Bela Vista Villa, holiday residences in Hong Kong
Bela Vista Villa is a group of small houses in Spanish style on the island of Cheung Chau in Hong Kong, located near Tung Wan beach. The villas are simply designed and offer views toward the sea and access to the green spaces around the island.
The property became connected to a tragic story, particularly an incident from 1989 involving a woman and her son. Over decades, more than twenty deaths were documented at the site, giving it a somber reputation.
The name Bela Vista comes from Portuguese and means beautiful view, reflecting the Spanish-style villas and their outlook toward the sea. The houses stand in traditional form and shape how the island of Cheung Chau appears to visitors.
The property is located on a quiet island reachable by ferry from Hong Kong and offers a peaceful retreat near the beach. The best time to visit is outside major local festivals, when the island is less crowded.
A small tablet with an image of the God of the Underworld stands near the entrance to calm troubled spirits, according to local belief. Some visitors report seeing strange lights or hearing unexplained sounds at night, though most guests experience a quiet stay.
