San Alfonso del Mar
Algarrobo, Chile
More of a swimming lagoon than a swimming pool, this vast body of water is supposedly both the world’s largest and deepest pool. It covers a whopping 19 acres and holds some 66million gallons of water. The pool is so large that people can even sail and waterski on it.

2 Marina Bay Sands (2)

Marina Bay Sands
Singapore
The rooftop infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands is a firm favourite with Singapore’s champagne set. Set 57 stories above the ground at 650ft, the views are stupendous. Plus its huge – at 150m, its’ three times the length of an Olympic pool and runs the length of the hotel’s Sky Park.

3 perivolas_H1-copy

Perivolas
Santorini, Greece
The village of Oia, clinging to the edge of Santorini’s caldera, is said to have the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Whether you believe that or not, the pool at this hotel in the village has its own accolade as the one to grace the most covers of travel magazines. Its infinity edge has views over the two volcanic islands in Santorini Bay. For a very decent alternative, check out the pool at The Grace in the neighbouring village of Imerovigli, which also looks over the caldera.

4 Alila Villas Uluwatu

Alila Uluwatu
Bali
The Alila hotels in Bali try to outdo each other when it comes to stunning swimming pools. The one at Alila Ubud hotel is very, very cool – but we prefer this one at the sister Uluwatu hotel. Thanks to being perched on rocks 100m above the water, the 50m pool has looks over the Indian Ocean, Ayung River valley and jungle hillsides of central Bali.
