Best 4 Infinity Pools In The Maldives

I have visited many resorts during the last 10 years, and here are the best 4 infinity pools that I have come across in the Maldives. Some of the resorts that I have been to have the same class of pool, however, the infinity factor was lacking. Some of these pools were originally made in the concept of the infinity pool. But due to the existence of palm trees, sun loungers, or other furnished between the pool and the sea, it takes away the beautiful infinity style. I do enjoy palm trees on the beach, especially by the poolside. Swaying palm trees give you an exotic feel in addition to the amazement of the infinity pool. Let’s have a look at the Top 4 Infinity pool I have come across in The Maldives.


An infinity pool is a reflecting swimming pool where the water flows over one or more edges creating a visual effect of water with no boundaries. These pools are designed in a way that the edge appears to merge in with a larger body of water. In the case of the Maldives, it is the hues of blue that the ocean and sky produce at day and a myriad of colors during sunrise and sunset. These pools are highly sought after facility in the Maldives as it gives you stunning views of the famous azure lagoons. The designs are very important in these types of swimming pools. It is important to have an uninterrupted view in front of the pool or else the visual effect is not profound enough to have an effect on its users. Here I have selected the top 4 locations where you will get uninterrupted and mesmerizing views that are priceless when it comes to a dream vacation.
