As the weather cools down in this part of the world, and outside living hasnt fully resumed just yet, a small part of me cant help but long for those lazy summer afternoons. When the climate is pleasantly warm not verging on uncomfortable sun almost kissing you into idle submission; agendas for the day are nothing more than suggestions, and theres really no guilt. Just moments and often times a body of water. Hell, sometimes you dont even need the excuse of weather to enjoy a well-placed pool the waters nice at any time of the year. But until the day when we can all live out those afternoons once again, here are the best pools around to world to daydream about/add to your bucket list/visually enjoy.

There are infinity pools, and then theres then theres the Anantara Golden Triangle infinity pool. This is where Id imagine heroes of mythology would would bathe to gain immortality/god-like properties.

For those of you more inclined to venture forth into a colder climate, theres always the steamy affair that is the Cambrian Hotel pool. Overlooking the Swiss Alps amid crystal-clear air and verdant meadows in the summer, this is a living, breathing postcard of an experience.

Famed for being not just one of the best swimming pools in the world, but also one of the largest once the definitive title holder just a few years prior. This baby is 1,013 metres long, covers 8 hectares, and contains approximately 250 million litres. Everything else is practically spoken for with the picture above.

Admittedly smaller than the majority of the list, the pool at Balis COMO Shambhala Estate deserves a spot on this best pool list all the same. Sometimes, you just want an escape thats virtually never crowded. Quite fitting considering this spot is also know as the Retreat for Change.

I bet you were expecting something from Bondi for the Aussie entrant. A solid contender, sure, but respect must be paid to this spot out in WA. Yet another opportunity to connect with nature.

Weve made no effort when it comes to hiding our love for Los Cabos. And the Viceroy resort has it all. Blending nature with modernity, visual art and function, the only thing that rivals the scenery here is the sense of relaxation that consumes you at the first dip.

This award-winning luxury boutique hotel offers guests an entire myriad of things. Chiefly among them are sweeping panoramic sea views that youll only find in this corner of Greece. Simply stunning.

What used to be an 11-century palace perched on a cliff overlooking the Amalfi coast is now one of the most indulgent European getaway spots perched on a cliff overlooking the Amalfi coast. And the pool, well lets just say we could pretty much end the list here. But we wont. Because we promised at least two more entrants.

Terrace and swimming pool combos will always be a winner in my books. If youve never had any desire to visit Cape Town before, its almost worth doing so purely for this pool.

Some people just feel more comfortable being in and amongst the urban sprawl. Hence why the Hotel Indigos skypool exists, quite literally hanging over the cityscape. Not for the faint of heart.
