Nothing makes a vacation cooler more than a resort with a stunning pool. Whether you seek a refreshing reprieve from the intense summer sun, a tranquil place to lounge or a bass-thumping evening social scene, a beautiful hotel pool can do it all.

Admittedly, every resort worth its weight in chlorinating tablets offers its patrons a place for a quick dip. To separate themselves from the competition, some extraordinary luxury hotels and resorts around the world have taken their delightful deep ends to new heights—sometimes literally.

From Bali to Bermuda, these hotel pools are so breathtaking and enticing that they alone warrant a trip.
