The most beautifully designed residential and hotel swimming pools from across the world, featuring exclusive interviews with the designers who created them.

Few spaces capture the idea of escape quite like the swimming pool. Suspended above the sea, carved into a rocky coastline or hidden within a tropical garden, the world’s most beautiful pools are feats of architecture and landscape design as much as places to swim.

The Pool is a spectacular photographic journey through the most extraordinary swimming pools around the world. From cliffside retreats on the Amalfi Coast and infinity pools overlooking the jungles of South America, to tropical hideaways and the old-world glamour of legendary hotels such as Splendido in Portofino and La Mamounia in Marrakech, each pool offers its own vision of beauty, place and escape.

Bringing together exceptional private residences, destination hotels and architectural landmarks, the book features insights from leading architects, interior and landscape designers alongside stunning photography – exploring the relationship between water, architecture, landscape and light.

With hundreds of beautiful color images in a large-format edition, The Pool is an irresistible celebration of the world’s most seductive swimming pools and the extraordinary settings that surround them.
