So where can you find the best hotel pools? From a private pool in Bali to hotels with lazy rivers, we’ve searched the planet for some of the most amazing hotel pools. Take the plunge in any of these impressive waters—they’re sure to make your trip an unforgettable one.

1. Palm Coast, Florida – Hammock Beach Resort

Not only does the Hammock Beach Resort pool have a water pavilion with a slide and lazy river, it also features food and drink service and plenty of lounge areas. The property also houses an indoor swimming pool, adult-only pool, and zero-entry areas so you can ease in at your leisure.

2. Payangan, Bali – Hanging Gardens of Bali

Suspended over the rainforest of the Payangan district, the Hanging Gardens of Bali pool lets you float amidst lush trees. At the tiered infinity pool, you may encounter cheeky monkeys stopping for a visit and refreshments from the poolside Lounge Bar as you soak in the cooling waters.

3. San Antonio, Texas – Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa

If you love a hotel with pool slides, the Hyatt Regency San Antonio pool is calling your name. Rush down a 22-foot waterslide, and float the day away on the Ramblin’ River at the tree-lined five-acre water park. The calm waterfall is the best place to relax in the shade, while the wave machine is a flowboarder’s dream.

4. Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii – Sheraton Waikiki

Ocean views minus beach crowds and getting messy in the sand give the Sheraton Waikiki pool its unique appeal. Reserve a private cabana for the ultimate escape, and make an entrance on the smooth pool slide that winds down a gently sloping tropical hillside.

5. Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii – The St. Regis Princeville Resort

Blues and greens stretch out before you at the St. Regis in Kauai. The infinity pool’s glassy waters meet the azure Hanalei Bay, as verdant hills stand protectively in the distance. Post up in a bay-facing chaise lounge and let the warm breezes of Kauai send you into peaceful reprieve.

6. Amalfi Coast, Italy – Belmond Hotel Caruso

The infinity pool at the Belmond Hotel will have you floating on cloud nine. That statement will feel literal when you see the way the waters meet the sky. The hotel cliffside has old world charm in spades. Lemon and olive groves wind into rose arbors set against Neapolitan-style architecture.

7. Santorini, Greece – Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel

Serene, pristine, and luxury in the extreme, Canaves Oia has one of the most stunning hotel pools in the world. Bright and sun-drenched, this white-washed hillside infinity pool overlooks the Aegean Sea. With lounge chairs that dip into turquoise water, even pictures can’t capture the relaxing vibe of this sun-drenched space.

8. Newport Coast, California– The Resort at Pelican Hill

Romantic grounds surround the Pelican Hill pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The perfectly circular pool shines with more than 1 million hand-laid glass tiles, reflecting blue skies, fiery sunsets, and twinkling stars. Treat yourself to one of the luxury cabana suites for a candle-lit dinner by the sparkling waters.
