We Take You To 10 Incredible Natural Pools

They are dream places where swimming is much more than just fun or a sport, it is a real pleasure for the senses. We dive into incredible natural pools that seem fantasy. Put on your swimsuit and get ready to enjoy dream places.

1. Incredible natural pools : Fairy Pools, Scotland

Scotland, specifically the Isle of Skye, hides a place that seems to be inhabited by goblins and magical characters. Hence its name, which translated means “pools of fairies.” Some pools with crystalline waters and spectacular beauty. Although yes, if you want to bathe in them you must bear in mind that the water is somewhat “cool”, even in summer.

2. Pammukale, Turkey

Much less impressive, in terms of temperature, is bathing in Pamukkale. These are incredible natural pools of hot springs.  Here, the white of the limestone rock contrasts with the intense blue of the mineral-rich water. A spectacular image, especially from a distance, when the terraces on which the pools are located are appreciated.

3. Cenote Ik Kil, Mexico

The cenotes are freshwater wells that arose from erosion in the limestone rock. In the Yucatan area, in Mexico, there are several, but Ik Kil is one of the largest, most beautiful and most visited. Surrounded by greenery at the top, you have to go down some stairs to reach the water, which promises a spectacular dip in a mystical place.

4. Krka, Croatia

Croatia’s Plitvice Lakes are well known, but the Krka National Park has nothing to envy. Not only will you see free-flowing streams, beautiful waterfalls and lagoons, but bathing is allowed here. The designated area is the pool right at the foot of one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the park, Skradin.

5. Haminton Pool, United States

This fabulous natural pool arose when the dome of an underground river collapsed. It is in Austin, in Texas, and it is a unique place. It is protected by incredible walls and a kind of semi-crest through which waterfalls fall. Bathing is only allowed when the water conditions are right, but just seeing this pool is worth it.

6. To Sua Ocean Trench, Samoa

Another one of those incredible natural pools that are below ground level and are fascinating. To Sua means “giant hole”, and it really is. To reach its crystal clear waters you have to descend no less than 30 meters, but bathing in this place is truly unforgettable.

7. Grotta of Poetry, Italy

It is one of our incredible natural pools due to its beauty and its legend. He says that a beautiful princess bathed in it and that many poets went there to compose verses for her, hence its name. A pool dug by the sea that is located in Roca Vecchia, on the shores of the Adriatic.

8. Gulpiyuri, Spain

In Asturias we find this beautiful corner, a natural pool with a small beach. Gulpiyuri is one of those special places, because of its beauty and because, despite being inland, the water is salty. Water that reaches it from the coast through a kind of underground tube. One of those wonderful whims of nature.

9. Devil’s Pool, Zimbabwe

To bathe in this pool you have to have courage, a lot of courage. And is that the “devil’s pool” is right on the edge of the impressive Victoria Falls. The rock acts as a parapet and you can watch the water fall, but it is only possible to bathe when the river flow is low. Fun or recklessness?

10. Queen’s Bath, Hawaii

The “Queen’s Bath” is one of the many attractions on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii. A small but beautiful natural pool between volcanic rocks, protected by them from the fury of the ocean. But only in summer, in winter the waves hit this beautiful corner with force. Still, it is worth visiting, the contrast between the turquoise of the waters and the gray of the rock is almost hypnotic.
