Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

The World Famous © Marina Bay Sands

Why? The infinity pool of the Marina Bay Sands could be called a classic rooftop pool. Because here you swim at the lofty height of 191 meters towards the city. With a length of 150 meters, it's also considered the largest of its kind. In the past, both, the pool and the rooftop garden were open to the public. That has changed due to the crowds. Currently, only hotel guests can swim in this attraction in Singapore. Top tip therefore: Stay for at least two nights. Because the number of guests who only spend one night here because of the pool is high. But they have to leave around noon the next day. And that is the ideal time to enjoy a deserted pool.
