The world's largest swimming pool

The Largest Swimming Pool in the World » TwistedSifter


San Alfonso Del Mar Resort, Chile. 8 hectares, 1 km in length. 250,000 cubic meters of salt water fill the pool. Equivalent of approximately 6,000 backyard pools. $1.5 billion to build. Maintenance fees $4 million a year. Not somewhere I have swum, but what a fantasy!

Update (22 Nov 2021): We visited Chile in March 2020. I investigated this pool to see whether it is worth a trip, but, sadly, it is only available to the residents of the condominiums and resort of which it is a part.
