Deep Water Bay is a bay and residential area on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. The bay is surrounded by Shouson Hill, Brick Hill, Violet Hill and Middle Island. As per Forbes (July 2015), with 19 of the city's richest billionaires, it is reputed to be the "wealthiest neighborhood on earth".[1]. The neighborhood is bordered on the east by Repulse Bay Road heading to the Island Road roundabout, on the south by Island Road facing toward Middle Island and Deep Water Bay, on the west by Deep Water Bay Road, and on the north by Deep Water Bay Road as it connects back toward Repulse Bay Road.
Beneath Violet Hill is Deep Water Bay Beach, one of many beaches of Hong Kong. The bay is reachable by Island Road, a road connecting Repulse Bay and Wong Chuk Hang.
Deep Water Bay is the landing point for SEA-ME-WE 3, TGN-IA and TVH submarine telecommunications cables.
