Although this resort is not located in Hong Kong, it is still popular as a weekend destination and frequented by Hong Kongers looking for a relaxing getaway – oh and there is a massive golf course too. Voted “The Best Golf Resort in China” by China Golf Magazine for five consecutive years, the Palm Island Resort is a prime haven of leisure and luxury. With a scenic 27-hole golf course comprising three unique 9-hole sections, this is one of the first golf courses in Southern China to allow golf carts on fairways. Not only does Palm Island have the highest golfing standards, but it is also a world-class resort with grand clubhouses, tennis courts, a shooting range, state-of-the-art business centres, sauna and spa facilities with paintball fields to boot.

Situated in the Hui Yand District in the East of Guangdong Province, Palm Island is just 40 minutes from the Hong Kong boarder and there is a daily 8am shuttle bus service from Queen’s pier in Central, priced at HK $170 for round trips. There are special weekend and weekday packages available.

 Accor Hotels was the first international Hotel Company to enter China, so it is no wonder they have a fitting selection of hotels in prime locations around Hong Kong. The Novotel Century Hong Kong is located slap-bang in the middle of Wan Chai and is one of the most accessible - and affordable - hotels in Hong Kong. Having just undergone a recent renovation last year, the hotel comes equipped with all the mod cons (think rainfall showers, innovative lighting and wall-mounted LCD screens) as well as some really slick-looking rooms with harbour-views to match. Being mainly business-orientated, there is wireless broadband available all over the hotel, a comforting ultramodern business lounge and the usual array of boardrooms and conference facilities.

There are 4 main food outlets with a homely Italian restaurant  (Pepino’s Cucina Italiana) and an uplifting bar that overlooks the busy streets of Wan Chai (AK’s lounge). One of the highlights of the hotel is the pool located off from the health club. Surrounded by skyscrapers - yet also sporting poolside palm trees - this really is an urban getaway in the heart of the city. If you crave all the luxurious comforts of a hotel but also want the sights and sounds of Hong Kong at your fingertips, the Novotel Century offers the perfect metropolitan escape.

Possibly one of the nicest spas in Hong Kong, Plateau holds 80,000 whopping square feet of luxury. Offering overnight stays, guests can get pampered first-class in the 23 elegant treatment rooms - some with private bathing pools, saunas and steam rooms. Other facilities include a large range of fitness studios, a 50-metre outdoor pool, and a poolside restaurant. All this is located amongst an idyllic setting, extensively landscaped and planned out - call it natural architecture, if you will. There are fountains, pools, palm tress, and even a waterfall, making this a true Hong Kong oasis. As for the treatments, there is a wide range of therapeutic and grooming services available with 3-hour Thai massages, a multi-vitamin skin renewal package, and even salt and pepper scrub manicures.

Catering to the upscale partier, this is one of the bigger party venues in town. The 8,000 square foot club is divvied up into three spacious areas, with each room radiating its own vibe and music. The entrance martini oval lounge has a dark sexy feel about it with dangling golden chains and a musical focus on hip hop and r&b music. Step on through into the main room and you’ll gravitate towards the long bar, which seats up to 30 people. It’s the ideal place to perch on a barstool and chat to an attractive patron or two whilst enjoying a glass of champagne. The dance floor was definitely the highlight of the club, definitely something to go and experience for yourself. Slick white arches surrounding the circular dance floor house cozy niches, an ideal location to sit and talent spot. For the exhibitionist amongst us, Tribeca comes equipped with a glammed up stage befitting only the most striking of dancers. If this isn’t your scene, try the third late night lounge where the décor embodies sophistication. The dark wood fittings and leather sofas are reminiscent of salons where gentlemen sip their single malts.

The club’s playlist is eclectic but agreeable, with nods to what’s hot on the world’s trendiest dance floors. Drink options are plentiful and the martinis delectable. Nightlife in Hong Kong often lacks variety, but at Tribeca we were spoiled for choice.
