Has the cooler weather sent you daydreaming about sunny skies and dips in the pool? Few things are as relaxing as a lazy soak on a hot day, drink in hand and gazing up at the clouds. And when we ask, the tourism industry delivers. From gorgeous luxury resorts to quirky aquatic structures, here are a few watery paradises to keep you going until that next exotic holiday.
Perivolas Hotel Infinity Pool, Greece
Nestled on the holiday-hotspot of Santorini, the Hotel pool looks out over the Aegean Sea. Stunning, tranquil, and a view which has guests wondering just where the pool actually ends.

Mardan Palace, Turkey
A luxury structure encircling a pool of turquoise water, the Palace Hotel actually boasts the Mediterranean's largest swimming pool. Built by an Azerbaijani businessman in 2009, the establishment is well-known for having its own beach (made from specially imported Egyptian sand) and its collection of 2,400 housed in an aquarium beneath the pool itself.

Badeschiff, Germany
Cool engineering or pointless pretence? This public swimming pool floats in central Berlin on the Spree river. Open daily and with DJs spinning at its entrance, the pool allows swimmers to experience the smart surrounds of the river without delving into its murky, unhygienic depths.

The Sarojin, Thailand
Surrounded by no fewer than five national parks, this hotel looks out onto the ocean but its real attraction lies in the gorgeous, serene ponds where guests can indulge in a peaceful nap among beautiful green waters.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
The highest and largest infinity pool in the world? Welcome to Marina Bay Sands. With glorious views across the city’s skyline, this truly is a cosmopolitan swim, all 150 metres of it.

Kastrup Søbad, Denmark
If you’re into freezing scandinavian waters, look no further than this extraordinary pavilion structure, smack bang in the Baltic sea. A project which reached its fruition in 2005, the pool is designed to minimise the seawind while allowing swimmers to enjoy views of the coast. Another boardwalk connects it to the shore and the area is open to all, at no cost.

The Oberoi Udaivilas, India
It’s hard to imagine a nicer view to wake up to than those offered by this glorious floating hotel in the western Indian tourism-mecca of Udaipur. With fifty acres on the banks of Lake Pichola, the hotel features a series of interconnected ponds, all for the enjoyment of its guests.
