Until recently, one of the pools at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore held a singular record: located on the 57th floor of the tower, 250 meters high, it
was the tallest pool in the world
.
But this brand
has just been dethroned
, with a figure certified by the Guinness Book of Records itself.
Since last March 24, the highest swimming pool in the world is the one at the
Address Beach Resort in
Dubai,
United Arab Emirates
, and it is almost 294 meters high.
To be exact,
293.90 meters
.
More figures: the infinity pool at the Address Beach Resort -the hotel opened last December- measures
94.84 meters long by 16.5 wide
and has a maximum depth of 1.2 meters, which offers about 500 m3 of water.
The pool is on the 77th floor. Photo Address Beach Resort.
It is located at the top of an
impressive hotel complex
made up of two 77-story twin towers that offer 217 rooms and suites, 443 apartments with tourist services and another 478 residential ones.
The skyscraper, the hotel, the fountain ... and the records follow
The one with this pool is one more mark in the long list of
world records that this Arab emirate has been accumulating
- for several years working in order to position itself among the best tourist destinations - and that arouse the admiration of many lovers of figures.

Let's see: Dubai boasts, among other brands not surpassed so far,
the tallest skyscraper in the world
-the Burj Khalifa tower, with 828 meters-, the
highest
Ferris wheel or
round the world
-Ain Dubai, which rotates until it rises 250 meters from the ground - the highest hotel -Gevora Hotel, with 75 floors totaling 356 meters- and the largest water fountain in the world: the “Palm Fountain”, which has 1,335 square meters and is located on the Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island created on the waters of Dubai.
Comfortably submerged in its waters, in fact, you can see some of these constructions, as well as
great sunsets and panoramic views
of the beaches, the marina and the islands of Bluewater, Palm Jumeirah and the Islands of the World.
A new record for a country that builds high and high.

The Address Beach Resort pool is exclusively for guests over 21 years of age (there are two others, one on the ground floor and a third special for families) but be careful, because
the general public is allowed access to the terrace restaurant
, the Zeta Seventy Seven, specializing in Asian cuisine.
Without a doubt, a dinner outdoors near the pool and with that spectacular view must be
an unforgettable experience
