An infinity pool is a swimming pool which is positioned in such a way that merges with the horizon beyond, appearing particularly spectacular when appearing as part of the sea. While the Maldives is well known for its exquisite coral reefs and sea life, attention is also being given to some of its most impressive infinity pools.
