Cambodia, Song Saa
The ideal romantic getaway, this ultra-luxurious, environmentally aware private resort is only a 40-minute speedboat ride from the Cambodian mainland. Song Saa is the perfect retreat for offshore adventurers. Song Saa is made up of two interconnecting private islands nestled in a green jungle setting among a bright blue ocean – the adjacent crystal-clear waters have been designated marine reserves.
Why you would find it appealing
Most of the infinity pools in the list give the impression that they are out at sea, but those at Song Saa are. The 27 eco-friendly villas at the resort each have a private plunge pool having a stunning turquoise view of waves off the coast of Cambodian. You don’t have to pick between seeing the dawn or the sunset since the primary pool is skillfully constructed to span both the west and east sides of the island.
Sri Lanka, Tri

Why you would find it appealing
A fantastic vantage position to take in an uninterrupted view of the calm environment is provided by the infinity pool’s long extension towards the lake and the cantilevered structure’s appearance of blending into the coastline. The pool employs ionizing filters rather than chlorine treatments in line with the resort’s emphasis on wellness, further enhancing its reputation as a healthy getaway.
