If you fancy a dip in this pool, you'll need a head for heights - it's 55 storeys up. But swimming to the edge won't be quite as risky as it looks.
While the water in the infinity pool seems to end in a sheer drop, it actually spills into a catchment area where it is pumped back into the main pool. At three times the length of an Olympic pool and 650ft up, it is the largest outdoor pool in the world at that height.
It features in the impressive, boat-shaped 'Sky Park' perched atop the three towers that make up the world's most expensive hotel, the �4 billion Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore.
The hotel, which has 2,560 rooms costing from �350 a night, was officially opened on 24th June, 2010 with a concert by Diana Ross.
The Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, estimated to have cost �2 bn when it opened in 2004, was previously the world's most expensive hotel.
But with its indoor canal, opulent art, casino, outdoor plaza, convention centre, theatre, crystal pavilion and museum shaped like a lotus flower, the Marina Bay Sands has taken its crown.
