Thursday 22 – Tuesday 27 October 2026
I am so excited about this fabulous trip to Hong Kong – curated by my Hong Kong expat bestie Raili of Last Minute Luxury, this is a luxe experience that will take you from sipping champagne on an elegant red-sailed junk on Victoria Harbour to free-flow Veuve Cliquot at Aqua’s iconic Japanese and Italian brunch overlooking the city, an evening dining at the exclusive China Club through to a delicious sunset dinner at Lamma Island’s waterfront Terracotta restaurant…and there’s so much more because we like to explore local as well as being luxe.
Eat dumplings, egg tarts and dim sum and ride the Ding Ding trams through the city, hike around The Peak for stunning views over the city and take the beloved tram back to the city, crisscross the Harbour on the Star Ferry and pop over into China to shop til you drop at Shenzen. We will head out to catch the cable car to Lantau Island and visit the Giant Buddha and have lunch in the pink room at the beautiful Madame Fu.
We are staying at the stunning Hari Hong Kong which is the only way to do it when you’re visiting the Pearl of the Orient! Because after a long day of being fabulous it’s important to return home to fancy quarters.

.Raili and I have worked hard to create a fabulously luxe itinerary that will have you packing your fancy dresses and getting ready for the ball!
This trip really is for everyone – come alone, come with friends, come with your mum or daughter or sister. I just want to make you have the best fun in this incredible city so you go home with memories to last you until your next trip.
I am so thrilled to be sharing such an incredible Hong Kong experience with you. We will visit the giant Buddha on Launtau Island, try fabulous dimsum, pineapple tarts and yum cha and we will even travel in China to shop shop shop. My Shenzen trip transformed me and Raili knows all the best places to shop at for handbags, glasses, prescription glasses, clothes, scarves and more. I can’t wait to get back!
I’ve been craving a city trip for so long – a holiday where I could dress up and feel fabulous and live the life I know I deserve! Well, champagne on a red-sailed junk on Victoria Harbour gazing up at the city’s incredible skyline certainly made me feel like that, and the vibe of Hong Kong is just so special – you feel it as you trundle along on the Ding Ding Trams or cross the harbour on the Star Ferry. It’s everywhere!
I know as we get older sometimes it can be hard to find friends to travel with – and this is why my trips are so important: they connect us all to new friends, lots of laughs and enduring friendships. They make us feel good again, alive. HAPPY!
I want this for you and I hope you can join me.

The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.
Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we’re arriving prior to normal check-in time.
