Hong Kong’s searing summer temperatures can make even the most avid traveller less eager to explore its bustling streets (with the exception of one and a half months of delayed winter). To stay cool while exploring this vibrant city, we recommend heading for one of Hong Kong’s many pool with breathtaking views; these include rooftop pools like Hong Kong’s world highest rooftop pool as well as natural infinity ponds that overlook mountainside landscapes that will take your breath away.
Public swimming pools across Hong Kong have reopened after experiencing a decrease in coronavirus cases; however, some remain closed due to staff shortages. Hotel pools provide refreshing respite with some of Hongkong’s most stunning water bodies on offer – here are our favorites:
The Four Seasons Resort features an exquisite pool that will leave a lasting impression, no matter when or why you visit. Their lap pool provides great opportunities for serious swimmers while those seeking relaxation can lounge around on their spacious deck and sip cocktails while nibbling snacks. And for an added bit of luxury in winter months there’s even a heated pool so that swimming your cares away can continue all year long!
Rooftop swimming pools with breathtaking views are nothing new in Hong Kong, but The Ritz-Carlton takes the cake. Equipped with a mirrored ceiling and high-resolution LED wall capable of projecting images like coral reefs, bright blue skies and more onto the walls, their pool offers swimmers an unmatched swimming experience unlike any other in Hong Kong.
Hyatt Centric offers another stunning rooftop pool in North Point for Portier Partner customers to relax and take in some stunning city views. With beautiful blue tiles glinting under sunlight and an on-site bar providing drinks to complete the experience!
Although most Hong Kong pools are only open to guests of respective hotels, they’re certainly worth checking out as day trips! Plus, Klook offers some amazing hotel deals in Hong Kong! So dive right in, swim away your worries, and you may just fall back in love with Hong Kong all over again!
