Lucerne: Park Hotel Vitznau(01 of10)
Open Image ModalSwitzerland is neutral, it never takes sides, so its somewhat fitting that the pool at Park Hotel Vitznau is half inside, half outside. No one will fault you for favouring the sunnier side though.
Patagonia: Llao Llao Hotel & Resort, Golf-Spa(02 of10)
Open Image ModalOh, you know, just a modest infinity pool in Argentina overlooking snow-capped mountains and glacier-feed lakes. At Llao Llao Hotel & Resort, you won’t want to get your hair wet only because it’ll mean losing sight of the view for a few seconds.
São Paulo: Hotel Unique(03 of10)
Open Image ModalThey don’t call it Unique for nothing. The arc-shaped building features a rooftop pool with blood red tiles, not to mention brilliant views of São Paulo.
Phuket: The Naka Island(04 of10)
Open Image ModalPool-side lounging at The Naka Island in Thailand is taken to the next level when the loungers are set on a central deck encircled by the water. Beyond that oceanic blue views for days.
Maldives: Velassaru(05 of10)
Open Image ModalVelassaru has the aquatic version of that scene in Zoolander when Hansel whispers “They’re in the computer.” In other words, the pool is in the ocean. Amazing, right? And such a Maldivian resort thing to do.
Bern: The Cambrian(06 of10)
Open Image ModalAnother Swiss stunner, The Cambrian\'s infinity pool gives guests an astonishing widescreen view of the Alps. Thankfully it’s heated so it can be enjoyed year-round.
Bali: Ubud Hanging Gardens(07 of10)
Open Image ModalPutting the “in” in Indonesia, Ubud Hanging Gardens is on a hilltop surrounded by the greenest trees and terraced gardens. Their two-level infinity pool is a pretty nice perch above the Ayung River gorge.
Salvador: Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte(08 of10)
Open Image ModalWhere the pool ends and the ocean begins, it’s hard to tell. North of Salvador, which is known as the Brazil’s capital of happiness, Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte is definitely within the bliss radius.
Rivas: Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa Resort(09 of10)
Open Image ModalThere aren’t many places where one can cool off in the pool, then promptly hop out on the beach, grab a board and hit the waves. The Nicaraguan resort Mukul Beach Resort offers that killer proximity.
Guanacaste: Andaz Peninsula Papagayo(10 of10)
Open Image ModalEnjoy those candy-coloured Costa Rican sunsets from one of two pools at Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, one for families, the other for adults, both infinity.
