recommended: insect repellent, portable charger, Bluetooth speaker, playing cards.
  • Not needed: tent, sleeping bag, cooking gear, food — all included in the package.
  • Phone signal: 4G available but spotty. Consider logging off and enjoying nature.
  • Restrooms/showers: Public facilities with hot water (until 22:00).
  • Safety: Instructors and lifeguards present for all water activities; life jackets provided. Non-swimmers can kayak and SUP.
  • Pets: Some sessions allow pets; confirm in advance and pay a cleaning fee.
