There\u2019s nothing better than an amazing pool. Well, unless it\u2019s 12 amazing pools, all collected in one blog post. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ve gone and done.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re all about doing laps, playing cannonball, or just sipping cocktails and admiring the view, these hotel swimming spots are guaranteed to inspire your next poolside getaway. Just remember to come home\u2026 eventually \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

1. Palazzo Versace, Gold Coast<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

The Palazzo Versace proves you don\u2019t have to go far for an amazing pool (or some Vegas-style\u00a0extravagance).<\/p>\n

2. The Sanchaya, Indonesia<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The Sanchaya is a stunning luxury resort with its own private beach. But if that isn\u2019t enough, it also has a pool that looks like this. Because holiday-life is hard.<\/p>\n

3. Hacienda Uayamon, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Mexico <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Yes, I promise this isn\u2019t a dream. Hacienda Uayamon is a real resort and you really can swim in that pool. Last one in is a rotten egg \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

4. The Library, Koh Samui<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

Blue water \u2013 pfft! The Library breaks all the rules with this striking red pool. But don\u2019t let it freak you out. The colour comes from its tiles, so you won\u2019t be doing your Carrie<\/em> impression any time soon\u2026<\/p>\n

5. Blanket Bay, Queenstown<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Sometimes it\u2019s all about simplicity. With its perfectly framed views of Lake Wakatipu and the NZ Alps, Blanket Bay\u2019s pool is a stunner.<\/p>\n

6. Quay West Suites, Sydney<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Between you and me, this little Sydney secret might be my personal fave. It\u2019s like someone flooded an art-deco penthouse and made it even more awesome. The view\u2019s not too bad, either.<\/p>\n

7. Canaves Oia Suites, Santorini<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

With its striking all-white design, incredible views, and jaw-dropping pools (yes, PLURAL), Canaves Oia is just straight-up otherworldly. One pic doesn\u2019t do it justice \u2013 you\u2019ve gotta click through and check out the\u00a0rest.<\/p>\n

8. Le Bristol, Paris<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

Like swimming on a boat, but without the risk of falling overboard and getting harassed by stupid fish (my worst nightmare). Every inch of Le Bristol is gorgeous and oh-so-French. I know where I\u2019m staying next time I\u2019m in Paris \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

9. The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa, Fiji<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n

If you love the sea but hate the sand, the Westin Denarau has got you covered. Splash around in your perfect, sand-free pool while admiring postcard views of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

10. Aleenta Resort and Spa, Phuket <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

There\u2019s only one thing better than a gorgeous resort pool, and that\u2019s a gorgeous resort pool you don\u2019t have to share. Check out Aleenta\u2019s pool suites and villas for your own private splash time. Or you could make do with the sparkly shared pool pictured above\u2026 you poor thing.<\/p>\n

11. Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Edinburgh probably isn\u2019t your go-to when you\u2019re dreaming of escaping to some place with an amazing pool. But the Sheraton Grand\u2019s bubbling rooftop Hydropool will change your mind.<\/p>\n

12. Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Jammu and Kashmir<\/a> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Aaaand I\u2019m dead. Khyber Himalayan Resort and Spa, the insane beauty of your pool has killed me. Otherwise, it\u2019d be going straight to the top of my bucket list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
