Amazing Pools: Marina Bay Sands

Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands resort boasts an infinity pool that is not for the faint of heart. Soaring 57 stories in the southeast Asian sky, the Marina Bay Sand’s Skypark stretches across the tops of the resort’s three primary buildings.

The giant bridge running across the skyline is highlighted by an infinity pool that is truly magnificent. Nearly 500 feet long, this crystal clear pool looks directly over Singapore’s city center. Already amazing by day, by night the ambiance is even more impressive.

With its turquoise color, the transparency of a tropical sea, and a maintained temperature of 79 degrees, visitors get the best of the natural and luxurious worlds.
