What a difference a coastline makes. Just ask any Hong Kong-based overseas professional who has thanked his, or his company's, good sense for finding him an apartment on the balmy south side of Hong Kong Island.
The Repulse Bay is southside living at its best. At Repulse Bay Apartments, at 101 Repulse Bay Road, apartments are available in three- and four-bedroom configurations, with all rooms enjoying stunning sea and mountain views.
Also available are serviced apartments at The Repulse Bay's deRicou building, 109 Repulse Bay Road. Each entry floor contains a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen, while the upper level has two bedrooms, including an en suite master bedroom.
These units are 'bright, airy and have a stylish art deco lobby', says The Repulse Bay, making them ideal for small families, business couples and executives. Maid services at de Ricou are available from Monday to Saturday. A daily shuttle-bus operates between The Repulse Bay and Central from 7am to 11.15pm.
The Repulse Bay's location is hard to beat, being opposite the GradeI Repulse Bay Beach with access to promenades, jogging paths and hiking trails.
Amenities, including a post office, restaurants and shops, are within walking distance. Stanley Market is about 10 minutes away by bus and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is a 10-minute walk.
