Lantau Property For Rent

Lantau Island is ideal if you are looking for a lifestyle that’s all about proximity to nature, beautiful coastlines and a relaxed pace of life. Many people have weekend accommodation here and it attracts a high number of holidaymakers. It’s a sought-out place to kick back in, slow down and de-stress. It’s a place where people come to live full time, too, as it dovetails nicely with working in Hong Kong – but more about that later.

With cheaper property prices there are sound financial reasons to set up in Lantau Island. Here, for the same outlay as you would spend in many parts of Hong Kong, you can have the equivalent with a larger floor space, for example, or more amenities.

Lantau property for rent comes in varying forms. There are village houses, apartments, townhouses and villas. There is plenty of choice within these main categories and every budget is catered for.

Village Houses
These homes are traditional but have mostly had their interiors renovated and thoroughly modernized. They feature three floors, each being about 700 square feet in size. Additional space is often to be found in balconies and rooftop patios. Some of these houses may also have small gardens.

Lantau Island is a very welcoming place and if you live in a village house, you will be able to enjoy the close-knit feel of the community. Mui Wo has great examples of traditional-style houses, as does Cheung Sha to the south.

Apartments & Townhouses
This large segment of Lantau property for rent covers everything from small studios through to expansive townhouses. Apartments and townhouses are to be found in many parts of the island. Some will be part of developments where you will be able to take advantage of communal amenities such as a swimming pool, gym or clubhouse. Some developments are specifically located close to urban areas and will offer proximity to international schools, shopping malls and the island’s dining scene. Others will be close to nature, but still within reach of everything.

Some apartments and townhouses are the last word in luxury, offering high-end accommodation that is spacious and beautifully designed throughout. Views will be breathtaking and renting a property here will not only be practical but will allow its residents to partake in a wonderful lifestyle.

If you are looking for superlative apartments, head for Tung Chung, which offers a full range of amenities and is also close to the Hong Kong International Airport. Tung Chung also has MTR access.

Exceptional townhouses are meanwhile to be found in Discovery Bay and offer a family vibe in a close-knit setting. You can expect easy access to nature as well as close proximity to shops and malls.

Villas
Lantau property for rent comprises a whole array of villas from the simple and elegant all the way through to multi-bedroomed luxury hideaways. Some villas are to be found right by the beach and have their very own access. If you live here, you will be able to go straight from your home, through a gate and be right on the sands. Luxury villas will probably also have extensive grounds and a swimming pool. Villas generally are likely to be contemporary and extremely well-designed.

You can easily find villas in Mui Wo and Cheung Sha more to the south of the island. Both are picturesque locations while Cheung Sha has the island’s longest beach, allowing you to partake in swimming and water sports, or just chilling in one of the beachside cafes here.

There are also a few villas that are bespoke designed. Such villas will offer highly customized layouts and amenities, and will tend to be on the luxury end of the Lantau property spectrum.

The Advantages of Living on Lantau Island
Even though it is known as Hong Kong’s ‘green lung’ and its largest national parks are to be found here, Lantau Island still remains close to all the action. Plenty of people commute to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and further afield from here. There is an efficient ferry at Mui Wo and, as mentioned already, Tung Chung offers access to the MTR. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge also provides convenient and rapid access to the entire region. This means that those who live on Lantau island can enjoy the relaxed pace of life yet continue their work life in the city, just a short commute away.
