The World’s Largest Swimming Pool

The World’s Largest Swimming Pool

Chile is home to a swimming pool so massive it holds 66 million gallons of seawater. It is equivalent in size to 6,000 standard backyard pools combined.

This record-breaking lagoon stretches over 3,300 feet in length, making it feel more like a private ocean than a pool. It uses a special filtration system to pump and treat water directly from the Pacific. Guests can actually sail small boats and kayaks across the crystal clear turquoise water. It remains one of the most stunning engineering feats in the world of luxury travel.
