Hong Kong’s sweltering summer heat can make you want to stay indoors or dip your toes in an ice cold bath. However, a swim in one of these top pools in Hong Kong is an excellent way to beat the heat and get some refreshing exercise. Plus, you’ll be surrounded by some of the city’s best scenery.
Designed by Terry Farrell, this spaceship-like pool complex opened to the public in February along Victoria Harbour. With a lap pool, plunge pool, and whirlpool, there’s something for every swimmer here. Plus, there are lots of lounge chairs and shaded areas to chill out in. You can also grab a bite to eat from the on-site restaurant or shop.
A trip to Hong Kong isn’t complete without a swim in this stunning outdoor pool. The glistening swanky pool overlooks the Hong Kong skyline and is surrounded by lush greenery and water features. Plus, the poolside bar is a great spot to kick back and relax with a cocktail or beer.
This hotel rooftop pool is not only a stunner, but it’s also one of the most accessible in town. This 25 meter-long infinity pool has minimal barriers so you can truly soak up the views of Victoria Harbour from Hung Hom. Plus, the pool is just a short walk from Kerry Hotel’s popular Red Sugar bar. So you can hang out at the pool after your swim and enjoy some drinks and snacks.
If you want to go a step further in your pool staycation, book a room at this luxury hotel and enjoy all the perks that come with it. The Four Seasons has a pool that includes a lap pool, plunge pool, and even underwater speakers so you can enjoy your favorite tunes while swimming. Plus, the pool is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking views of Hong Kong.
Aside from the swanky pool, the Four Seasons also has other amazing amenities that make it a great option for your next family vacation. The property has a kid’s lagoon with a range of interactive attractions including an aqua tunnel, water shooters, and slides, so the little ones can have a blast splashing around while you enjoy some peace and quiet in your own lap pool.
With only 40 per cent of seasonal lifeguards reporting for duty, a full reopening of the city’s beaches and pools is looking unlikely this summer. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department conceded that it would be challenging to recruit enough staff, but they have introduced measures like increasing the salary of seasonal lifeguards and offering two-year contracts to attract them.
