1.W Retreat Koh Samui, Thailand

You’ll be in the very heart of paradise here and you can swim in the private pool that comes with your villa or slum it for brunch with a view down in the communal pool.

2.Amangiri Utah resort

This is a luxury resort in probably the last place you would ever think of putting one. The pool makes you feel like you are swimming around the grand canyon and with the heat you’ll need to be in it drinking beers all day long.
