Top Ten Luxury
Luxury Resorts with Mega-Pools
We aren't thinking about a nice neat kidney or square patch of blue here. We are talking serious water that wends its way around the outline of luxury suites and villas. Terracing, fountains, tunnels, and all manner of foliage and landscaping aren't out of the question. In fact, they are merely the beginnings of serious pool culture with swim-out suites and swim-up bars and who knows what next.
