11 Most Extraordinary and Admirable Swimming Pools in The World [PICS]

There are around 11 swimming pools in different countries, been considered as admirable pools. So I'll start from Australia.



1. The Icebergs, Sydney, Australia.


The ocean's waves often break over the side of the Icebergs swimming pool located in the corner of the famed Bondi Beach. This beautiful full-sized 8 lane, 50m swimming pool is open to the public and the fee is only 5 AUD.


2. The Neptune Pool, Hearst Castle, California, USA.



Unlike the Icebergs pool, here you have to be a millionaire to involve in the Neptune pool. The Swimming pool is located in the Hearst Castle, originally built in 1920 for William Randolph Hearst, an American businessman, and later rebuilt twice.


3. The Joule Hotel, Dallas, USA.



This pool has eight feet leaning forward, located in the edge of floor 10 at the Joule Hotel in Dallas. Five star hotel was finished in 1927, designed by famous architect, Adam D. Tihany.


4. The Alila Ubud swimming pool, Bali.

The calm, emerald-green swimming pool is floating above the Ayung River valley in Bali's lush foothills. The pool is the Alila Udubu resort, Payangan, a traditional Balinese hill village, near Ubud.


5. Simply a swimming pool, Iceland.


What we know about this pool is that it lies somewhere in Iceland, and if you want to swim you should go to the farm next door to ask for the key.


6. San Alfonso del Mar, Algarrobo, Chile.



San Alfonso del Mar is a private resort located in Algarrobo, Chile, about 60 miles (97 km) west of the capital Santiago. This is the largest pool in the world. San Alfonso's pool is 1,000 meters (3/5th mile) long, 35 metres (115 ft) wide which is equivalent to 6000 Pool of 8 meters long. The pool covers an area of 7.7 hectares (19 acres) that holds 250 million liters (66 million gallons) of seawater. Water is pumped from the Pacific Ocean, then filtered and processed before it is supplied to the pool.


7. The Gellert Swimming Pool, Budapest, Hungary.

Gellert Baths and Swimming Pool complex looks more like a cathedral than a pool. The famed Budapest's bath was constructed between 1912 and 1918 and it features chic Art Nouveau style. The temperature of water exceeds 40°C (110°F), so visiting the baths is a perfect way to kill the time on a rainy day.


8. Harbour Plaza Hotel Swimming Pool, Hong Kong, China.

Grand Harbour Hong Kong, a luxury icon in Hong Kong, is home to a stunning outdoor pool which sits on the floor 23rd. Swimming pool, facing the Victoria Harbour, has some views from a truly amazing countless skyscrapers in the city.


9. The Badeschiff, Berlin, Germany.


Badeschiff or "bathing ship" is the most unusual swimming pool in Berlin. It is an old cargo container converted into a pool on Spree River. During the summer it is an outdoor pool with the beach, bar and DJs. In the winter the whole thing is covered, and a few extra saunas are added.


10. The Pimalai Resort swimming pool, Koh Lanta, Thailand.


This stunning swimming pool in the Pimalai Resort & Spa in Koh Lanta is more like a kind of temple site. In fact, it is a fresh-water, infinity-edge pool, set about 50 feet above sea level - so while swimming you can admire the views of the beach and sea below.


11. Skypark swimming pool, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.





The swimming pool is located on the top of 3 connected towers. It's a 150m infinity swimming pool, three times the length of an Olympic swimming pool.

So how is it? is it admirable enough? Personally I like number 11 that is Skypark swimming pool in Singapore. How about you?
