While we often journey to a destination to experience the local culture and activities, it is always nice to have the option to relax at your hotel. A fabulous pool to lounge in is one of the best amenities a hotel can offer. Here are a few of the most beautiful hotel pools in the world.
Heritance Kandalama Hotel
The Kachchan infinity pool at the Heritance Kandalama Hotel blends into the view of Kandalama lake. This exceptional pool was designed by architect Geoffrey Bawa. In the evenings, you can relax poolside or go for a swim while enjoying local music performed by traditional musicians. The hotel also offers two other pools in addition to the infinity pool, giving you multiple options during your stay.
InterContinental Hong Kong
The InterContinental Hotel, located in Hong Kong, has three hot tubs in addition to the infinity pool. The view from the infinity spa pools, which overlooks Victoria Harbor, is unparalleled. Feel like you are floating in the harbor as you take in the views of the Hong Kong skyline.
W Miami Hotel
Another example of a pool with an incredible vantage point is the Wet Deck at W Miami Hotel. In addition to being a hot nightspot, hotel guests can enjoy incredible views of the city from the private pool. Enjoy the hottest DJs and an exceptional view of the city while swimming and playing.
Nice Palais de la Mediterranee
The Palais de la Mediterranee in the coastal city of Nice, France, offers guests an indoor and an outdoor pool to choose from. The outdoor pool is ideal in the summer, where you can enjoy a view of the Bay of Angels. The terrace is open in the summer and visitors can spend the day swimming, dining and drinking while enjoying the panorama. The indoor pool is covered and heated so that during the cooler months you can still swim and take in the beautiful vista.
Hotel Villa Mahal
Infinity pools are designed to create an optical illusion, and the 55 foot long pool at Hotel Villa Mahal does just that. Visitors get the impression that the water is flowing over the edge and into the sky of the Lycian coastline. Enjoy a swim or lounge poolside. A bar and Jacuzzi are also available for guests.
Marina Bay Sands
If you want to feel like you are swimming on top of the world, then head to the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands. Located in Singapore, this 500 foot long infinity pool in Tower 1 is unlike anything else. Swimming, palm trees, and champagne can all be enjoyed while you relax in the most spectacular photo taking spot in the entire city.
Grace Santorini
Guests at the Grace Santorini infinity pool, the largest in the area, enjoy uninterrupted views across the Mediterranean Sea. When you are done swimming, you can enjoy a light meal or sample some of the resort’s signature cocktails at the poolside bar areas. This is a fabulous vantage point for watching the sunset.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Travel to the Maldives to a personal paradise at Conrad’s Rangali Island. You can enjoy not just one but two infintity pools at the luxury resort. The view alone is worth the trip, but you will also enjoy the reef and marine life in the area, as well.
