00:00 From glass bottomed pools to amazing views…stay tuned to number 1 to see the most insanely 00:05 cool swimming pools in the world! 00:18 Number 10: Glass Bottomed Sky Pool. 00:21 Imagine swimming in a pool with the bottom made of glass. 00:25 It would be awesome, right? 00:27 You could see everything below the pool, and it would give you a nice optical illusion 00:30 like you're flying, or something like that. 00:33 Now imagine that the glass-bottomed pool was high up in the air. 00:37 Like, at the top of a building? 00:39 Well, that would be both exciting and frightening! 00:42 And this is not just an idea…the actual pool exists. 00:46 In the city of Houston, Texas there is a luxury apartment complex called Market Square Tower, 00:51 and on top of the building is a swimming pool. 00:53 The pool is mostly on the deck of the roof, itself, but a small section hangs a bit over 00:58 the edge…and it has a glass bottom, so that the swimmers can admire the view while enjoying 01:04 the water. 01:05 This is unfortunately a private pool, so the public doesn't have access to it, but if you 01:10 happen to meet someone who lives there, you might get a chance to experience swimming 01:14 in this pool yourself! 01:17 Number 9: Marina Bay Sands. 01:20 One of the newest trends in luxury hotels in the concept of so-called "infinity pools." 01:25 But before we talk about this one, we'd really appreciate it if you'd take a moment to subscribe 01:29 to our channel! 01:30 Don't forget to click that little notification bell, and, something else…Oh yeah! 01:35 Like this video!! 01:37 Infinity pools are called that way because they give you the illusion that there is no 01:41 end to your swimming…you don't see the edge of the pool right in front of you, because 01:45 the water rolls over in such a way that it creates an illusion that it merges into the 01:49 landscape, be it the sea, the view of the city, etc. 01:53 And one of the most amazing infinity pools in the world is definitely the one in Marina 01:57 Bay Sands hotel in Singapore. 01:59 What makes this infinity pools unique is that it's much bigger than other pools of its kind…and 02:05 it's located 57 floors above the ground. 02:09 Hotel guests can enjoy lying around in their sunbeds, with the wide infinity pools in front 02:13 of them, and a breathtaking view of the city ahead. 02:15 It's really one of the best hotel views money can buy. 02:18 A real gem in Singapore's crown! 02:22 Number 8: The Shark Tank With all of the fierce competition between 02:27 hotels, trying to win business, all of the hotels are competing for your dollar. 02:31 This is especially true in Las Vegas…the entertainment capital of the world. 02:35 The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino realized the importance of exquisite hotel features…and 02:40 they came up with something pretty wild: swimming with sharks! 02:45 No, don't worry, you're not actually swimming with the sharks, like in a James Bond movie, 02:51 but it's pretty close to that. 02:53 To its guests, The Golden Nugget offers a pool called "The Tank" and, in the middle 02:58 of the pool, there is a 200,000 gallon shark tank aquarium. 03:02 But here's the best part…you don't simply get a chance to swim in the pool and watch 03:06 the sharks from afar, while they're prowling in the water. 03:09 No, no! 03:10 The experience is much more intense than that because there is a special, built-in waterslide. 03:14 So, you can rush down the waterslide and literally be a couple of feet away from the sharks…they 03:20 are right next to you! 03:21 Now, that's really something. 03:24 Number 7: Swimming Pool "Bridge." 03:27 In our first entry, we talked about a swimming pool that goes just a little over the edge 03:31 of the building. 03:32 But, imagine a swimming pool that goes all the way from one building to the other. 03:36 Yes, this really exists. 03:39 Okay, so…it will exist. 03:42 The so-called "Sky Pool" is located in London, and it's been dubbed the world's first pool 03:47 with a transparent bottom…of that kind. 03:50 115 feet in the air, and 82 feet in length, Sky Pool is a true feat of engineering. 03:56 The engineer behind the project is the company Eckersley O'Callaghan, which worked with Apple, 04:01 helping design their unique Apple stores around the world. 04:04 Sky Pool will be part of the property development called Embassy Gardens, and the plan is to 04:09 complete it by the summer of 2019, although there are still some minor difficulties. 04:15 The pool has to be placed literally between two buildings, both of which will "pull it," 04:19 in different directions. 04:20 So, this has to be taken into consideration. 04:23 Also, both buildings are slightly affected by the wind, which also may come a minor problem 04:28 in figuring everything out. 04:30 But the engineers are working hard in order to turn this project into a reality. 04:35 Let's hope they pull it off! 04:37 Number 6: The Hanging Gardens of Bali. 04:40 Yes, the name sure sounds mythical and magical, and rightly so. 04:45 If you want an exotic location with breathtaking scenery and a gorgeous pool to top it off, 04:50 look no further. 04:51 Near Parayan, a village north of the city of Ubud in Bali, there is a luxurious destination 04:57 called the Hanging Gardens of Bali. 04:59 This award-winning resort overlooks the ancient temple of Dalem Segara and the Ayung River, 05:05 and it stands right next to a beautiful valley, offering its guests so many things to experience 05:10 and enjoy. 05:11 The nature is gorgeous, the spa treatments are luxurious, but what really stands out 05:16 is the Twin-Tiered Cascading Pool, an absolute must-see. 05:20 This swimming pool has been named "the world's best swimming pool' by many travel websites, 05:25 and it always shows up in the brochures and travel offers for the Hanging Gardens of Bali. 05:29 The way it's designed, with the two levels overlooking the dense forest ahead and the 05:34 beautiful nature of the whole region, gives the Twin-Tiered Cascading Pool that little 05:38 extra, taking it to a level above the rest. 05:43 Number 5: Jade Mountain Pool. 05:46 When you hear the world Caribbean, probably the first synonym that comes to your mind 05:50 is "exotic." 05:51 The Caribbean islands really have a unique appeal, and some of the best hotels and tourist 05:55 attractions are to be found in this part of the world. 05:58 And the island of Saint Lucia is no exception to the rule; this is the place of Jade Mountain, 06:04 a fantastic resort with so much to offer. 06:07 You can enjoy yourself on the hotel's private beach, or experience all the wonderful things 06:11 its spa treatment has to offer. 06:13 Each room in the hotel has a fantastic view, which means that the good time is guaranteed. 06:19 But what really makes this hotel resort stand out is its swimming pool. 06:23 It doesn't have a weird design, it doesn't stretch across acres of land…but it has 06:28 a fantastic location, overlooking the sea and the surrounding mountains. 06:32 It's elevated a bit, in the style of infinity pools, and…if you swim toward the edges, 06:38 you will have a feeling like you're flying towards the sea. 06:40 A unique feeling. 06:42 The pool's tiles are very colorful, and they create a beautiful visual effect, combined 06:47 with the sunshine and the water. 06:50 Number 4: Belmond Caruso Pool. 06:53 Ahhh, Ravello, Italy…well, what's not to love in Italy? 06:58 The country has everything: great wines, amazing culture, fantastic cuisine, beautiful women, 07:04 and astounding landscapes. 07:06 Yup, if you want to have a good time, go to Italy, because it really covers all the bases. 07:12 But Italy wouldn't be as great were it not for its hotels; Italy has some of the best 07:16 hotels in the world…one of which is Belmond Hotel Caruso. 07:21 Located on the coast of Amalfi, a small town in the province of Salerno, the hotel offers 07:26 one of the most amazing sea views in all of Italy. 07:30 Its offer is very, very rich…with terraced gardens, luxurious rooms, and suites with 07:36 private balconies. 07:37 But it also has one of the best swimming pools any Italian hotel has to offer. 07:42 It's done in the infinity pool style, but, because of the hotel's altitude, it looks 07:47 like you're floating in the air. 07:49 Even when you're by the pool, not in it, it creates an illusion of flying. 07:53 But, when you're in the swimming pool, the feeling is simply indescribable. 07:59 Number 3: Crocosaurus Cove Pool. 08:02 If your idea of a good time is swimming with crocodile, lets do this! 08:06 Again, this is not really swimming with the beasts, but it's definitely pretty close. 08:11 This type of fun is especially designed for those who want an adrenaline rush in their 08:16 life. 08:17 The Crocosaurus Cove pool offers a lot of fun for those who adore crocodiles and have 08:21 a sense of adventure. 08:22 Here, you can find over 200 species of crocodiles, literally all kinds! 08:27 But the best part is that you're allowed to go into swimming pools and be very near the 08:31 crocs. 08:32 Every day, there are 12 "dips," from 9:30 AM to 5PM, when you enter a protected cage 08:38 and go down into the croc-infested swimming pool. 08:40 The cage is not that small, as it can carry up to two people. 08:44 It's transparent, made of special material, and it allows you to look at the crocodiles 08:48 and admire them up-close. 08:50 If this is your thing, don't wait…the swimming pool at the Croc Cove is waiting. 08:53 Enjoy yourself; just be sure to stay within the confines of the glass cage. 08:58 It's not your regular swimming pool, you know? 09:01 Number 2: Pamukkale Thermal Pools. 09:04 Yes, there are many man-made swimming pools that are absolutely stunning, but what about 09:09 the pools mother nature created for us? 09:11 We haven't mentioned any of those, yet, so here it is…one of the best natural pools 09:16 in the world: the Pamukkale Thermal. 09:18 If you haven't heard of it, even better, because you're in for a treat. 09:22 Pamukkale (which in Turkish means "cotton castle") is one of the most amazing natural 09:26 wonders in the country. 09:28 It is a series of open-air swimming pools and spa baths, characterized by their sparkling 09:32 turquoise color; made such because of travertine sedimentary rocks, which give it that special 09:37 glow. 09:38 If you look at some of the pictures or postcards of Pamukkale, you'd think that the place is 09:43 covered in snow, because it's all white, but no…it's just the way these rocks are. 09:47 The pools come in all shapes and sizes, and their water is extremely beneficial. 09:52 You're not only enjoying yourself, but also working on your health. 09:56 The entrance fee is less than $20 per person, and you can enjoy all the splendors the swimming 10:01 pools of Pamukkale have to offer. 10:04 Number 1: Nemo 33. 10:07 Why have we chosen this as number one on our list? 10:10 Because…it's completely bonkers! 10:12 It's weird, and amazing at the same time. 10:15 But this is a special kind of swimming pool, as it's designed for deep-sea divers. 10:19 During the 90s, John Beernaerts, who's a deep-sea diver, wanted to create something for other 10:24 diving enthusiasts, because he saw one major flaw in the whole preparation system for divers…at 10:29 the time, there were no real, specialized pools of this kind. 10:33 Divers used to practice in shallow pools in the city of Brussels, but that simply wasn't 10:37 enough. 10:38 John knew, experienced as he was, that there is a big difference between diving in a basic 10:43 pool versus a lagoon of an underwater cave. 10:46 That's why he wanted to bring the real deep-sea diving experience right to Brussels…so he 10:51 made Nemo 33. 10:53 This is the deepest indoor swimming pool in the world, and it has everything. 10:57 From simulated caves to its many platforms, mimicking those of underwater rocks and lagoons. 11:02 But the most amazing thing is the 33-meter cylindrical pit. 11:07 Nemo 33 is great for those who are just getting started, but it's also a great place for experienced 11:12 divers who simply want to practice. 11:14 And, if you're not into deep-sea diving, we suggest you take a swim in one of the previous 11:19 entries on the list! 11:21 Which pool was your favorite? 11:22 Let us know in the comments below and…take care!
