The San Alfonso del Mar Swimming Pool in Algarrobo, Chile, is the biggest swimming pool in the world. The enormous crystalline water pool of San Alfonso del Mar measures over one kilometer in length. It covers eight hectares and holds 250 million liters of water. That's the same size as six thousand 8-meter long swimming pools! What makes San Alfonso all the more magnificent is the quality of its water, which is as crystal clear as any tropical seas. This is achieved by an advanced patented technology developed by its proprietor, Crystal Lagoon, which not only keeps the water as clear as glass, but also maintain the water temperature. Even in the coolest of winters, the water of San Alfonso del Mar keeps to around 26°C, a good nine degrees above that of the Pacific Ocean, just a stone's throw away. At San Alfonso, guests enjoy private beaches with their own boat docks within an artificial tropical environment, complete with white sand and swaying palm trees. On particularly cold days, guests can escape to the roofed beach to enjoy heated sand, bubble beds and water-jet massage.
