When we’re faced with flat days, bad surf, or in parts of the world without waves, a great option to chillax and get wet is a good ‘ol pool. And whether you’re at a local pool or an exotic infinity pool overlooking a Balinese jungle, pool-lounging is one of life’s wonderful luxuries.
Since we can’t always be at those exotic infinity pools year-round (if you’ve figured that one out please give me a call), we’ve rounded up a visual feast of 19 of the most beautiful pools in the world. Also known as: 19 places you’d rather be right now.
The bad news: you’re not there right now. The good news: these are all hotel pools so one day you could be there. #PoolGoals
If you’re a fan of tropical pools, sexy pools, rooftop pools, geothermal pools- there’s a pool here for everyone.
Oh, and there’s also a pool lined with 24-karat gold leaves that are set in place with crystals. AKA: the P. Diddy pool.
