Every Hongkonger knows that Hong Kong’s high-rise city is notoriously hot throughout the year (except for perhaps some months of delayed winter) – so taking a refreshing swim in one of Hong Kong’s breathtaking pools is the ideal way to beat the heat on those scorching days! So here we present some of Hong Kong’s finest pools offering jaw-dropping views so that you can take a refreshing swim surrounded by some of Hong Kong’s finest scenery and still cool off.

Swimming is an effective form of exercise that strengthens muscles and bones while improving cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. But it’s also fun, relaxing and suitable for people of all ages and can help you unwind after a stressful day. As summer is fast approaching, now is an excellent time to enjoy this relaxing activity – here are some public and hotel pools with stunning views where you can go swimming!

JW Marriott in Admiralty features an outdoor heated pool that provides you with breathtaking views of Hong Kong skyline while you soak up the sun. Plus, their al fresco Fish Bar and Pool Lounge provides refreshing refreshment either before or after your swim!

Tsing Yi Public Swimming Pool Complex offers more than just relaxation; they feature plenty of water slides for both kids and adults, a teaching pool, leisure pool, as well as one specifically designed for toddlers – making this complex an excellent place for family swimming fun! So if you’re searching for somewhere family-friendly to go swimming this one’s definitely worth considering.

Though public swimming pools may tempt us to dip our toes in, it’s wise to remember not all are created equal. Many have experienced shortages in lifeguard staffing and it remains unclear when they’ll reopen completely. To avoid any potential risks, we advise only visiting pools staffed with professional lifeguards.

At The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation building on the 37th floor is an amazing infinity pool, which provides breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour. Rest easy knowing it’s regularly cleaned by professional lifeguards!
