It’s summer and Hong Kong’s telltale signs are in full force: crowded beaches, overworked air-con units and an almost unbearable humidity. For a refreshing break from the heat, head to a hotel pool with unbeatable views and indulge in some pool staycation fun! From infinity pools overlooking Victoria Harbour to splash zones for kids, these are the best hotel pools in Hong Kong.
If you’re looking for a place to swim and soak up the sun in style, look no further than the outdoor pool at Asaya, part of ultra-luxury hotel Rosewood Hong Kong. This pool is exclusive to hotel guests and offers a relaxing environment from which to view the city’s spectacular skyline, day or night. Plus, you can refuel with a range of snacks and drinks, including Alaskan king crab rolls, strawberry mirlitons, and champagne and cocktails!
The pool is the centrepiece of the Asaya spa, which also features a yoga studio and a rooftop garden. As well as the pool itself, there are several loungers and deckchairs where you can relax, as well as a bar and cafe serving healthy food and drink. If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, you can even book a cabana or daybed, which can be booked online in advance.
Despite a phase-two easing of social distancing rules, it was still impossible to find a lifeguard at some of the city’s public pools on Thursday. The problem is due to a shortage of trained staff, as the number of available lifeguards is currently below half the number needed at each pool. Anson Tang, president of the Hong Kong Government Lifeguards General Union, said that the shortage is the worst in recent years.
Swimming pools are one of the most popular ways to cool off in Hong Kong’s heat, so it’s no surprise that many people want to take advantage of them. However, the city’s public pools are notoriously crowded. In fact, the crowded conditions have led some people to seek alternative pool spaces such as secluded beaches and private pools.
If you’re a fan of swimming in nature, you might want to check out the new Hong Kong Natural Pools at the Wong Tai Sin Reservoir. The pools are designed to mimic natural waterways, and there is no chlorine in the waters. As a result, the water is cleaner and healthier for swimmers.
The new pools are the first of their kind in Hong Kong and are an important step in protecting the environment. Hopefully, they will inspire more people to visit and use public pools in the future. If you’re interested in learning more about HK Natural Pools, you can find information on their website. The site provides updates about the pools and their progress, as well as information on how to join. In addition, it has a forum where users can share their experiences with the new facilities. This is an excellent way to promote the pools and encourage more people to visit them!
