As much as we love a day at the beach, sometimes, it's hard to beat the luxury of plush sun loungers, free flowing refreshments and a sauna or steam to end a perfect day. Enter some of Hong Kong's most beloved five-star hotels, which offer excellent pool day passes so you can enjoy the summer sun in style

1. Grand Hyatt

Pool day pass: HK$550

The luxurious 50 metre pool at Grand Hyatt brings tropical vibes against Central's sea of skyscrapers. Arguably one of the best pool day passes in town, the package also includes access to the hotel's gym and sauna.

After you've worked up an appetite, the famous poolside buffet at The Grill is a welcome treat. Or, on the same floor—but unincluded in the package—is Plateau Spa, where bustling urbanites can choose from 61 indulgent treatments.

Pool day pass: In-house guests only. Staycation, anyone?

Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong has several pools, including a plunge pool and a whirlpool, but the pièce de résistance is without a doubt the hotel's famous infinity pool with panoramic views over Victoria Harbour.

The spacious and stylish deck offers a resort feel, while underwater music sets the tone for a relaxing swim.

3. Island Shangri-la

Pool day pass: HK$650 on weekdays, HK$800 on weekends

This lush oasis surrounded by some of Hong Kong's most iconic skyscrapers is a more family-friendly option, allowing each guest to bring two children under the age of 12 for free. If you're leaving the little ones at home, make a full wellness day of it with access to the gym, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, and steam facilities.

Pair all this with a cheeky tequila or rum based tropical cocktail from the Waterside Pool Bar, and that's a summer day well spent.

Located in the heart of Admiralty, the pool package at Conrad Hong Kong is one to impress. You can opt for a pass for just pool access, steam and sauna, or pay a little extra for access to their fully equipped gym.

Make sure to secure one their California-chic poolside cabanas, which make for a comfortable spot to enjoy the sun while protecting you from harmful rays. And one thing we love about the pool at Conrad Hong Kong? The regular flow of complimentary poolside snacks and drinks.
