A swimming pool is already one of the things people look forward to when they go on vacation. But at the very top of the ideal pool designs are infinity pools. You know, the kind that makes it feel like the water just keeps going—no edge, no end, just sky and stillness.

Some hotels have made these pools the centerpiece, and they’re not wrong to do so. Once you’ve swum in one of these 14, you’ll get why they’re worth the trip.
