MUST SEE! The World’s Biggest Swimming Pool – It’s 1/2 Mile Long and 20 Acres!

The trouble with most swimming pools is that they’re normally just a little bit too small, aren’t they? Even the biggest ones you find could always be just that wee bit larger. That’s not a problem for the people who stay at the the exclusive San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile. Not one bit. You see, their pool’s pretty big. Like, 1/2 mile long-type big. Like 20 acres big.

You’ll love this.

Let’s start with a rather spectacular aerial view…

It’s thought that the total costs involved in building the pool reached $1.5bn. That’s right, that’s ‘bn’, not ‘m’!

You won’t be surprised to learn that it holds the record as the largest swimming pool in the world.

The water filtration system needs to be a bit of a beast to cope with it all. Which explains why it cost more than $3.5m!

And even if you ignore the pool (which is admittedly, pretty difficult!), the rest of the resort looks pretty great too!
