Swimming can be one of the best ways to cool off on a scorching Hong Kong day, and many of the city’s pools provide stunning panoramic views that cannot be beat!

Here are a few of our favourites:

Situated right in Admiralty, this outdoor pool offers spectacular city views as you swim alongside it.

Ritz Carlton Hong Kong offers an indoor pool that matches its contemporary surroundings, situated atop of International Commerce Centre as the highest rooftop pool in town. Floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrored ceilings give an illusion of swimming through clouds while LED walls add the illusion of coral reefs to this exquisite oasis.

If you love outdoor adventures, Sai Kung pool complex offers breathtaking harbour views to make any visit well worth your while. Offering two levels, there is something suitable for every swimmer at this two-level oasis: there is the main pool designed for lap swimming; diving pool for practicing skills; leisure pool designed specifically for children and a Fit Gym next door to help get those muscles pumping!

Attracting inspiration can be hard in Central, with its glittering oasis. Boasting stunning city skyline views, its 25-metre infinity pool offers the ideal setting for lap swimming or simply lounging back with a book and beverage from Asaya Kitchen.

If you’re contemplating installing a pool at home, it’s essential that you carefully choose both a contractor and budget for this investment.
