infinity pool

Vanishing-edge swimming spot

An infinity pool is a swimming pool designed so that water flows over one or more edges into a catch basin below, creating the visual illusion that the water extends to the horizon.

The effect is most dramatic when the pool overlooks an ocean, valley, or skyline: The resort's infinity pool seemed to merge with the sea.

Also called a vanishing edge pool or negative edge pool.
