Have you ever seen a pool where you can go diving, yachting or swimming next to the sharks? Oh, and let’s not forget the killer view of the untouched tropical landscapes! In general, pools are a great way to spend some quality time, but the following seven beauties are simply out of this world.
1. The largest swimming pool
The largest pool in the world, more than a thousand meters long, is located just a few kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. This is San Alfonso del Mar, in the Algarrobo resort. A logical question arises: why would you choose a big expensive pool over the vast and free ocean? The coast of Chile is quite cold and infested with sharks, so tourists would rather pay more than getting eaten alive. It’s basically a hure artificial lagoon with crystal-clear water. Fun fact, it requires $4 million a year to maintain this beast.
2. The most picturesque pool
Exotic tropical gardens, untamed, wild jungle, an ancient Buddhist temple, – all this you can see with your own eyes while swimming in the two-level pool of the Ubud Hanging Gardens Hotel on the island of Bali. The hotel consists of 38 villas, each with its own swimming pool, but the shared panoramic pool is still the most picturesque and quite popular among the tourists.
3. The longest rooftop pool
Many world-renowned hotels have rooftop hotels, and the longest one of them all is located in Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Sky Park Hotel. 200 meters above the ground level, this 150-meter-long infinity pool will make you crap your trunks if you’re afraid of heights.
