Hotel and Accommodation

There are plentiful accommodation options on Cheung Chau for those who wish to stay over for a weekend or for a longer period. Cheung Chau has always been a popular place to stay for a short trip but as it is mostly for local Hong Kong people there is more demand for budget accommodations for couples and small groups.

Warwick Hotel

The flagship accommodation on Cheung Chau, the Warwick Hotel was built during the 1980s as a purpose-built six-story hotel designed specifically for the island's unique setting. Located at East Bay, Cheung Chau, this established property sits in a prime position overlooking the pristine Tung Wan Beach, just a 10-minute walk from the ferry pier. With comprehensive facilities including restaurants and a refreshing swimming pool, it provides all the amenities needed for a luxurious stay on this historic fishing island. The hotel's strategic location means guests are just moments away from the beach, with a magnificent stretch of golden sand perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Each room features a private balcony overlooking the sparkling sea, offering breathtaking views of the south side of Hong Kong Island that create unforgettable sunrise and sunset experiences. Modern amenities include complimentary WiFi throughout the property, ensuring guests stay connected while enjoying their island retreat.

On the ground floor is a Chinese restaurant that has great views over the bay and many local residents frequent it as a place to have lunch or a dinner.  Chinese dim-sum is served for lunch though the range of choices does not compare with the restaurants elsewhere in Cheung Chau village. A high floor ocean view room in the hotel is probably the best place to relax and have a view in the evening over the lights of Cheung Chau.  For more information see their website

Budget Accommodation & Vacation Rentals

For travelers seeking affordable accommodation or longer stays, Cheung Chau offers an extensive range of holiday flats and vacation apartments that provide excellent value and authentic local living experiences. These regular village residential units are converted for daily rental, offering visitors the chance to live like locals while exploring the island at their own pace. The most convenient way to secure these accommodations is through the numerous rental kiosks located immediately outside the ferry pier, where friendly staff can help match visitors with suitable options based on group size, budget, and preferred location.

Popular holiday flat developments include Miami Resort, strategically positioned at the north end of Tung Wan Beach for optimal beach access, Fu Kee Horizon Resort (長洲富記度假村) offering resort-style amenities, and various smaller properties like Ho Hau Summer House and Sea View Holiday House providing intimate accommodations with personalized service. These holiday flats range from basic room-only options perfect for budget travelers to more upscale apartments featuring full kitchens, private terraces, and harbor views. While quality varies significantly across different properties, most offer the essential amenities needed for a comfortable stay, and many provide unique features like garden access, rooftop terraces, or proximity to specific beaches and attractions.

The advantage of holiday flats extends beyond cost savings - they offer greater flexibility for meal preparation, longer stays, and the opportunity to experience authentic island living away from tourist hotels. Many are located in quieter residential areas, providing a peaceful retreat while still being within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, and ferry connections. For families, groups, or travelers planning extended stays, these accommodations often provide significantly more space and value compared to traditional hotel rooms, making them an increasingly popular choice among both local Hong Kong residents and international visitors seeking authentic island experiences.

Group Accommodation & Camps

Cheung Chau provides specialized accommodation facilities for educational groups, student organizations, and large parties through its established camp and group housing infrastructure. The Caritas Jockey Club Ming Fai Camp, located at 5 Ming Fai Road, Cheung Chau, serves as the primary facility for organized group stays, offering comprehensive residential programs that combine accommodation with educational activities and outdoor experiences. This well-established facility provides 3-day residential courses, geography field study programs, and experiential learning opportunities that make it particularly popular with local schools and international student groups seeking hands-on environmental and cultural education.

These group facilities cater specifically to educational tourism, offering structured programs that include guided exploration of Cheung Chau's unique ecosystem, cultural heritage sites, and maritime traditions. Many international schools, including Chinese International School and various ESF institutions, regularly utilize these camp facilities for Year 4-6 educational expeditions focused on character development, independence building, and environmental awareness. The camps provide essential group amenities including dining facilities, activity spaces, and dormitory-style accommodations designed to foster teamwork and community building among participants.

These facilities represent an excellent option for organizations seeking structured, educational island experiences that combine learning objectives with the natural beauty and cultural richness of Cheung Chau's historic fishing village environment.

Transportation and Getting Around

One of Cheung Chau's most distinctive features is its car-free environment, where residents and visitors navigate the island primarily using bicycles and motorized scooters. This unique transportation culture creates a peaceful, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere that enhances the island's charm and makes exploration both safe and enjoyable. For visitors staying overnight, understanding local transportation options becomes essential for maximizing your island experience and accessing all the beaches, restaurants, and attractions spread across this historic fishing community.

Bicycle rentals are readily available throughout the island, with numerous shops located on Tai Hing Tai Road offering daily rentals for around HK$50 with refundable deposits ranging from HK$50-500 depending on the shop and bike type. Rental facilities provide adult bicycles, children's bikes including models with training wheels, and even some tuk-tuk style vehicles for those preferring alternative transportation. However, visitors should note that helmets are not typically provided, so bringing your own safety equipment is strongly recommended, especially for families with children.

Popular cycling routes include scenic paths along the harbor to the southeast and northeast areas, offering spectacular coastal views and access to various beaches and cultural sites. While the terrain includes some hills and occasionally requires carrying bikes up stairs, most routes are manageable for recreational cyclists and provide an authentic way to experience the island's diverse landscapes. The bicycle-centric culture makes Cheung Chau particularly appealing to environmentally conscious travelers and families seeking car-free vacation experiences in a safe, controlled island environment.
