The Best Hong Kong Pools For You and the Kids

When we think of Hong Kong, shopping and dim sum are often the first things that come to mind, but it turns out that this super cool city is also home to some truly breathtaking pools. From the world’s highest pool in the sky, to a natural infinity pond on a mountainside, Hong Kong has a whole host of incredible swimming spots.

So if you’re looking for an exciting new way to beat the heat, here are our picks of the best hk pools for you and the kids.

Located in the heart of Wan Chai, Morrison Hill Swimming Pool is one of our fave family-friendly spots to hit the water. Their huge outdoor pool has a whole host of fab facilities including water slides, fountains and even a pirate ship to play on! The pool is packed during the weekdays and weekends but they have an amazing toddler pool for those under 10 too.

The only downside to this fab family pool is that it closes on Mondays. If you’re in the mood for something a little more tropical then head to Hammer Hill Road Public Pool instead. This awesome destination pool is a hit with kids of all ages – it’s a water park in its own right! They have a pirate ship with water cannons, a slew of waterslides and fountains plus a whole host of other fun activities to keep your little ones entertained for hours.

There are a number of different types of pools out there for you and your family to enjoy, so it’s important to decide which one is the best fit for your needs. You can get a concrete, vinyl liner or fiberglass pool and each has its own pros and cons. For example, a fiberglass pool can be more expensive to buy than a concrete one but it will be cheaper to operate in the long run. It costs around 6 hours to fill a fiberglass pool, compared to 15 or more for a bigger concrete one, so it’s important to take this into consideration when making your decision.

Another important factor to consider is whether or not you want to swim with other people. Some pools are only open for laps while others have designated leisure areas and toddler pools for families to spend the day. You can also find out if there are any coronavirus restrictions at individual pools by checking on their websites before you head there.
