Swimming pools are man-made simulations of the mother sea. Still, architecture and art collaborated to come up with a more creative idea, which is infinity pools. The infinity pool in most cases is built on a raised part of the ground that could be a hill or a hummock very close to an ocean, sea, or lake. One characteristic of big pools around the world is that they are of the infinity type, also called infinity-edge pool. Viewers see that the seawater starts where the pool ends. The desired effect is a flood of water that is going to infinity as its name indicates. The following are the top ten biggest pools in the world, and mostly they are of the infinity edge kind.
