Hotel pools come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. There’s the all-age theme park lagoon, the adults-only infinity edge with a swim-up bar, and the rooftop plunge that doubles as an epic party zone.
However, lucky for you, there are also properties with multiple pools, including those within an onsite spa, where cucumber water and a soothing soundtrack are a welcome change from the typical frenzy at the family pool or wet deck party.
From Glasgow to Mallorca, soak up the world’s most stunning pools — one dip at a time.
Because sometimes lounging at an uncrowded pool is exactly what you want — especially on vacation. The spa pools at these five hotels provide an exclusive space for spa guests to relax in a private cocoon of their own while allowing them to trade social hour for serenity and seclusion.
