When someone mentions Hong Kong, great shopping and tasty dim sum are probably the first things to come to mind – but fabulous swimming pools are not. That’s a shame because the city does not suffer from a lack of them – from the world’s highest pool to a natural infinity pond on a mountainside, we’ve got it all. Plus public swimming pools, pools in hotels and even pools in member’s clubs (we do love our memberships).
A swim in a beautiful pool is the perfect way to escape the heat of a Hong Kong summer. Whether you’re aiming to swim laps in an indoor pool, soak up the sun on a rooftop deck, or take a dip in the actual ocean – these stunning pools will help you beat the heat and relax.
From an Olympic-sized pool to a water park replete with slides and a lazy river, these 10 fabulous hongkong pools are sure to impress.
With a pink and seafoam green color palette, the rooftop pool area at Eaton Hong Kong looks like it was pulled straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.

A series of gorges with waterfalls, the Bride’s Pool near Tai O is a popular destination for hikers looking to enjoy some nature and cool off at a pool. The trek to the crystal clear waters is a sweaty one, but the views of mountaintops and the sea in the distance make it worth the trip.
