Hong Kong summers are notoriously hot, but that doesn’t have to be an endless source of discomfort! There are plenty of ways you can beat the heat and have an enjoyable season – from relaxing in a natural hot spring pool, dining at new restaurants and cooling off at one of Hong Kong’s many unique pools!
With its breathtaking city view, this pool is an absolute must. Its innovative design was intended to minimize sunlight glare while still allowing ample natural light in. Zinc was used in construction for reduced glare and consistent color. Birdair supplied their translucent insulated tensile membrane roof design that features an aerogel blanket (R-value 4.90; U-value 1.16).
This complex of pools features not only its main pool but also training and teaching pools as well as a toddlers’ pool complete with whimsical water installations like mushroom and tree-shaped fountains. There are four waterslides, including two of Hong Kong’s fastest! Non-hotel guests are welcome at these open day passes that cost $500 during weekdays and $700 on weekends; should you stay until sunset be sure to stop by Red Sugar Restaurant next door for free-flow drinks and tapas!
Though public pools across the city have slowly been opening again this year, many are facing difficulties due to lifeguard shortages. Swimming clubs have cancelled classes as a result and this issue appears likely to persist throughout summer. Pool operators have been encouraged by government authorities to hire as many lifeguards as possible in order to maintain safe operation; it remains unknown when this problem will be solved.
Hotel Indigo’s rooftop pool located on the 29th floor is sure to deliver an exhilarating swim experience! Situated directly at the edge of its modern structure, if you look down from your place in the water you will be swimming above Hong Kong streets – great opportunity for Instagram photos!
Built as the city’s inaugural public swimming pool in the 1940s, Victoria Harbour’s impressive facility stands as a testament to this city’s impressive aquatic offerings. Situated along Victoria Harbour with views across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula, its facilities include lap and training pools divided between them with four waterslides–two of them among Hong Kong’s fastest. A water playground and snack bar complete its offerings while home for Hong Kong Swimming Club which hosts local and international swimmers who compete with each other for competition and training programs.
