The short answer: the highest hotel infinity pool you can swim in is the TATTU Sky Pool at Ciel Dubai Marina, about 310 metres up on the 76th floor of the world's tallest hotel, which opened in November 2025. Just below it, Address Beach Resort still holds the Guinness record for the highest outdoor infinity pool at 293.9 metres. Four of the five highest sit in Dubai; Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is the highest elsewhere.

We may earn a commission when you book through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. Rankings are editorial and never sold. Pool heights, record dates and access rules below were checked against each property's own published information, Guinness World Records and reputable dated sources in June 2026. As a concierge knows, "highest" splits into categories, so we print the figure, name who certified it, and say who has since been overtaken.
"World's highest infinity pool" is a title that keeps moving, because height records fall the moment a taller tower opens, and because "highest" quietly splits into sub-categories: highest of all, highest outdoor, highest 360-degree, largest rooftop. This ranking sorts purely by verified metres above ground, prints the height, names the record each pool actually holds, and flags where a hotel's claim is its own marketing rather than an independent certification. We rank pools you can genuinely swim in as a guest or day visitor, and we say plainly who gets in. After fifteen years of Dubai towers leapfrogging one another, the order changed again only last winter.

How we ranked and verified this
We rank by verified height above ground, because that is what "highest" actually measures, and a separate Hotels for Kings guide already covers the prettiest and largest pools. Every height and record date was checked against the property's own site, Guinness World Records or a reputable dated source in June 2026. Where a hotel's "highest" claim is its own marketing rather than an independent certification, we say so, and we distinguish the overall height leader from the specific Guinness-certified outdoor record. Because the point of a pool is swimming in it, we note for each whether it is open to hotel guests only or also to paid day-pass visitors.
The ranked list
1
Dubai Marina, Dubai, UAE
Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection
~310 m up · 76th floor · reported world's highest infinity pool, 2025
Why it's number one: it raised the ceiling on the whole category. Ciel Dubai Marina, part of IHG's Vignette Collection, opened in November 2025 and was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest hotel, rising 377 metres across 82 floors above Dubai Marina. Its TATTU Sky Pool sits on the 76th floor at roughly 310 metres, reported as the world's highest infinity pool and overtaking the long-standing Address Beach Resort mark of 293.9 metres. The vanishing edge reads out over the Marina, Palm Jumeirah and the Gulf from higher than any other swimmable hotel pool on earth.
Who it's for: travellers who want the current height record and a brand-new flagship tower with eight restaurants and a Level-61 spa. What to book: a room at Ciel Dubai Marina, where the sky pool is reserved for in-house guests; the hotel is bookable on cash or IHG One Rewards points.
Honest note: the "world's highest infinity pool" line is carried by the hotel and recent coverage rather than a separate Guinness pool certificate, the standing Guinness outdoor infinity-pool record still sits with Address Beach Resort, and as the newest super-tall tower, expect this title itself to be challenged before long.

Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai, UAE
Address Beach Resort
293.9 m up · 77th floor · Guinness highest outdoor infinity pool, 2021
Why it's here: it still holds the certified record everyone quotes. The infinity pool on the 77th floor of Address Beach Resort in Dubai was certified by Guinness World Records in March 2021 as the highest outdoor infinity pool in a building, at 293.9 metres, about 964 feet, with a wet surface of roughly 560 square metres and a swimmable stretch near 95 metres. The vanishing edge looks straight down at Palm Jumeirah, Ain Dubai and the Marina, which is the whole reason to swim this high.
Who it's for: travellers who want the headline Guinness pool and a full beach-resort base on JBR rather than a brand-new tower. What to book: a stay at Address Beach Resort, or check the paid 77th-floor pool day pass, which is sold separately to non-guests at times.
Honest note: it has now been topped on raw height by Ciel Dubai Marina, so the unqualified "world's highest" claim no longer holds, and the altitude that makes the view also means wind and capped capacity high above the beach.

Downtown Dubai, Dubai, UAE
Address Sky View
~220 m up · 54th floor · sky-bridge infinity pool, ~70 m long
Why it's here: it puts a pool inside an engineering set-piece. Address Sky View's infinity pool sits on the 54th floor at roughly 220 metres, set within the 85-metre sky bridge that links the development's twin towers in Downtown Dubai. The pool runs about 70 metres, and its infinity edge is deliberately aimed at the Burj Khalifa, so you swim toward the world's tallest building from a bridge suspended between two towers.
Who it's for: travellers who want a Downtown Dubai base steps from the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, with a genuinely unusual pool. What to book: a room at Address Sky View, where the sky-bridge pool is reserved for hotel guests; ask for a room on the tower side facing the Burj Khalifa.
Honest note: it is lower than the JBR and Marina record pools, the sky-bridge deck is a shared guest space that can get busy at sunset, and the showpiece Burj Khalifa view means the best loungers go quickly.

The Palm Tower, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE
AURA Skypool
~200 m up · level 50 · world's highest 360° infinity pool
Why it's here: it owns a record the others can't claim. AURA Skypool, on level 50 of The Palm Tower at roughly 200 metres, is recognised as the world's first and highest 360-degree infinity pool, wrapping a full circuit of open water around the top of the tower with uninterrupted views of Palm Jumeirah, the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa and Ain Dubai. Unusually for a record pool, it runs as a timed-session venue, so day visitors can swim it without booking a room.
Who it's for: travellers who want the wraparound Palm view and a pool they can visit on a day pass rather than only as a guest. What to book: a timed AURA day-pass session, or a stay in The Palm Tower, which houses the St. Regis Dubai, The Palm on its lower floors.
Honest note: it is lower than the three pools above, it is run as a busy, scheduled leisure venue rather than a quiet hotel pool, and peak sunset slots sell out and carry a minimum spend.

Marina Bay, Singapore
Marina Bay Sands
191 m up · Level 57 · 150 m long · world's largest rooftop infinity pool
Why it's here: it is the most famous infinity pool on earth, and the highest outside Dubai. The pool crowning the SkyPark on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands stretches 150 metres across the tops of the hotel's three towers, 191 metres above Singapore, and holds the record for the world's largest rooftop infinity pool. Its vanishing edge appears to spill straight into the skyline, and for most travellers it is the picture that defined the whole genre.
Who it's for: travellers for whom the pool is the reason to book the hotel, and who want the skyline-edge photograph at dawn before the crowds. What to book: any Marina Bay Sands room, since the SkyPark pool is reserved strictly for in-house guests; the observation deck is sold separately but does not include swimming.
Honest note: it is lower than the Dubai pools and wins on length rather than height, it gets genuinely crowded in daylight, and there is no day-pass swimming at all.

Why does the "highest infinity pool" record keep changing?
Because it is tied to towers, and towers keep getting taller. Each new super-tall hotel in Dubai has an incentive to build a record-seeking pool near its summit, so the headline height climbs every few years: Address Beach Resort took the certified outdoor record in 2021 at 293.9 metres, and Ciel Dubai Marina pushed the overall figure to about 310 metres when it opened in late 2025. On top of that, "highest" fragments into categories, highest outright, highest outdoor, highest 360-degree, largest rooftop, so several hotels can each hold a true but narrow version of the title at once. The honest way to read any "world's highest infinity pool" headline is to check the exact wording, the height in metres, the date it was certified, and whether a taller tower has opened since. On raw height in 2026, the answer is Ciel Dubai Marina; on the standing Guinness outdoor certificate, it is still Address Beach Resort.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the highest infinity pool in the world?
- As of 2026 it is the TATTU Sky Pool on the 76th floor of Ciel Dubai Marina, which opened in November 2025 as the world's tallest hotel. The pool sits about 310 metres above ground and is reported as the world's highest infinity pool, overtaking Address Beach Resort in Dubai, which held the Guinness record at 293.9 metres.
- Is the Address Beach Resort pool still a world record holder?
- Yes, for a specific category. Address Beach Resort in Dubai still holds the Guinness World Record, certified in March 2021, for the highest outdoor infinity pool in a building, at 293.9 metres on the 77th floor. Ciel Dubai Marina's higher pool surpasses it on raw height, but the standing Guinness certification for an outdoor infinity pool remains with Address Beach Resort until a new one is certified.
- What is the world's highest 360-degree infinity pool?
- AURA Skypool, on level 50 of The Palm Tower in Dubai about 200 metres up, is recognised as the world's first and highest 360-degree infinity pool, offering uninterrupted wraparound views of Palm Jumeirah, the Burj Khalifa and Ain Dubai. It is open to day-pass visitors as well as hotel guests in the tower, unlike most record pools.
- Can you swim in these high infinity pools without staying at the hotel?
- It varies. AURA Skypool sells timed day passes to non-guests, and Address Beach Resort has at times sold a paid pool day pass for its 77th-floor pool. Ciel Dubai Marina, Address Sky View and Marina Bay Sands generally reserve their pools for in-house guests. Always confirm current access and any minimum spend directly with the property before booking for the pool alone.
- Why are so many of the highest infinity pools in Dubai?
- Dubai combines a cluster of super-tall towers built in the last fifteen years with a hospitality industry that competes openly on records, so developers design record-seeking pools into new towers as a marketing draw. Four of the five highest hotel infinity pools sit in Dubai; Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is the main rival from outside the UAE.
- Is Marina Bay Sands the highest infinity pool?
- No. The famous Marina Bay Sands pool in Singapore sits 191 metres up on Level 57 and holds the record for the world's largest rooftop infinity pool at 150 metres long, but it is lower than the Dubai pools on this list. It is the highest major hotel infinity pool outside Dubai, and the most famous of them all.
