Hong Kong Club Membership: Best Private Member Clubs For Families

There are plenty of exclusive, private member clubs in Hong Kong. We’ve found out everything from Hong Kong club membership fees to reciprocal club memberships, facilities for children and more, so you can pick the Hong Kong club that’s perfect for your family!

Private member clubs offer their members a wealth of social, cultural, sporting and dining options. In a cramped city like Hong Kong where space is at a premium, private member clubs often have exclusive and world-class sports facilities, ideal for children to play and learn sports. Not all clubs allow children, however, and not all are welcoming to families in Hong Kong (many are open only to members of one profession, say bankers). We have selected the best private member clubs in Hong Kong that are perfect for family memberships.
