Singapore’s SkyPark infinity pool lets you swim to the edge of the world

  You’ve got to admire an architect who can take an ordinary hotel pool and turn it into a genuinely terrifying attraction.
The newly built Sands SkyPark in Singapore offers guests a place to cool off on the 55th floor, nearly 200 metres above ground. Featuring a disappearing edge, the infinity pool gives the illusion of water extending to the horizon, where it ends sharply and the city begins – a pants-filling experience for those afraid of heights.
This nifty innovation comes with a heavy price tag. The SkyPark forms the top platform of the world’s most expensive hotel, the $7 million Marina Bay Sands development.
If the pool doesn’t grab you, there are several other jaw-dropping architectural achievements to marvel over: the sloping towers, which curve by 26 degrees at the steepest point, for example, or the breakneck speed of construction, where one floor was completed every four days.
