It's no secret to a lot of you that I love swimming, or just being around water. For me, the hot, sweaty days of summer have always been synonymous with the smell of chlorine. Usually when you go to a pool to relax there's always that annoying sound of screaming kids... But a few hotels and resorts have designed the most innovative, incredible swimming pools in the world to give swimmers and sunbathers a welcome respite from the usual chlorine chaos. From relaxing to adventurous (swimming next to sharks?), these pools are anything but ordinary.
The Library Hotel Samui: Chaweng Island
Intercontinental Hotel: Hong Kong
Burj Al Arab: Dubai
Golden Nugget Las Vegas
That's a 200,000 gallon shark tank in the middle.
Crown Towers Hotel: Taipa Island Macau
Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, Palms Hotel Las Vegas
This suite takes up the entire 52nd floor. The pool cantilevers off the edge of the tower.
San Alfonso del Mar, Chile
This is the biggest pool in the world.
Banyan Tree Hotel: Intendance Bay, Seychelles
Begawan Giri Hotel: Ubud, Bali
Blue Lagoon Geothermal Resort: Grindavík, Iceland
Not technically a hotel, but what a beautiful place for a swim.
Le Meridien Hurghada: Makadi Bay, Egypt
Hilton Hotel: Auckland New Zeland
After seeing these pictures, the screaming kids and floating Band-Aids at my building pool seem even less tolerable.
