When you think of Hong Kong, shopping and dim sum may come to mind but swimming pools probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. However, the city is actually loaded with scenic pools that you’d be remiss to miss out on! From a natural infinity pool on a mountainside to one of the highest pools in the world, these hongkong pools are worth visiting during your next staycation.

While most of us can only dream about swimming in a private infinity pool overlooking Victoria Harbour, there are some great public pools to visit during your stay in Hong Kong. The Ma On Shan Swimming Complex, for example, offers an indoor and outdoor pool with a view of the Tolo Harbour as well as several training and teaching pools and a toddler’s pool complete with whimsical water installations like mushroom and tree-shaped fountains. The pool is also home to four waterslides, making it a popular spot for families.

Another stunning pool that you should definitely check out is the Kerry Hotel Hong Kong’s rooftop pool. This stylish and modern pool is located in Hung Hom, with barely any barriers to block your view of the surrounding waters, so you’ll feel like you’re right in the middle of Victoria Harbour. The pool is also nearby Red Sugar, Kerry’s famous terrace bar, which makes it the perfect place to hang out after your swim and unwind in a luxury setting. Book a stay at Kerry Hotel on Klook to get access to this stunning pool and more!

If you’re looking for something a little more exotic than a standard pool, head over to the InterContinental Grand Stanford hotel. This stunning resort is home to three infinity pools that will make you feel as if you’re floating right in Victoria Harbour itself! The pool even has a tea deck dining area where you can enjoy a drink while lounging by the water.
