All across the region are some of the most stunning infinity pools in the world. Spending time in infinity swimming pools is a freeing experience as that barrier between you and your surroundings is less present. Swimmers get to immerse themselves in unique landscapes whether it’s breathtaking views of a city’s skyline or a backdrop of an endless sea. To try out the experience for yourself, we’ve picked out some of the best infinity pools throughout the Middle East.
AURA Sky Pool, Dubai
The highest 360-degree infinity pool in the world, according to TimeOut, is AURA Sky Pool. The pool is situated in a unique location, sitting on the edge of The Palm Tower’s 50th level. This “elevated paradise” combines an alluring assortment of lush greenery and natural components with the breathtaking view of the Palm Jumeirah skyline, creating a one-of-a-kind vibe.
Kempinski Hotel Ishtar, Jordan
The Kempinski Hotel Ishtar in Jordan is located at one of the lowest places on Earth as it is 400 meters below sea level. It fosters both an ultra-luxurious and an elegantly historic vibe. The hotel, with its several infinity pools, is only a short distance from the Dead Sea and offers some of Jordan’s best sea views.
Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco
Nestled in the Atlas mountains is Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco’s castle-like hotel whose infinity pool offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding cascading mountains and lush greenery. Beyond swimming through the pool, guests can also tap into their adventurous side and go on treks, try out quad biking as well as mule trekking.
Chedi Muscat, Oman
Bringing something new, the luxury beach resort hotel Chedi Muscat boasts an elongated infinity pool called “The Long Pool Cabana.” The 103-meter-long pool, considered one of the longest pools in the Middle East, boasts picturesque views of the Gulf of Oman. Guests can dip in the pool for a refreshing cool down and then follow that by enjoying the hotel’s fresh sushi and sashimi.
Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa By Anantara, Abu Dhabi
This pool looks a bit similar to an ancient Omani entry, though here you get a few extra UAE details. The base of all the trees is a sleek marble and the backdrop for the infinity pool is the massive Eastern Mangroves Hotel. Also, from the minute you walk through the door, you are going to be treated like royalty as some guests claimed. From kayaking through the mangroves to lounging by the infinity pool, the resort offers a magical experience.
Knowing that Infinity pools provide unlimited views of oceans, skylines, and stunning landscapes, it makes sense why people fly to hotels and resorts from all over the world solely to enjoy the luxury of swimming in an infinity pool.
