From Lake Como to the Savannah, these are the world’s best hotels with swimming pools

Surrounded by palms and soundtracked by birdsong, you'd be hard pushed to find a more peaceful or picturesque pool than the one at Amanbagh hotel in India - (Amanbagh, India)

Whether it’s an infinity pool that appears to melt into the Caribbean landscape, a snaking cliffside affair in Greece or one which looks out across the African Savannah, a refreshing dip in a memorable swimming pool can tip a hotel stay from brilliant to unforgettable.

Some swimming spots float on shimmering lakes, some slosh over infinity edges towards a sea view, blurring the edges of the horizon, while others are set in jungly surrounds soundtracked by lilting birdsong. Whatever the surroundings, nothing says luxury travel like a beautifully appointed swimming pool.
