7 best hotels with a pool in Xiamen

Hotels with a pool in Xiamen blend resort-style cooling with city convenience, making them an easy base for both sightseeing and downtime. Choose a hotel with a proper swimming pool (ideally heated or available seasonally, with shaded loungers and reliable hours) for a smoother trip in humid summer weather, plus a quieter “back at the hotel” option between harbour walks and museum visits.

For neighbourhoods, Xiamen island’s Siming District is a classic choice: it puts you close to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, a long-established shopping and culture corridor in the city centre. Meanwhile, if your priority is historic charm and coastal views, Gulangyu (Kulangsu)—a UNESCO-listed island off Xiamen—offers a distinct atmosphere and iconic landmarks once you reach the ferry.

Hotels like Intercontinental Xiamen, Andaz Xiamen, Shangri-La Hotel Xiamen, and The Westin Xiamen suit travellers who want polished service and comfortable facilities, including space to unwind by the pool after a full day out. For a more harbour-facing stay, Hualuxe Hotels And Resorts Xiamen Haicang Harbour View aligns with travellers who prefer scenic water views and a modern, waterfront feel. For a heritage-leaning trip, Xiamen Gulangyu Heitan Hotel is well matched to guests seeking Gulangyu’s unique island mood while still enjoying leisure time on-site.
