With the mercury rising, swimming is one of the best ways to cool off. And with a swathe of public pools to choose from, you’ll never struggle to find the perfect spot for some watery fun. Whether you’re looking to get some laps in or relax with a drink and snack, we’ve rounded up the best pool spots in Hong Kong.
This stunning rooftop pool overlooks the city of Mongkok, giving you the perfect place to take a dip while enjoying an incredible view of Hong Kong Island. It might be a little pricy, but it’s worth it for the perfect day out in the sun.
There are also cabanas available for guests of the hotel if you’re looking to spend some extra cash. The pool is open daily from 6:30am to 10pm, with breaks from 12-1pm and 5:30-7:30pm. You’ll have to make sure you get there early though, so you can nab a cabana and some uninterrupted laps!
The water slides at this hk pool are enough to bring the kids running – even older ones. With four giant slides, including the fastest slide in Hong Kong at 9m high, your tots are guaranteed a great time. And if they’re not too brave to go down the big slides, there’s a round and toddler pool alongside the regular teaching, diving and Olympic pools for them to enjoy.
Located in Sai Kung, this swimming complex has a main pool, two teaching pools and a leisure pool, plus water slides for everyone. Located in a more quiet area than the hustle and bustle of Causeway Bay, it’s an excellent option for a relaxing swim without all the crowds.
The only downside is that they only have a small number of cabanas. But you can always get a seat at the bar for some drinks and snacks! Admission is HK$17 on weekdays and HK$19 on weekends and public holidays. Concession rates are available for students and those aged 60 or above. You’ll want to check the pool’s website for more information, as opening hours vary by day and are subject to change. Some facilities are also closed for cleaning or annual maintenance at certain times of the year, so be sure to check online before you head out!
