A prima donna design makes a stunning impact and hotel pools are no exception. Regardless of the surrounding temperatures, every luxury hotel in accordance with its salt has one, after all–it’s difficult to convey whether it’s more enthralling to be swamped beside a sand-scoured sea or to be embraced by majestic peaks. And moreover, as authenticity gains more value, properties are going all-out extravagant on them. As the bar keeps on getting higher, it’s simply not adequate to have a functional pool or a lagoon for cooling off. The perception between a sizeable pool and a magnificent one often comes down to the atmospheric ambiance around it. So, it’s a no-brainer for luxury hotels and resorts to come up with the most dramatic swimming pools to lure their guests in for heavenly escapades.
Here’s a roundup of some of the most amazing hotel pools in the world. So if looking forward to an exciting dip in the crystal clear waters featuring some of the most stunningly designed, most serene, or ones with the most enchanting views, then check out the list below.
