#2 San Alfonso del Mar Resort | Algarrobo, Chile
One of the largest in the world, San Alfonso del Mar seawater pool is so big you can kayak and sail on it. As far as the world records go, it now plays second fiddle to the even more massive crystal lagoons at city stars Sharm El-Sheikh's project in Egypt.
But 871,000 and 200 square feet of water is still nothing to scoff at. The private resort's 66 million gallons of turquoise waters span a staggering 20 acres and reach a depth of 115 feet. So you can even scuba dive. While its location right next to the actual sea seems to defeat the purpose a bit. But the pool's crystal clear waters remain calm and warm all year round.
