From April 11 to 21, The Repulse Bay transforms into an Enchanted Wonderland, blending tradition with luxury. As you explore, you’ll find hidden Easter eggs and rattan-crafted bunnies scattered throughout the complex, which might “egg on” your kids to go on an adventure to find hidden Easter eggs or to paint on egg canvases. Enjoy breakfast or afternoon tea at The Verandah Restaurant, where the chefs have curated classics such as egg benedict and also fun desserts such as a sweet treat that looks exactly like a soft-boiled egg. A portion of the proceeds from all sales will benefit local charity Hong Kong Bunny Rescue. This initiative also offers adoption services for those looking to give a rabbit a forever home. Besides this, kids can pet and cuddle with the rabbits rescued by the NGO in a safe, supervised play pen.
