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

Package	Includes	Price	Best for
Day-pass water sports	One 1.5–2 hour activity + instructor + equipment	HK$ 388	Day visitors
Half-day experience	Two water sports + beach BBQ lunch	HK$ 588	Weekend half-day trip
Glamping standard	One night bell tent + one water sport + BBQ dinner	HK$ 880	Couples / two people
Glamping deluxe	One night family tent + two water sports + full BBQ + breakfast	HK$ 1,280	Families / 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)

Take MTR Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung Station, Exit B.
Board Island Line bus 11 (toward Tai O) or 23; get off at Cheung Sha.
