With temperatures reaching highs that defy imagination, nothing beats taking a refreshing dip in one of Hong Kong’s many pools to cool off from the intense summer heat. These swimming spots also make an excellent way to take in some of its most stunning scenes.
Spend an afternoon swimming at the JW Marriott in Admiralty hotel pool and you’ll experience both worlds in one unforgettable swim session. This 25-metre infinity pool provides spectacular views of the city skyline during sunrise or sunset; moreover, its shimmering waters appear magical when sunrise or sunset arrive! Additionally, relax between laps by stopping by their al fresco Fish Bar and Pool Lounge nearby where drinks and snacks can be purchased to re-fuel between laps.
Another highlight is the Island Shangri-La pool, recently renovated and reopened after extensive refurbishment. Here you can purchase day passes to access its pools and spa services; little ones will love splashing around in its children’s water park! Plus if you stay at this luxurious hotel you can use your room key to gain entry directly.
Hyatt Centric in North Point offers another family-friendly pool option with its sparkling outdoor pool and relaxing terrace, featuring stunning cityscape views. Plus, don’t miss a meal at Asaya Kitchen while there!
Try swimming at the W Hong Kong, which features an eye-catching pool surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light while offering breathtaking cityscape views. Take this experience one step further by ordering cocktails at their on-site W Pool Bar; truly unique experience guaranteed.
Only downside of this pool is booking ahead if you want to swim in its glass-bottomed section; otherwise, traditional sections offer great views over the city from above. Rent snorkels and masks to fully immerse yourself in the experience but note this option only opens during certain times of the year (check website prior to visiting! ) since this pool can also serve as an event venue and it is wiser to reserve before your visit!
