The expansive, influencer-friendly infinity pool has had its day in the sun. These days, it’s all about the private plunge pool, a splendid little tub you can dip in and out of as routinely as your morning coffee or afternoon nap, and more and more hotels have been embracing this exclusive amenity. The plunge pool takes the private terrace to the next level, affording you a moment of relaxation away from the crowds, whether you want to savor the view solo or enjoy a nightcap under the moonlight with a partner.
No matter your travel style, there’s a plunge pool to be found (and subsequently submerged in) across dreamy accommodations around the world, from a tented pavilion in the Australian outback to an all-inclusive resort suite in Punta Cana. Here are some of our favorite hotels that allow you to swim from the comfort of your hotel room—because sometimes we all crave a solitary splash.
