A sweltering summer in Hong Kong can send anyone running for the nearest ice-cold drink or bath. But to really cool off, why not take a dip in one of the city’s top pools surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenes around? We’ve rounded up our top picks for swimming pools in Hong Kong that have the most beautiful views, perfect for a relaxing day or evening swim.
The swanky pool at Four Seasons Hong Kong is the perfect spot to relax and soak up the city skyline. Located on the sixth floor, the heated infinity pool offers spectacular views of the iconic Victoria Harbour and Kowloon skyline, while also providing guests with a spacious area for lounging and swimming laps. Those who are looking for some serious water fun can head to the pool’s whirlpool or the Jacuzzi, and those in need of a workout can work up a sweat at the separate 20-meter lap pool.
This hotel pool is as luxe as it gets, and we’re not just talking about the swanky view. The dazzling blue infinity pool is the perfect spot to kick-start your morning with a few laps, while the rooftop bar is an ideal place to unwind with a cocktail or two. And for the kids, there’s a dedicated children’s pool complete with whimsical waterslides that are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
Another hotel in the heart of the city, this beautiful pool is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. This rooftop pool is home to a stunning infinity pool and jacuzzi, both with breathtaking views of the city and beyond, as well as a bar where you can order a refreshing cocktail or a bite to eat. The pool is open to non-hotel guests for a small entry fee, but we recommend booking ahead to avoid the crowds.
With a rooftop terrace and stunning view, this is an ideal pool for enjoying the sun, with plenty of space to lounge on deck chairs or have a meal under the stars. The large infinity pool is great for a lazy afternoon, while the rooftop bar and restaurant are the perfect place to enjoy a delicious lunch or a sunset cocktail.
With the recent loosening of restrictions on travel to mainland China, Hong Kong has seen a dramatic drop in coronavirus cases, and new infections have dropped to low single or double digits, with almost no reported deaths. In addition to the reduction in new cases, local hospitals have also been able to reduce their admissions and outpatient beds.
