Hong Kong may not immediately bring to mind beautiful hotel pools when people think of shopping and dim sum. While shopping and dim sum might come to mind first, Hong Kong also boasts many picturesque pools for swimmers to relax in and rejuvenate themselves in. From world-highest pool to Victoria Harbour views – there’s something here for every taste when it comes to rejuvenating pool days!

Relax by the pool with a drink in hand and a stunning view. Here are a few of Hongkong’s finest pools for doing just that.

Kerry Hotel’s pool in Hong Kong stands out as truly exceptional. Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass wall offering spectacular city skyline views, its elegant design boasts mirrored ceilings and LED walls to give an illusion of coral reefs – guests can soak up some sun with laps in the pool before relaxing in Red Sugar Pool Bar to sip drinks while taking in its breathtaking vistas.

No doubt the Ritz Carlton pool is beautiful; but this swimming hole at 118 floors high in the International Commerce Center still makes for an impressive swimming hole. Here guests can unwind poolside with cocktails while taking in breathtaking city skyline views or enjoy relaxation from their private cabana, perhaps even enjoying massage services nearby.

Cordis Hotel’s Wellness Pool stands out from other hotel pools with its cutting-edge sound system and fibre optic underwater lights, making this 42nd floor pool an oasis of relaxation after an exhausting day in Mongkok. Be sure to arrive early so as to get uninterrupted laps, plus take advantage of one of their lounge chairs available.

While it can be tempting to swim at some of Hong Kong’s beautiful pools, beware that swimming in public spaces such as beaches or pools is risky. Unfortunately, due to an absence of lifeguards in Hong Kong many public pools and beaches have been closed this summer due to safety reasons.

To ensure a pleasant and safe swimming experience at Hongkong pools, be sure to visit an established pool or beach with trained lifeguards. Visit their official website for information on upcoming pool openings and closings in your area, subscribe to their newsletter for updates and exclusive deals on admissions/services at top Hongkong pools; just be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and water as this may keep your hydration levels optimal during swimming!
