There is not a person in this world who would say that he does not want to have a swimming pool in his backyard without lying. Check out this collection of the world’s most incredible swimming pools in order to see breathtaking images of various styles of swimming pools everywhere around the world. From luxurious infinity pools with unbeatable views to natural pools teeming with marine life, these pools around the world deserve to be on everyone’s bucket list. The swimming pools featured in this collection are different in design and style which means that you will see infinity pools, traditional pools and even some exotic pools that you couldn’t even imagine before.
Labeled as a ‘world’s first’, a 27 meter-long (90 feet) glass bottomed swimming pool is set to be installed at Nine Elms, a riverside district under construction in south London. The so-called “sky pool” will be part of the Ballymore-developed Embassy Gardens, and will allow residents to don their swimwear and butterfly over to visit neighbors. Suspended ten storeys above ground, the pool will bridge two apartment buildings making it possible to swim between the two structures. The 20-cm (7.8-in) thick glass structure is all there is to the pool. Measuring 25 m (82 ft) long, 5 m (16 ft) wide and 3 m (10 ft) deep, it will span the two buildings at the 10th storey containing water at a depth of 1.2 m (3.9 ft) without any additional frame or support.

This violin-shaped swimming pool is a perfect replica of the Stradivarius and was built with great care and precision by the folks at Cipriano Landscape Design & Custom Swimming Pools.
Now, the initial reaction of those who are not all that aware of the rich heritage and history of the Stradivarius might be that the idea is a touch extravagant. But you will quickly change your mind when you realize that there are very few of these original violins left, and some of them have been auctioned off for well over $10 million. Considering that price tag, this luxurious and stunning pool is definitely the cheaper option! Complete with f-holes, a bridge, strings, a tailpiece, and a chin rest, the replica pool is as close to the real thing as possible… Just a touch larger and a bit drenched!
