Luxury Property Lantau
Lantau is increasingly seen as a very favorable destination for those seeking luxury properties. It’s situated away from the more crowded parts of Hong Kong, and because it’s an island, it retains its own charm without being assimilated by its more urban neighbors. Lantau offers lower density living and is more relaxed and is therefore particularly attractive to those investors who are seeking a quieter and slower pace of life. Yet it doesn’t mean missing out on anything. It’s easy to get everywhere, thanks to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and there are also ferries. It’s foreseen that it will become ever easier to connect with Hong Kong and the mainland.
An important financial consideration to take into account is that property of all kinds in Lantau tends to be cheaper than in Hong Kong and Kowloon; you will be able to have a property with more space for the same price.
In the following guide we will take a very brief look at the main kinds of property that are available along with some popular locations. luxury property Lantau is mainly comprised of villas, townhouses and apartments of various kinds.
Villas
In Lantau you will find that villas are spacious; layouts tend to be larger than in most parts of Hong Kong. There are quite often outdoor spaces that are private, with nobody able to see into these areas. Large outdoor areas are also possible features and very often there will be a garden and/or a swimming pool. Such properties are ideal for families who would like to be private yet to have outdoor spaces where they can enjoy nature.
If you head to Cheung Sha and the south of the island, you will be able to find villas that are directly on the coast, adding to their desirability. Some will even have their very own access to the beach, but most will have superb views over the ocean. Ideal for those who are looking for a luxe, laidback beachside life.
Mui Wo also has a number of villas and this seaside town is popular with expatriates who enjoy the relaxed vibe here. There is an additional benefit; the town has its own ferry route to the city.
Townhouses
Townhouses are very much a part of luxury property Lantau and go well beyond their usual definition. Here on Lantau Island, you can expect to find beautiful, contemporary-style townhouses which are replete with every modern convenience possible. As with villas, they tend to be on the spacious side, and many also have terraces. What makes them even better is that they tend to be well located and are often to be found close to international schools, parks and shopping facilities. Not just luxurious, but also highly convenient, townhouses such as these are popular with expatriates with families.
Popular locations include Discovery Bay, which has a family vibe and a sense of community, making it easy to socialize. Closer to the airport you will find townhouses in Tung Chung which tend to be ecologically designed and built. The area is close to prestigious shopping malls and offers convenient transport options to all areas.

Luxury lifestyles in Lantau
Even though it is an island, Lantau offers diversity when it comes to lifestyle choices. You can live a secluded, get-away-from-it-all life in a villa in the southern part, or benefit from a community feel while living in a townhouse or aim for the more urban infrastructure of a contemporary apartment. What underpins all these different styles is the proximity to nature. Lantau is well known for its parks and for those who want to have the ultimate escape from city life, there is the Lantau Trail which takes in both the coast and the hills as it winds its way through the kind of landscape that isn’t usually associated with Hong Kong – it’s not for nothing that Lantau Island is known as the city’s ‘green lung’.
