Aren’t they just made for each? A merger of Mother Nature and the cutting-edge architecture of a man-made pool create the calmest sea of blue to give an illusion of being able to swim forever into the horizon.
It’s an intoxicating experience and on arrival at your hotel be prepared for a jaw-dropping moment as you take in the view of the pool – seemingly suspended between the sea and sky.
Laze on sunbeds or submerged loungers and cool down in the water before drying off in a warm, gentle breeze. Lose yourself in a book written by your top author, read your favourite magazines and revel in a digital detox with time to chat and share your thoughts before drifting in a cheeky afternoon siesta.
When it’s time for sundowner there’s nowhere more romantic when the blue views fade to lilac, pink and gold before the clear night sky fills with stars and the moon reflects silver over the dark sea.
And guess what? The next day you can do it all over again!
