The Cambrian Hotel, Switzerland​

Set in one of Switzerland’s prettiest mountain resorts, the Cambrian Hotel is a jaw-dropping spot with one of the best pools you’ll ever lay your eyes on. Apart from the award-winning spa, granite surround and luxurious deck, what really makes this a hit is the lofty perch at the pool’s edge that makes you feel like you are floating high above the mountains.

Shangri-La at the Shard, United Kingdom​

There are swimming pools, and there is the Skypool! This lofty lido certainly lives up to its name as it calls the 52nd floor of London’s iconic Shard building home. It’s not the biggest pool on our list, nor the most exotic. But what this infinity gem does boast is floor-to-ceiling windows that provide panoramic views of London’s iconic skyline. It’s an aquatic experience like no other.

One and Only Reethi Rah, Maldives​

This mind-bogglingly beautiful resort offers guests palatial luxury, but the home comforts don’t stop with the hotel accommodations—they also extend to the pools, too. We say ‘extend,’ because in fact the hotel’s most Gram-worthy body of water is a black slate wonder that stretches 30 metres (100 feet) into the ocean itself.

Showpiece Pool, Viking Star​

This infinity pool might not be the biggest bathing area on our list, but it is the most portable. That’s because it isn’t located in a hotel or a resort but on the back of a cruise ship. The glass-walled design doesn’t just look cool either, it gives the impression that you’re floating in the ocean as you visit far-flung locales in style.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore​

Perched high above the glittering skyline of Singapore is the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool. Set 57 levels above street level, it’s a feat of architecture that boasts the kind of views you’d expect to have to hike to enjoy, let alone be able to soak up in your swimwear.

Hanging Gardens of Bali, Bali​

There are many reasons why Bali attracts millions of visitors each year, but one of them is most definitely this aquatic marvel. Overlooking Ubud’s Ayung River, this aptly-named two-tier wonder is set in the fringes of the jungle and suspended over the valley below, giving it an almost mystical charm as an oasis amongst the wilds of nature.

The Grace Hotel, Greece​

Sunsets are beautiful no matter where you watch them, but thanks to this Santorini swimming pool Mother Nature’s light show is turned all the way up to 11. The divine dipping spot is in fact the largest infinity pool in the uber-popular holiday island, a 22-metre (72-foot) marvel that will leave you wondering where the pool ends and the ocean begins.

The Joule Hotel, USA​

There may be more exotic aquatic experiences on offer elsewhere in the world, but few pools can top the incredible juxtaposition offered by this downtown Dallas spot. Located in a 1920s neo-Gothic gem, the unique 2.4-metre (eight-foot) cantilevered pool gives guests the sensation of swimming out beyond the hotel’s edge, floating high above the hustle and bustle of the streets below.
