An infinity pool is most certainly not your everyday swimming pool that you can easily find at any gym or standard hotels. They are, as a matter of fact, more expensive and, beyond the imagination, appealing than the usual ones. The name that it has been bestowed with is “Infinity Edge Pool” which is synonymous to disappearing edge or vanishing edge pool. Why this is the case is because infinity pools are constructed in a unique way that seems to give viewers or swimmers the impression that the water extends over to the edge of the pool, merging with its surrounding or landscape.
These pools are usually built atop of 5-star resorts, hotels, villas or other world-renowned places, usually situated alongside beaches and oceans. The reason why these pools are found in such high-profile places is because they are insanely expensive, and typically individuals like celebrities, entrepreneurs or business tycoons are its frequent visitors.
