Make A Splash: The World’s Best Hotel Swimming Pools

There's something undeniably impressive about a beautifully designed hotel swimming pool. Whether it's an infinity pool that seemingly melts into the ocean, a striking architectural marvel, or a serene retreat set within nature, the finest hotel swimming pools enhance the art of relaxation. 

Here are our favorite ten breathtaking pools across the globe, each offering an unforgettable experience:

Bürgenstock Resort, Switzerland

Suspended 1,600 feet above the pristine waters of Lake Lucerne, the infinity pool at Bürgenstock Resort is a masterpiece of design. Maintained at a soothing 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermal waters blend seamlessly with the dramatic Swiss Alps. 

The view is so mesmerizing that photography is restricted to preserve an atmosphere of pure escapism that once captivated icons like Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery.

Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection, Santorini

Santorini is famed for its cascading white-washed villages and breathtaking sunsets, but the 76-foot infinity pool at Grace Hotel sets itself apart with its geometric elegance. 

Heated to a comfortable 73 degrees, this cliffside sanctuary offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Aegean Sea and the volcanic caldera. Guests can enjoy impeccable service from the adjacent 363 Bar and Michelin-starred Varoulko Santorini.

Como Laucala Island, Fiji

On a secluded Fijian island, Como Laucala's 82-foot lap pool entices guests from their private villas, each featuring its plunge pool. 

The pool's glass-walled edge reveals lush tropical landscapes, while the adjacent bar serves island-inspired cocktails and fresh juices. Sun-drenched daybeds and shaded cabanas make it effortless to linger here from sunrise to sunset.

Amanera, Dominican Republic

Amanera's 131-foot heated infinity pool dissolves into the Playa Grande Beach below. Surrounded by the lush Cordillera Septentrional mountain range, this retreat offers comfortable sun beds and an atmosphere of understated elegance. 

Order a La Casita cocktail and fresh ceviche, and revel in the serenity of the Caribbean's most exclusive hideaway.
 

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Hawaii

King's Pond at Four Seasons Hualalai is no ordinary swimming pool - it's a marine sanctuary. Carved from lava rock, this 1.8-million-gallon, semi-natural lagoon is home to over a thousand fish and a resident spotted eagle ray. 

Guests can swim alongside tropical marine life or participate in guided snorkeling safaris led by the resort's team of marine biologists.

Silo Hotel, South Africa

Atop Cape Town's iconic Silo Hotel, a glass-sided, T-shaped rooftop pool offers an extraordinary perspective of Table Mountain and the bustling V&A Waterfront. 

Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the hotel merges industrial heritage with contemporary luxury, creating a setting as striking as the scenery. Floating in this sky-high pool, cocktail in hand, is the ultimate Cape Town experience.

Capella Ubud, Bali

Hidden within the lush rain forests of Bali, Capella Ubud's Cistern Pool is an architectural wonder crafted from marine-grade steel. 

Its bold zigzag motif echoes the resort's fusion of nature and design, while each of the 23 stilted tents offers its own private plunge pool. Nearby, the Mortar & Pestle Bar serves handcrafted cocktails inspired by Balinese flavors.

One&Only Mandarina, Mexico

Perched 187 feet above the Pacific Ocean in Mexico, the Alma Pool at One&Only Mandarina defies gravity with dual cantilevered lap pools. 

Framed by ancient trees, these pools extend dramatically over the jungle and ocean, creating an ethereal floating effect. Enjoy handcrafted paletas and tropical cocktails while soaking in the panoramic vistas.
 

Tierra Patagonia, Chile

Set against the Torres del Paine National Park backdrop, Tierra Patagonia's indoor pool is a sanctuary of warmth and wonder. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the snow-capped mountains and Lake Sarmiento, where wildlife often roams. 

Warmed up to 97 degrees Fahrenheit, the pool features soothing jets and cascades, while an adjacent outdoor hot tub offers an even closer connection to Patagonia's rugged beauty.

The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, Australia

At this eco-conscious retreat, founded by the legendary Irwin family, the Billabong Pool overlooks an open paddock where rescued kangaroos and emus roam freely. 

The 82-foot infinity pool features a stunning glass mosaic of crocodiles based on images captured by Steve Irwin's
son, Robert.
 

From Swiss mountain hideaways to overwater paradises, these hotel swimming pools redefine the meaning of indulgence.
