25 Tallest Infinity Pools in the World
Meet the pools around the world that are raising the bar — literally. From steel-in-the-sky perches with epic skyline views to entire theme parks in the air and mountain-top retreats that are wrapped in actual clouds, even the most seasoned pool expert will be left breathless.
Infinity pools became all the rage in the 1960s — to the point that now countless resorts and celebrity homes are incomplete without them. And while infinity pools at sea level are stunning, it's the pools that take to the skies that have us turning our heads.
In 2021, Dubai unveiled the highest outdoor infinity pool in the world — and it really is something spectacular. But while it may be the best in its own category, there are dozens of rooftop infinity pools worldwide that have considerable bragging rights as well. From the streets of Miami to the clifftops of Bali and everything in between, here are the 25 tallest infinity pools in the world.
