I write from the Boscolo in Milan, a stunning boutique hotel that has amongst other things, one of the best hotel pools I’ve ever swam in. Goggles are embarrassingly, always the first thing I pack, part of my secret search for the best swimming pools in the world, but here are my Top 5 so far….Don’t forget your bikini!

1. The W Hotel Seoul. Over Looking South Korea’s Capital this Pool is perched on the top floor with its own outdoor ‘urban beach’ surrounding it.

2. The Bvlgari Hotel Bali. This tranquil infinity pool is the epitome of serenity.

3. The Boscolo Hotel Milan. Warm salt water sci-fi pool kind of trippy kind of relaxing.

 4. The Delano Hotel Miami- Float around on a lilo in this pool in the day and wicked pool parties by night.

5. Sky High Decadence at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. Perfect for Megalomaniacs.
