If you’re looking to beat the Hong Kong heat, a pool day is a great way to relax and unwind. Luckily, there are plenty of hotel and public pools around the city where you can soak up some sun and cool off with a refreshing dip. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites in this article, from the swanky rooftop infinity pool at Rosewood Hong Kong to the whimsical flamingo-themed pool area at Eaton Hong Kong.
Most public pools are operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and admission is HK$17 per person on weekdays and HK$19 on weekends and public holidays. However, those with disabilities, are over 60 years old, between the ages of 3 – 13, or full-time students will receive discounted rates. Children under three are also free of charge!
With 22 public swimming pools to choose from, finding a pool that’s right for you is no problem. One of our top picks is Kowloon Park’s public pool — this massive complex features outdoor leisure pools with waterfalls, rocks, and footbridges, as well as indoor training pools. It’s a great option for families with kids, with two spacious kiddie pools to keep them entertained while mum and dad get their laps in.
Another great option is Sai Kung’s public pool, which is known for its fantastic views. This beautiful pool has a large leisure pool area with fountains and water slides that are suitable for all ages, so the whole family can spend a day splashing about in their swimwear. They also have an Olympic sized pool for those who want to practice their swimming, and there are lifeguards on hand at all times.
Alternatively, head to the rooftop at Rosewood Hong Kong for some stunning views of Victoria Harbour and the city skyline. The hotel’s infinity pool is the perfect spot to take a dip and laze around with a drink or two, amidst breathtaking scenery. The best part? You can even book a staycation package with Klook and enjoy the rooftop pool at the same time!
