If a relaxing swim is on your Hong Kong itinerary, these beautiful pools are a must. From rooftop pools with spectacular views to tranquil hotel pools, you’ll want to get your float on at these stunning venues.
Swimming in a pool is a great way to burn calories, relieve stress and stay fit. But the experience is even better when you can do so with a gorgeous view of Hong Kong’s city skyline or calm waters of Victoria Harbour. Here are the top 10 hongkong pools that are worth your time.
With a stunning backdrop of the Hong Kong skyline, the glistening infinity pool at Cordis Hotel offers a tranquil respite for guests. But if you’re not staying at the hotel, there’s no need to fret — the pool is open to the public, too!
If you’re looking for a pool that will truly take your Instagram game to the next level, look no further than this one. The pool is set within a glass bottom, allowing swimmers to enjoy the scenery without missing a beat. It’s no wonder this pool has been featured in countless Instagram posts.
A popular attraction in the Kwun Tong area, this pool features a series of outdoor and indoor pools. The kids’ swimming pool is especially fun, with small slides, water guns and fountains. You can also find a few animals to climb on at the Jordan Valley pool.
While the pool is small compared to those found in other hotels, it’s still an Instagram-worthy spot that you won’t want to miss out on! Not only does it overlook the Victoria Harbor, but there are a few lap pools and a jacuzzi nearby for added convenience.
The hotel’s gorgeous infinity pool offers incredible views of Victoria Harbor and Kowloon. What’s more, the hotel pipes in underwater music for a surreal (or annoying, depending on your taste) swimming experience.
This secluded natural pool has been featured in numerous Hong Kong movies and TV shows. It’s located in the mountains near Tai O and can be reached by hiking the Bride’s Pool Nature Trail, a kid-friendly hike with scenic mountaintop views.
While Hong Kong’s water quality is top notch, there are many concerns over the cleanliness of its public beaches and pools. In recent years, the number of LCSD pools that closed due to sewage contamination with vomit and feces has risen, causing frustration among swimmers and the local community.
Aside from sewage pollution, the water quality of public pools is often affected by high humidity and overcrowding. However, the government has been taking steps to improve the situation by increasing the number of lifeguards and introducing more progressive measures, such as offering two-year full-time contracts with better benefits. Despite these efforts, the leisure authorities have said that it is unlikely for all public pools to be fully reopened this year. In the meantime, the public is encouraged to visit nearby private beaches and swimming clubs to stay safe.
