Some are ultra luxe, some are super modern, all are extremely inviting. Here are 10 of the most exquisitely designed backyard and hotel pools on earth.
A South London apartment complex is building the first-ever Sky Pool, made of eight-inch-thick glass and suspended 10-stories above ground. At 90-feet-long it will bridge two apartment buildings together — that’s certainly one way to travel to your neighbor’s to borrow a cup of sugar.
Located over a thousand feet above sea level, the infinity pool at the Grace Santorini provides stunning views of the Aegean Sea and is the spot to take in the sunset on Santorini.
Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Blue Ivy went the Airbnb route for Super Bowl 50. The famous family rented this $10,000 a night, five-bedroom, five-bathroom home that features a beautiful infinity pool and sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The tiered infinity pools at the Hanging Gardens of Bali—located north of Ubud—give swimmers the feeling that they are floating high above the rainforest.
A cube-shaped grotto rises majestically out of this gleaming pool, and the ceiling of the grotto is equipped with programmable LED light strips to further the artlike effect. Designed by Tom Leader Studio, this pool features “wet edges,” making it look like a surreal, edgeless expanse.
