Splash around with a panoramic view, swim at dizzying heights and take a look over the edge of the pool for a bit of sightseeing: these rooftop pools make it possible!
Why? The infinity pool of the Marina Bay Sands could be called a classic rooftop pool. Because here you swim at the lofty height of 191 meters towards the city. With a length of 150 meters, it's also considered the largest of its kind. In the past, both, the pool and the rooftop garden were open to the public. That has changed due to the crowds. Currently, only hotel guests can swim in this attraction in Singapore. Top tip therefore: Stay for at least two nights. Because the number of guests who only spend one night here because of the pool is high. But they have to leave around noon the next day. And that is the ideal time to enjoy a deserted pool.

Why? Dubai ist an Superlativen ohnehin nicht gerade arm. Da reiht sich dann auch noch der “höchste Infinity-Pool der Welt” in die Liste ein. Er ist fast 95 Meter lang und ermöglicht schwimmen in einer Amount from 293,906 Metern. Da nimmt man’s ganz genau. Auf Ebene 77 fällt der Blick auf das Riesenrad “Ain Dubai” und den Umeirah Beach. Zutritt haben auch hier Hotel guests only. And only those who are over 21 years old. By the way: The gym is just a few meters below, offers similarly spectacular views and is also open to non-guests.

Why? Die Stadt, die niemals schläft immer im Blick – das haben die Gäste des 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Das Gebäude ist zwar weniger imposant als seine Mitstreiter in Sachen Rooftop-Pools. Aber mit Panorama it can still score points. Because the view falls on the water and on the skyline. Velvet Statue of Liberty! There are also excellent cocktails at the rooftop. Tip: Come at sunset! Here, too, the motto is: Hotel guests only!

Why? Lebenslust und Rio – diese beiden Begriffe gehen Hand in Hand. Doch auch die feierfreudigsten Gäste brauchen hin und wieder eine Auszeit. Dafür kommt der Pool des Hotel Fasano gerade richtig. Das Hotel liegt an der Ipanema Beach Promenade. The view from the floods therefore falls on the floods. And to the city. Good to know: The design of the hotel comes from star designer Philippe Starck. The décor is inspired by Dalí; the hotel belongs to the Leading Hotels of the World.

Why? There are many reasons why you should be sure to visit the Amalfi Coast. For example, the picturesque towns nestled against the cliffs are pure Insta-gold. It gets even more spectacular when you take your next selfie in the pool of the Belmond Hotel Caruso. Because the view from here falls over the invisible edge towards the horizon. The entire pool area fits perfectly with the rest of the house; a former palazzo from the 11th century.
