With 365 days of sunshine (well nearly), swimming in Dubai’s many beaches or luxury pools are a favourite pastime among residents and tourists alike, which is why news of a new super-high swimming pool with unrivalled views of the emirate has had us reaching for our bathing suits.
The world’s first 700ft above street level infinity pool with 360-degrees views will be located on the 50th floor of the new The St Regis Dubai, The Palm hotel, which is targeted to open in 2018.

The competition, among hotels on the Palm, to standout is high (no pun intended), but it seems the St Regis Dubai, The Palm is certainly going all out to make a hotspot that tourists will definitely want to flock to.
The statement-making pool will border all four sides of the lavish tower, and will offer views of both the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s iconic skyline. Basically, it’s an Instagrammer and selfie lovers dream –#myview, #mydubai, #living.
