Dubai unveils the tallest 360-degree infinity pool in the world

Over the years, Dubai has mastered the art of breaking world records, and now, it adds yet another achievement to its list.

The world's first and highest 360-degree infinity pool has just opened at Palm Tower, a stunning hotel and residential complex by Nakheel, offering breathtaking views of Dubai's skyline.

Perched 200 meters above ground, the Aura Skypool spans a 750-square-meter deck on the 50th floor of the St. Regis Dubai, a new landmark in Palm Jumeirah.

Unmatched panoramic vistas

Known as 'an island in the sky,' this exclusive space offers VIP sun beds, a lounge area, and a bar serving cocktails and tapas.

Visitors eager to swim in the deep, blue-tiled pool can choose from morning or sunset sessions, while day passes are available for those with more time.

'Aura is truly one of a kind, both in the UAE and worldwide,' said Antonio Gonzalez, CEO of Sunset Hospitality, the company behind the infinity pool.

World record breaker

Boasting 360-degree views of some of the world’s most famous landmarks, from Palm Jumeirah (celebrating its 20th anniversary this year) to Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and Ain Dubai, this breathtaking destination perfectly captures the essence of Dubai.

The opening of Aura Skypool follows the launch of The View at The Palm, a 240-meter-high observation deck on the 52nd floor, as well as the debut of the Middle East's first SushiSamba restaurant in the same tower.

Meanwhile, the world’s tallest infinity pool inside a building, standing 293.906 meters above ground on the 77th floor of the Address Beach Resort at Dubai's Jumeirah Gate, earned a place in the Guinness World Records earlier this year.

Unlike Aura Skypool, this pool is exclusively available to hotel guests aged 21 and older. However, diners who reserve a table at the Zeta Seventy Seven rooftop restaurant, located directly across from the pool, can enjoy the spectacular view and get an up-close look at the record-breaking pool.
