Hong Kong summers can be excruciatingly hot, making a swim the ideal solution. From taking laps at one of Hong Kong’s premier pools to sipping cocktails at its skyline-facing pool bar – there’s something here for everyone.
Swimming in Hong Kong has many advantages, and one of them is being able to do it just about anywhere! Plus, you’ll find many beautiful hotel rooftop pools which will make you feel as though you’re right in Victoria Harbour itself!
At Hong Kong hotel pools are truly unforgettable experiences; however, public pools also provide some fantastic alternatives that are less costly and usually less crowded – ideal for families traveling with young children.
Public pools provide more than convenience; many offer an array of facilities designed to make your experience at the pool even more enjoyable, like slides, whirlpools and jacuzzis! Furthermore, some even feature snack and drink kiosks so you can grab something to snack on while frolicking around in the water.
Poolside hangouts provide much-needed relaxation, but the true magic lies in meeting new people and making friends! Just follow basic pool etiquette rules: swim on the left side of the lane, keep an eye out for slower swimmers and allow faster ones to pass you if they pass faster; you’ll thank yourself later when enjoying an enjoyable day at the pool!
Another fantastic reason to visit a pool is taking in stunning scenery from the water. Attractions such as Victoria Peak and Hong Kong Observatory can be easily observed from here, or take a stroll along Victoria Harbour shoreline or discover historic piers of Hong Kong.
If you’re in Hong Kong and searching for an Instagrammable pool scene, visit the W Hotel Wet Pool on the 76th floor of their hotel – its prime position offers spectacular views of its towering skyscrapers!

Hong Kong also boasts some luxurious swimming pools open to non-hotel guests. K11 Artus Hong Kong features an exotic outdoor pool made of turquoise Balinese stone, conveniently situated next to its own pool bar. However, expect to pay slightly extra as hotel-branded pools typically require either booking a spa package or spending hundreds on day passes in order to be open.
