2. Marina Bay Sands
Of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without the infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands Singapore. It has seen countless celebrities including David Beckham (be still, our beating hearts!), Katy Perry and Justin Bieber frolicking in it. Perched 57 floors above the iconic ship-shaped building, it feels like you’re swimming on the edge of the world. Plus, the drop beyond the pool edge adds a bit of risk to the experience.

6. Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore
Located conveniently within Singapore’s most iconic shopping district, the swimming pool at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is affectionately referred to as BayWatch.

Adventure Pool is the place to be. Fair warning: You’ll probably have to surgically remove yourself from the deck.
