It's gone from warm and pleasant seersucker weather to hot as hell outside. It's slogging through air so thick you need a machete and a shower every time you step outside hot. In times like these, you just want to laze in a pool. Specifically, in these positively perfect specimens.
While you're not picky, and you'd probably splash around in any body of water that presented itself, there are some really amazing pools out there, in resorts all over the world. These are some of the most unbelievable:
The Amangiri Resort is located in Canyon Point, Utah, and its pool curves around a giant 165 million-year-old sandstone rock. It looks quite literally like you're swimming in an oasis.

The Six Senses Yao Noi Resort was once a rubber plantation. Now it's a luxury getaway that commands ridiculous panoramas of Thailand's Phang Nga Bay. Plus, the pool has a slide. Who can argue with that?
