With the blazing sun and insufferable humidity, there’s no better way to beat the summer heat than jumping into one of Hong Kong’s many awesome public pools. From a glitzy rooftop pool at the Island Shangri-La to super cool water play areas for toddlers, we’ve got them all.

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to swimming pools in Hong Kong, and the best part is that most are only a short ride away. The LCSD pools are open all year round, and are reasonably priced. Admission for adults is $17 on weekdays and $19 on weekends and public holidays. Children under 3 years are free.

If you’re planning to relocate to Hong Kong with the family, consider the availability of hk pools when choosing your new home. Larger developments with multiple towers typically have two pools – one for laps and one where the kids can splash around and burn off energy. Single-tower developments may have only a small outdoor pool, which is still a great place for the kids to meet other local children and cool off.

There are plenty of rooftop pools in Hong Kong, but few that are as spectacular as the one at the uber-luxe Cordis Hotel. Perched high above Mongkok’s bustling streets, the show-stopping pool feels like a private oasis, complete with a sweeping view of the city skyline. Get there early to nab a lounge chair by the water and relax as the day unfolds.

Another stunning indoor pool is the Sai Kung pool, which overlooks the beautiful waterfront in Sai Kung. The pool features an Olympic sized lane pool for practicing your laps, as well as a leisure pool where you can relax and a kid’s pool where they can swirl around on the slides.

Alternatively, visit Tai Po pool for the most epic water slide action in town. This pool is packed during the weekend and has a fantastic selection of waterslides for all ages, as well as an incredible sea view to admire.
