/granite-web-prod/d7/65/d765e63b2d7c4fea9713436382a2b281.jpeg)
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.

Still, the rooftop infinity pool boasts epic views over the city, including the Petronas Twin Towers. Seeing as the pool belongs to a Banyan Tree, you can only expect top-notch service and luxury, too. The pool is also reserved strictly for guests.

Everything about this Italian resort drips with luxury. Not only is it named after a Roman emperor, but the hotel itself was once a summer house for a Russian prince and is still a favorite among international royalty. The entire hotel is situated on a cliff with dramatic views overlooking the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento and Ischia.
Since it's a cliffside resort, height comes with the territory, which is why this pool height is measured in feet and not stories. The infinity pool has spectacular views, elegant poolside service and is warm year-round.

The resort itself is 3,000 feet above sea level, which is incredibly impressive. So that, by default, means its pool is going to be heaven-level. The 23-room hotel is famous for its outdoor infinity pool that maintains a 93-degree temperature year-round and has some of the most breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps you'll ever see.
