5 Hong Kong Pools to Cool Off in the Hot Summer Heat

The summer heat in Hong Kong can be brutal – blazing sun, high humidity, and rain showers are the norm. So, when the temperatures rise and you’re looking for a way to cool down without running the AC full blast, there is nothing like a swim in one of these stunning hongkong pools.

From rooftop and water-level to indoor and lap-ready, these amazing hongkong pools are the perfect place to kick back in the cool waters, take in the view, and unwind. And when it’s time for a drink, just head to the poolside bar and chill with a refreshing cocktail!

Whether you’re marathon-lapping an 18-meter pool first thing in the morning or lounging cabana-style while sipping a cocktail watching the sunset, these gorgeous hotel pools will leave you wanting more.

The only thing better than a pool is a pool with an incredible view. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at the Rosewood Hotel Hong Kong. Located on the sixth floor, this luxurious hotel pool boasts a 25-meter infinity pool and offers guests unbeatable city views from its perch. And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, this is the only pool in the world with two waterslides!

Another great option is the outdoor pool at Kerry Hotel Hong Kong. There are few barriers here, so you can enjoy the unobstructed view of Victoria Harbour from Hung Hom. And when it’s time to cool down, you can lounge by the poolside and order some drinks at Red Sugar, the hotel’s terrace bar.

Located in Ma On Shan, the Pao Yue Kong Swimming Complex is one of the largest in the country. It features a main pool and spectator stands along with a few smaller training and teaching pools as well as a kid’s pool that’s filled with whimsical water installations including mushroom and tree-shaped fountains.

If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, the Bride’s Pool (or 10,000 Feet Waterfall) is a series of crystal clear waterfalls and pools located near Tai Mei Tuk in the New Territories. The popular attraction is accessible via the scenic and kid-friendly Bride’s Pool Nature Trail which is a sweaty but rewarding one-hour hike.

And if you’re not in the mood for a walk, don’t worry, there are also several bus routes that will get you to the pool. Just remember that you’ll need an Octopus card to access public swimming pools, so make sure to pick one up on your next trip!
