Pretty much every infinity pool has a great view, especially if you like the look of endless stretches of sea and sky. But not every infinity pool has a view over Singapore’s skyscrapers or across snow-covered Swiss Alps. Here we’ve picked out some of the more unique views that you can enjoy whilst kicking back in an infinity edge pool. This is our list of the top ten pools with the most amazing views – for those who like to treat their eyes too.

Marina Bay Sands has the most famous infinity pool in the world – and not surprisingly. Perched on top of Marina Bay Sands tower, the pool is as high up as the rest of the surrounding skyscrapers, which gives the alarming appearance of a pool vanishing into an urban landscape. It has to be seen to be believed.
