TRAVEL COLLAGE: 15 PICTURE-PERFECT POOLS AROUND THE WORLD


The pool at St. Regis Bahia Beach in Puerto Rico is stunning! | Ms. Toody Goo Shoes
Puerto Rico: St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort




Are you a beach or a pool person?

I can answer without hesitation that the beach is my clear preference.
However, when the real-feel temperatures soar north of 100 degrees,
sometimes even the beach can be too hot. 
I don't like going into the ocean to cool off, so unless there's a breeze,
I'm much more comfortable in a pool
(emphasis on IN the pool).

Last weekend, we had a record-breaking heat wave in this part of the country.
There's no pool here, and driving to the beach on a Saturday or Sunday 
wasn't even a thought --
the traffic would be INSANE.
 The only way to stay cool was to be inside with the air-conditioning blasting,
 and doing some arm-chair pool hopping around the world.

  1. Yes to any of those! I prefer a pool for swimming but nothing beats walking on the beach around sunrise and sunset.

  2. I can not even remember the last time I have been swimming. But I love the smell of pools and the laughter of children at our city pool. It's SO summertime. All those pools look inviting. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

  3. Ah, for me, I think Martha's vineyard, not for the pool itself, but the great location for sight-seeing!

  4. I'm ready to fall into every single one of these photos! And yes, I'm with Sandi -- Martha's Vineyard -- even without a pool!

  5. OHHH,AAHHH...it is too hard to choose. Probably #6 because of the privacy but I could get over my self-concious self for number 9 in Italy! St. Maarten looks lovely but having had a close call with a Nude beach there, I would be reluctant :-)

  6. Amy, I would skip the human aquarium and my favorite would be Martha's Vineyard. I'd like to take a sail and afterwards hop in the pool at the harbor to cool off. Thanks for the tour around the world's pools and stay cool!

  9. All of your pool photos are gorgeous. I can't choose a favorite, but would love to visit each of them.

  10. Without a doubt, number 2! But number 11 is very pretty too. Then again, there's number 9. As long as I'm armchair swimming I might as well try all of them!
