Best Luxury Hotels with Private Plunge Pools

Private plunge pools are a hot new commodity in luxury travel, whether at a hotel, resort, or villa. This ultimate amenity was once the reserve of luxury rooftop suites or super-luxury villas, but have become an increasingly common feature in many different room types and resort styles. Private plunge pools are popping up in beachfront villas, city retreats, and even mountain getaways. Private villa decks, leafy green enclaves, rooftop suites, and sunbathing decks are just a few of the places plunge pools are now available. There's no sharing the pool or lounge chairs with anyone else, and the pools come in saltwater and freshwater options, and can feature cool refreshing or heated waters. Views from plunge pools can include volcanos, golf resorts, mountains, lush green gardens, deserts, cityscapes, and the blue waters of the ocean. You can even order room service, and the more daring can try a skinny dip or two.
