World’s Largest Pool At San Alfonso Del Mar Resort In Chile
The world largest pool record in Guinness World Record belongs to the vast pool beside the sea at the San Alfonso Del Mar resort in Chile where it covers more than 20 acres and clear water transparent to a depth of 35 meters and holds 66 million gallons of water.
Roughly equivalent to about 6,000 standard backyard pools, it took 5 years to build and cost nearly USD 2 billion and the annual maintenance is USD 4 million. Watch the video to feel what it’s like on the world largest pool.

Oh my gosh I think this is incredible! To be able to swim next to the ocean without worrying about jellyfish or the undertow of the ocean, yet still be able to hear the waves next to you Cheers to the scientists who was able to make a dream come true by using his intellect of formuals in order to keep this water crystal clear, this is amazing!!! I so badly want to go there. One day I will. And I dont see it as a waste, because it is actually as i understand from the ocean water itself. Great creation!

The reason to have a pool next to the ocean is becase the sea next to Chile is freeezing. The relatively shalow pool, on the other hand, is warmed by the sun so it is quite pleasant. I have been to the resort. It is great.

I wish it wasn’t salt water cuz i hate salt water. But it keeps it clean!
If you swam up and down 2 times every day you would be fit!
you could just sit there and soke up the sun too!
AMAZING IDEA WELL DONE!

It would suck if is not deep enought.

The pool is not a waste of water, it is filtered in straight from the ocean. They have it beside the ocean because you cannot swim in the ocean there due to large waves and very cold water. At it’s deepest point, it is 115 feet deep.

YOU CAN NOT GET IN TO THE OCEAN BECAUSE THE WATER IS TO COLD AND THE WAVE ARE TO BIG FOR SWIMMING ALL THE WATER IS COMING FROM THE OCEAN AND IT TOOK THEM 21 DAYS TO FILL IT UP.
