If you are thinking about moving to Hong Kong you might want to consider if the area you are looking at has a swimming pool, especially if you have children. Larger developments with multiple towers will usually have a large outdoor pool and smaller indoor pools. Smaller single tower developments may only have an outdoor pool but still offer a fun place for children to splash around, meet other kids and burn off energy.
Some of the best hk pools offer amazing views over Victoria Harbour, or even more stunning ones are found at rooftop hotels. The Intercontinental Grand Stanford is one of them, and it offers three infinity pools that will make you feel like you are dipping into the actual harbour. There is also a tea deck dining area, as well as a whirlpool, for you to relax by the water. This hotel is usually reserved for its guests, but they do open it to the public every weekend during their summer events.

Those who prefer a more thrilling pool experience might enjoy Hotel Indigo’s rooftop pool. This pool is located on the 29th floor and has a cool glass bottom at its edge, so you will be swimming directly above Wan Chai’s busy streets!
Another hotel with an impressive rooftop pool is the Harbour Grand Kowloon. It has a unique infinity pool that overlooks the spectacular Victoria Harbour and the city skyline. The pool is a great place to take some morning laps for some exercise, or to just relax and unwind after a long day in the city. The hotel is also home to a rooftop bar and lounge, where you can grab a drink, and dine on some delicious snacks!
Currently, some of the city’s public pools are closed due to a shortage of lifeguards. The union representing leisure and sports professionals has warned that a full reopening of all public beaches and swimming pools is unlikely to happen this summer. The union has said that nearly half of the city’s 45 public pools have already told swimming clubs to close lanes and facilities reserved for classes.
If you are a visitor, do not worry! You can always find a great pool in any of the hotels with amazing views over Victoria Harbour. In addition, the city’s famous parks are a great place to go for a swim as well. Just keep in mind that you might have to pay for a ticket if you are visiting from outside of Hong Kong. The entry fee is typically 20 dollars, and you can enter the pools from 5:00 am until 10:00 pm. You can also find some great deals for hotels with a rooftop pool on Klook.
