Dive in: 5 amazing hotel pools you must check out in Southeast Asia
Failing to make a splash in these good-looking man-made creations would be such a waste
There are swimming pools, and then there are swimming pools – some are undeniably more inviting than others. Gone are the days when the pool was just another hotel facility; it has become an outlet of a hotel’s creative expression. Lucky for us folks in this part of the world, there are a number of extraordinary pools a few hours’ flight away in Southeast Asia. Here are five that might make you spend the entire day relaxing by the water’s edge once you have checked in.
Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
During the day, you can admire the city’s Petronas Twin Towers while swimming in the hotel’s indoor lap pool 33 floors above. The excitement doesn’t stop there though, as the entire floor transforms into the hip and cool SkyBar, one of the most popular lounges in the city, come sundown. We can see why anyone would stay put in this particular section of the property the entire day.
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Marina Bay Sands, commonly referred to as MBS, is one of the country’s iconic landmarks, having transformed its skyline since 2010. Sitting atop the 57th floor of this spectacular building is a palm tree-dotted urban pool that boasts the best panoramic view of the cityscape. Touted as the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, it should come as no surprise that Diplo, Katy Perry, Jessie J and Chiara Ferragni have been spotted hanging out by the pool. The best way to enjoy this celebrated spot? Soak in the water for as long as you like, then relax on one of the poolside lounge beds and bask in the sun before enjoying the glorious golden sunset with some bubbly.
