Romantic date ideas for travellers to Hong Kong

If you’re looking to be even closer to nature, pack your swimming gear and head over to Pui O Beach for a light swim, followed by a meal at Treasure Island Beach Club. A popular one-stop shop for beachgoers, visitors can kick back and listen to the sound of the waves while enjoying a Western menu of seasonal favourites along with vegetarian and vegan offerings. Splurge on the free-flow drinks package for unlimited non-alcoholic coolers, beer, wine, and prosecco. 

End your art crawl at Tai Kwun, an old revitalised police station-turned-art hub, and rest your feet at Old Bailey. Serving a wide range of authentic Jiangnan food as well as decadent Shanghainese dim sum, this elegantly designed restaurant also has an outdoor lounge area ideal for an intimate evening of alfresco drinking under the stars. If you’re in the mood for lobster tail and roast beef, give British restaurant Statement a try, or opt for a meal at chef David Thompson’s Thai restaurant Aaharn to wrap up your romantic adventures on day one with a touch of spice. 

Kick start your day with one of Hong Kong’s best urban hikes, Dragon’s Back. Depending on your pace, the average hiking time ranges from two and a half to four hours, with the trail starting on Shek O Road and ending at Big Wave Bay. Along the trail, you’ll be able to catch stunning views of southern Hong Kong Island, including the Shek O golf course, beaches, and other outlying islands. Stop at Shek O Peninsula Viewing Point for an Insta-worthy couple’s selfie with Shek O Beach as backdrop.

Having filled your tummies, it’s time to pamper your sore muscles with a couple’s massage at the renowned Plateau Spa in Grand Hyatt, Wan Chai. An urban oasis offering a plethora of spa promotions and packages, you’ll be spoilt for choice with lush treatments that include top-of-the-line products that will revive your body and make your skin glow. If you happen to be in town for your sweetheart’s special day, the Birthday Delight package, which includes a 90-minute massage, a glass of wine or juice, and personalised gifts, makes for the perfect gift.

Complete your evening with a naughty carb-fest at Ichiran in Causeway Bay, or visit their Tsim Sha Tsui location if you’re staying on the Kowloon side. The hearty Tonkotsu ramen makes for a satisfying roundup of your adventures in Hong Kong. Don’t worry if you get carried away with your conversation: the restaurant is open 24 hours a day, so you can take your time reminiscing about your trip with your special someone.
