Anacapri Villas are now available for rent

Asking prices for Anacapri are apparently from 50K and upwards. A number of agents have shown the apartments to prospective tenants, only to have some decide to move to a Park Island tower apartment, which was not the initial intention of the prospective tenants when they came for a viewing.

If you are an Anacapri tenant, or owner, please feel free to post here and tell us what its like!

    Recently taken possession of a 4 br unit facing the ferry. Quality is top class and very quiet. Walkway on the podium level has a luxury feel too! Should be very attractive to other expats.

    Does Anacapri have a new small clubhouse? If yes, is that clubhouse only for Anacapri residents not regular Park Island residents?

    From my apartment (Block 31) I can see some pool (relatively small compared to the other PI ones), but I just see workers not any residents there. Also the pool water is a greenish color right now.

    Lovely sea views and excellent build quality. Equipment also top rate. Very attractive to expats looking for peace and quiet with great quality. Space is generous too.

    Holy shit, the index just publihed today says property is moving back up, with Park Island up around 3%. Still down a but from last few weeks but it might be that now is the turning point for the next climb!

    Do you need to broadcast every little price movement here? So what a little up or down. Unless you can afford the deposit who cares? Gloat all you want if you own as it was probably family money that got you on the ladder if u r local.

    The more important point is that PI is still of excellent value compared with other developments. Still the best kept secret. Prices move up and down but PI still looks good even if it is 10% more expensive!

      I agree. It's long amazed me how "unknown" Park Island is, considering how nice it is there. To me it seems to be extremely good value for money.

    50K and upwards I would think.

    We have just moved into an apartment at Ana Capri and absolutely love it - apart from the amazingly stupid decision to not allow anyone to use the pool! Because of worries of noise, no-one can actually use the pool - you can only 'book' it for £3000 a time. This seems a huge waste of what is an amazing pool, seemingly at the behest of a few selfish residents. Management claim this is an experiment for a year but I think if more people knew surely they would object and hopefully reverse this policy.

    Thanks for the comments Plumbeus. Glad you are enjoying Ana Capri. Any pics you can send? My email is ParkIslandProperty@gmail.com

    Regarding the pool fee on Anacapri, I presume you mean HKD $3000, but either way, this sounds crazy! What on earth are they thinking? This is also arguably misleading if it was not pointed out to original buyers and/or tenants, so I would think such people might have a possible basis for complaint or legal action on this.

    I can understand the charge for outsiders, but not for actual Anacapri residents. So does it essentially mean that if you live at Anacapri, you need to walk over to one of the other Park Island pools? I presume you have access to all those?

    PS, for reference, can you tell us your size of unit and the rent you pay?

    Also, any updates on carparks there for residents? Is that something that is in the pipeline for the future?

    I've been considering the Anacapri also but ideally prefer a large size or top level rooftop apartment although they are hard to come by at present.

    Anon, you should also consider the combined units (2 units combined with a balcony), which might also suit your needs and at lower price probably.

Pool facilities on Park Island

Image
My favorite pool on Park Island is the outdoor pool at the Blue Blue Club. Blue Blue Club Outdoor Pool Right now, as things warm up, one thing I enjoy is eating a meal overlooking the pool, and then having a relaxing swim, followed by relaxation the jacuzzie. I usually swim 2 to 3 times a week, and I find it a great form of exercise. One thing I really like about Park Island is that apart being surrounded by ocean (where you can swim if you wish) there are a large number of resort-style pools to chose from on the island. The Blue Blue club has the outdoor pool (pictured above) and an excellent Olympic style indoor pool (pictured below), also with 3 jacuzzie (one large mixed-sex one, and then one each in the mens and ladies rooms, along with steam saunas, dry saunas, etc). Blue Blue Club Indoor Pool The other pools are located at the Green Green Club house, in the middle of the Park Island (again with communal jacizzie), and also a huge outdoor pool near the Phase 5 apartments...

When will private cars be allowed on Park Island?

As promised, here is an update on the discussions I have had with the Hong Kong Planning Department and the Hong Kong Transport Department. First, below is the actual response I received in relation to submissions and inquiries related to allowing access and car parking for private cars for Park Island residents.  This office has consulted Transport Department on your proposal. T his email serves as a coordinated reply by Planning Department and Transport Department. The construction of the Airport Core Projects had impacts on the planning for Ma Wan. The Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok is about 12km to the west. The Lantau Link, which is the major transport link between Lantau and the urban area, passes over Ma Wan. Ma Wan is located at a prominent location along the Tsing Ma and Lantau transport corridor and subject to traffic capacity and infrastructure constraints.

Green Green Club on Park Island

Image
Park Island has a number of club houses across the Estate. All residents can use any of the club facilities. Normally I hang out at the Blue Blue club, as I like the outdoor pool with the infinity effect overlooking the ocean, but I recently went to the Green Green club for a change, and took a look around. Here are my pics, in no particular order: -The club house has lots of activities for kids (and adults posted). Here is a snapshot of one of several pages of current activities. Park Island Activities for Residents Childrens' activities on Park Island -The Green Green club has a number of insulated music rooms, some with pianos and others empty. This is a GREAT idea for people (and children) who wish to practice music without disturbing neighbours. Its also a good idea for anyone who likes to play the piano, but does not want one taking up space in their apartment! Park Island Music Room -At the center of the club house there is a nice open roof "zoo". See...
