  From Bali to Tuscany, these exotic dips should be on your bucket list.

  Infinity pool at Alila Ubud, Bali. This hotel is located high in the central foothills of Bali. Its deep-green infinity pool not only blends into the lush landscape but almost seems to extend out right over the edge of the hill.

  

  W Retreat Koh Samui, Koh Samui. Over 2,000ft long, the WET pool at W Retreat, Koh Samui looks out over swaying palms and the sparkling blue ocean. The hotel also has serene reflection pools that skirt the edges of the seating pods at WOO Bar and W- Lounge.

  

  The Residence, Zanzibar. Eighty acres of palm forests open out onto the ocean at this beachfront resort whose infinity pool languidly stretches out towards the gorgeous African sunset. Few things can compare

  

  Banyan Tree Seychelles, Seychelles. The invitingly dark-tiled main pool at Banyan Tree Seychelles juts out into the Indian Ocean like a shimmering black mirror. Swim up to the edge and peer down at the waves as they crash onto the beach

  

  Castello di Casole, Tuscany. A gorgeous retreat dating back to the 10th century, Castello di Casole’s infinity pool sits high above the rolling Tuscan landscape. Did we mention it’s also heated?

  InterContinental Hong Kong, Hong Kong. If the stunning interiors of the sprawling 7,000sq ft Presidential Suite at the InterContinental Hong Kong aren’t spellbinding enough, the suite’s private rooftop black-tiled infinity pool probably will be

  

  qualia, Hamilton Island, Australia. Ensconced in utter seclusion on the northern part of Hamilton Island is qualia, whose Windward Pavilions come with infinity pools that blend into the Coral Sea beyond.

  

  Delaire Graff Estate, South Africa. Delaire Graff Estate is located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. Its wines have won many accolades and we won’t be surprised if its Presidential Suite's 376-ft infinity plunge pool wins some too

  

  The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur. On the shores of Udaipur’s Lake Pichola is the luxurious The Oberoi Udavilas. Its rooms (except the Premier Room) open out onto either private or semi-private pools from where you can look out over manicured lawns and landscaped gardens towards Lake Pichola and the Aravalli Hills 

  

  One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives. This stunning Maldivian retreat is a hot favourite of travellers and we think it has something to with its multiple pools, especially the main infinity lap pool with its accompanying sala. It even has an in-pool bed towards the end where you can lie down and soak up some sun without getting too hot
