Cool Down With These 6 Outdoor Pools Open Right Now

ShanghaiWOWeng 2018-11-29

In case you're totally insane and haven't noticed, it's getting really hot outside. Don't sweat it though, here are six outdoor pools you can go jump into to cool off and relax. 


JW Marriott



Address: 399 Nanjing Xi Lu, near Huangpi Bei Lu, People's Square

Hours:Daily, 10am-7pm

How much: RMB 280 (adults) | RMB 150 (children)

 

The closest pool to People's Square is at JW Marriott; a high-end spot that's a bit too shallow for a proper swim (especially for a dive), but still works perfectly for a splash around and to cool yourself off. There are two pools to choose from, but no lifeguards, so be careful if you're bringing kids. 


Purple Mountain Hotel



Address: 788 Dongfang Lu, near Zhangyang Lu, Pudong New District

Hours:Daily, 7am-10pm

How much: RMB 100 all day


The remote location of this swimming pool in the Purple Mountain Hotel makes it the perfect place to take a quiet and relaxing dip. There are two gemstones pools on the rooftop garden, the adult one is 3 m deep, while the adjacent pool for kids is 1.5 m. As for other amenities, all guests can use the hotel's room service. Although the pool is only five floors up, it still offers a panoramic view of the Pudong skyline. It's also compulsory to wear a swimming cap.

 

New World Shanghai Hotel



Address: 1555 Dingxi Lu, near Changning Lu, Changning District

Hours:Daily, 8am-9pm

How much: RMB 300 all day

 

Right across the road from Zhongshan Park and on the 15th floor is the outdoor pool of the New World Shanghai Hotel. This place isn’t too crowded (probably because of the price), and the panoramic view makes it one of the most spectacular swimming spots in the city. The RMB 300 entrance fee also gets you access to the sauna, gym and other facilities. You get what you pay for here.


Sofitel Shanghai Sheshan Oriental



Address: 3388 Sichen Lu, Sijing Town, Songjiang District

Hours: Daily, 8am-7pm

How much: RMB 250


With 4,400 square meters of outdoor swimming space, the pool in Sheshan Oriental is the perfect place to get your luxury soak on. Ok, so it's a bit far from downtown and it's not cheap, but they have a really great brunch buffet on weekends with boozy free-flows.  


Le Meridien Sheshan Shanghai



Address: 1288 Linyinxin Lu, near Shenzhuanjiasong Lu, Songjiang District

Hours:Daily, 6:30am-10pm

How much: RMB 200 (weekdays) | RMB 300 (weekends, holidays)


There is an outdoor infinity and lap pool at Le Meridien Sheshan, all overlooking the lake and providing a picturesque view in a tranquil setting. They also have a man-made beach with volleyball nets.


Radisson Blu Hotel



Address: 1199 Yingchun Lu, near Fangdian Lu, Pudong New Area

Hours: Daily, 6am-10pm

How much: RMB 80 (2 hours)


This is another recommended escape from the unbearable summer heat at the Radisson Blu Hotel, which is also open to non-residents. There is a lounge area, small swimming pool for kids, and a lifeguard overseeing the area. It's compulsory to wear a cap though.
