The best infinity pools in Abu Dhabi are unrivalled in their splendour.
We get all heart-eye emoji over any pool day, but when it comes to smashing shots for the ‘gram, only an infinity pool will do.
We’re talking cabanas, palm trees and, of course, that edge that never ends.
So, in the interest of research, we’ve soaked up the sun, got our hair wet and done all the poses to bring to you seven of the best infinity pools in Abu Dhabi.
To infinity, and the pool…
Anantara Eastern Mangroves
Overlooking the Eastern Mangroves, this is without doubt one of the best infinity pools in Abu Dhabi, and is just tops for those who love a bit of people watching (and wildlife, too) with kayakers, canoers, pedalos and boats navigating their way along the beautiful natural habitat. And should visitors get peckish, there are plenty of restaurants only a saunter away.

Andaz Capital Gate
This entry takes infinity pools to the next level (literally). Perched midway up the world’s furthest leaning man-made tower, Andaz Capital Gate’s pool is the highest place to have a dip in Abu Dhabi. With views that stretches out miles towards The Corniche, guests can chill out and take in the entire city skyline unimpeded.

Beach Rotana Hotel

Palm trees and infinity pools go hand-in-hand in Abu Dhabi, but The Beach Rotana takes this relationship to new heights with two palm trees smack-bang in the middle of the infinity pool. Wonderfully located for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre for a few hours, the best time to get snapped is at night, when the Abu Dhabi skyline lights up the dark sky. One of the best infinity pools in Abu Dhabi, undoubtedly.

Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers
What’s better than one infinity pool? Two infinity pools. At the Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers, pool appreciators have a choice where they wish to get their feet wet while gazing out towards the Arabian Gulf. And should the mood hit, visitors can visit Ray’s Bar afterwards for happy hour from 6pm to 9pm, available from Mondays to Thursdays.

Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Residences Emirates Pearl
If you’re after total relaxation in Abu Dhabi, you’d be well placed at Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel. At 50m and curved in nature, this boutique infinity pool doesn’t do straight lines, which means visitors get a different perspective from wherever they choose to relax.

Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi and Villas
The optical illusion provided by this infinity pool in Abu Dhabi gives visitors a real sense of, well, infinity. Standing at the hotel end of the pool, the Arabian Gulf meshes perfectly with the pool’s end, making it feel there really is oceans of water to enjoy – that’s if you can drag yourself from one of the comfortable cabanas that line the length of the Park Hyatt’s infinity pool. Need some sustenance? Head to the Beach House located only a few yards away for some fancy seafood grub.

Zaya Nurai Island
Forget about sharing one of the best infinity pools in Abu Dhabi with other people. At this island resort, every villa comes with its own infinity pool, which means you can take all the pics you want without any ‘inconsiderate’ loungers wrecking your vibe (and shot). That’s true luxury.
