If you consider swimsuit season a year-round affair, these incredible hotel pools are for you.<\/p>\n

Plus: Check out Las Vegas’s craziest pool parties.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Golden

Golden Nugget’s shark chute<\/p><\/div>\n

1. Every week is Shark Week at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino<\/a> in Las Vegas. Their award-winning pool features an enormous shark tank and aquarium with a three-story waterslide running through it. Don\u2019t worry, you won\u2019t actually be swimming with the fishes: The tank is completely enclosed, though it makes for a wild view.<\/p>\n

\"Grand

Grand Wailea<\/p><\/div>\n

2. The Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort<\/a> in Maui has nine pools on six different levels that are connected by a river that carries swimmers along white water rapids and lazy currents. Feeling ambitious? Try out everything those six levels have to offer, including four jungle pools, four water slides, six waterfalls, three Jacuzzis, a Tarzan pool with a rope swing, a sand beach, and the world\u2019s first water elevator to take you back to the top of the pool complex after you\u2019ve slid or swam to the bottom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday

Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao<\/p><\/div>\n

3. The indoor\/outdoor pool at the Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiaon<\/a> affords a pretty unforgettable view\u2014if you’re not afraid of heights. The cantilevered pool, located on the hotel’s 24th floor, extends 30-feet over the side of the building, so its glass bottom affords breathtaking (literally!) views of the street below.<\/p>\n

\"Blue

Blue Lagooon, Iceland<\/p><\/div>\n

3. OK, this one in\u00a0Reykjavik, Iceland<\/a> is not exactly a hotel pool, though there is a clinic hotel onsite and plenty of comfy nearby options<\/a>. Instead, the world-famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is described as \u201ca hot tub on the moon.\u201d It’s set inside a lava field where its pale blue water maintains a constant temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thanks to the geothermal plant nearby. Many visit the lagoon for the silica-rich mud that\u2019s said to work wonders for your skin, but the stunning views of the volcanic rock surrounding the pool make this a little more special than your average spa day.<\/p>\n
