Hong Kong may conjure images of shopping and dim sum, not swimming pools – yet this city boasts plenty. From world’s highest pool to natural infinity ponds on mountain sides, here are Hong Kong’s best public and hotel pools for cooling off this summer.

The Ritz-Carlton pool in Hong Kong is not only stunningly beautiful, it is also the world’s highest. Situated on the 118th floor of the International Commerce Center, its unique setting creates the illusion of swimming through clouds with floor to ceiling windows, mirrored ceilings and LED walls presenting an ocean-like illusion – an absolute must see when visiting Hong Kong!

Hong Kong can be an intense city, making it difficult to find an outdoor swimming spot with stunning water and views. At Kennedy Town Swimming Pool in Victoria Harbour you can swim in an unrestricted, modern outdoor pool that allows for stunning vistas across Victoria Harbour. Although its construction took eight years to reach fruition, its rewards speak for themselves.

Kerry Hotel’s 25-meter rooftop pool offers stunning Victoria Harbour views as the perfect setting for chic swimming fun. Designed with a sleek purple ceiling that exudes celestial flair, and with its pool bar conveniently nearby for drinks or snacks.

While most of the city’s premier pools can be found inside clubs, a few standouts provide unparalleled urban escapes. Clearwater Bay Pool stands out as an example, featuring benches reserved exclusively for domestic helpers who must wear red wristbands to prove they are members. Other club rules include not walking through restaurants and waiting in designated areas while registering with security each time they visit.

However, some club members find it unfair that domestic helpers cannot access all facilities of a club. Clubs argue they do this to protect guests’ safety and prevent overcrowding.

Hong Kong boasts its own collection of stunning outdoor pools, but none can rival those found at top hotels. One such option is W Hotel’s 76th-floor pool that provides breathtaking views over Hong Kong’s skyscrapers while featuring stylish painted walls.

No better way to unwind and recharge than taking a dip in an idyllic pool. Klook offers an extensive selection of Hongkong hotels with pools – urban retreats, family vacation spots and adults-only retreats alike! Simply choose your dates of travel and book your staycation. Don’t forget extra amenities such as spa services or meal credits to enhance the vacation experience further!
