Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) invites global investors and partners to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for SKYTOPIA’s Yacht Bay, marking another milestone in the Airport City development at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
As one of SKYTOPIA’s core components, the Yacht Bay is set to become Asia’s new premier nautical destination featuring three key water-themed projects: the Airport Bay Marina, Marine Resort, and aquatic entertainment.
Three Pillars of a Premier Nautical Destination
The Airport Bay Marina is Hong Kong’s largest facility of its kind, providing 500 berths for vessels up to 100 metres long. The Marine Resort will comprise a hotel development with direct marina access and a lively promenade dotted with diverse dining and leisure options. The Yacht Bay will also house Hong Kong’s largest aquatic entertainment and water recreation area, hosting a wide range of activities for visitors of all ages.
Sea, Air and Land — Integrated in One Destination
The Yacht Bay enjoys synergy with SKYTOPIA’s offerings in entertainment, art, convention and exhibition, food and beverages, tourism and more. Leveraging its seamless connections with HKIA, SKYTOPIA’s distinctive model of sea-air-land integration enables yacht-to-flight and flight-to-waterfront experiences within one destination. Its strategic location at the centre of the Greater Bay Area will also make it a focal point of bridgehead economic vibrancy.
“SKYTOPIA offers an exceptional scale and prime location for water-themed projects rarely found in established international markets. The launch of this Expression of Interest exercise marks another important milestone in SKYTOPIA’s journey, following the recent signing of a contract to develop a dedicated art storage facility. These developments underscore our commitment to realising SKYTOPIA as a world class destination that integrates air travel with entertainment and waterfront leisure. We invite the global marina, hospitality and investment sectors to contribute innovative ideas and collaborate with us in launching a new chapter of yacht tourism in Asia.”

An Open Invitation to Global Partners
Through the EOI exercise, AAHK is seeking input from leading international partners with expertise in marina development and operations, yacht services, hospitality, tourism and large-scale mixed-use projects, to jointly shape SKYTOPIA as a world class destination. AAHK will invest in the enabling works and infrastructural facilities, such as the piazza and cove-side promenade, to create a vibrant environment for all visitors.
