The advent of infinity pools have not only created a niche for the particular variety of swimming pools but redefined many popular hotel recreational facility design principles as well. The main feature of an infinity pool is, of course, its reflective and edge-less nature. Although the water within the infinity pool is contained much in the same manner as a traditional pool, the visual illusion an infinity pool creates makes the edges seem without boundaries with water teetering on the edge of the pool and appearing to flow outward.
Some of the best examples of such infinity pools can be seen at Maldives island resorts across the archipelago which includes getaways such as Kuramathi Island Resort. One of the key highlights at some of the resorts is the fact that the infinity pool is in proximity to the beach or ocean nearby; this creates the illusion that the pools, in fact, blend seamlessly with the water of the sea in simple clear lines.
In spite of the design concept originating in France, it is beach hotspots the likes of Maldives that have capitalised on the model and incorporated it to highlight the resort’s integration with the pristine environment around it. Although its beauty is undeniable, the cost of constructing infinity pools comes at a high price; however, this is well worth it as it is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves to heighten the resort’s overall impression on guests. Many resorts now even offer guests a variety of pool villas as well, an extension of the property’s best structural and recreational feature.
