With January safely behind us, surely we have seen the worst of the cold dreary weather and can look forward to spring just around the corner? Maybe, but probably not! So in order to lift and heat up our spirits, Aquabatix has consulted its little black book of the most glamorous swimming pools in the Middle East and put together a shortlist of incredible venues for your holiday or party destination.
Where glamour and luxury go hand in hand, these swimming pools invite you to swim by day and sip cocktails overlooking the moonlit waters by night. When swimming pools look this good, maybe you should leave the splashing around to the entertainment.
