Top 5 Hong Kong Pools
When people think about Hong Kong, they usually think of shopping and dim sum, not swimming pools. But it turns out that the city is packed with picturesque spots where locals and visitors alike can take a dip and cool off. From the world’s highest pool to a natural infinity pond on a mountainside, here are some of Hong Kong’s best swimming spots.
If you’re looking for a place to swim with a view, look no further than the rooftop pool at the W Hong Kong. Complete with lounge chairs and a bar, the infinity pool is surrounded by stunning views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline. Plus, it’s open to anyone — not just hotel guests!
One of the most popular public pools in the city, this enormous complex is great for families. It’s located inside a large park and features two main pools, two teaching pools, a diving pool, a toddler pool and more. There are also plenty of sun loungers and family changing rooms, too. Admission is HK$17 during the week and HK$19 on weekends (and public holidays).
This gorgeous pool may be small, but it’s certainly got style. The water is heated to 30°C, and the glass walls and ceilings make the whole thing feel like a fish tank. There are also a few seats on the edge of the pool where you can relax while the kids splash around in the shallow end.
Another pool that’s sure to impress your out-of-town guests, this is a gorgeous spot in the heart of the financial district. The pool is covered in glass and surrounded by greenery, making it a perfect place to unwind after a long day at work. The pool also has a hot tub and is open to hotel guests and the general public.
Located in the swanky Victoria Park, this is a much-loved recreational hub for locals. It’s especially popular for the many throngs of parents with kids who flock here to spend an afternoon by the pool. The large pool is divided into two sections, with one aimed at older swimmers and the other at younger children. There are also a few slides and other fun things for the little ones to do.
This is a beautiful outdoor pool with an amazing view of Victoria Peak, and it’s a great option for a sunny day out. It’s a bit of a hike up to get here from the city centre, but it’s well worth it. The pool is surrounded by trees and flowers, and the clear waters are a sight to behold. It’s a bit of splurge, but it’s definitely worth it for the spectacular scenery and serene atmosphere. The pool is open to the public from 6:30am-12:00 and 1:00-6:00. You can find out more details on the pool’s website.
