Whether you’re looking to swim laps or simply take a dip, there are plenty of hk pools around to meet your needs. From the swanky hotel rooftop pools to more intimate public options, there’s a pool for everyone in Hong Kong. Some are exclusive to guests, while others have price tags that can quickly add up. With all that in mind, here are some of the best hk pools to try out.
Located at the seafront of Ma On Shan, this spacious complex is home to many different pools and even a few waterslides. Amongst them is the main pool along with spectator stands that hold 1,200 viewers, a few smaller training and teaching pools, as well as two kid-friendly pools with whimsical water installations like mushroom and tree-shaped fountains. There are also four waterslides, including the two highest ones which stand at nine metres and are said to be the fastest in Hong Kong.
The first of its kind, this unique swimming pool is designed with sustainability in mind. The structure is surrounded by a translucent insulated tensile membrane (Tensotherm), a Birdair sister company, that minimizes glare and keeps the pool warm. It’s also the first pool in Asia to use a high-tech air conditioning system and an air-filtration unit. The water is pumped directly from the sea to ensure maximum freshness. The complex is surprisingly affordable in comparison to other pools in the area. Lockers and entry fees can be paid with Octopus cards. It’s also one of the only places in Hong Kong where you can sign up for private swimming lessons.
This pool is a must-see for anyone who’s an avid swimmer and wants to experience a unique outdoor space in the city. The pool is a bit on the small side, but it makes up for that with a relaxing atmosphere and stunning views of Victoria Harbour. There’s also a bar with drinks, snacks, and ice cream to enjoy while you’re there.
This pool is the most popular amongst tourists and locals alike, as it’s known for being one of the most scenic in town. The glistening blue water reflects off the surrounding skyscrapers and mountains, making it an absolute sight to see. While there are some people who complain about the crowds, the vast majority of visitors enjoy their time here as it’s a great way to escape from the bustling city centre. Plus, the prices are relatively cheap compared to other pools in Hong Kong. However, you should note that this pool is only open to hotel guests during certain hours. Otherwise, you’ll need to purchase a day pass to enter. That said, it’s definitely worth the price to enjoy this beautiful pool.
