13 Resorts With Incredible 24-Hour Pools

When you think of Punta Cana, a vacation destination in the Dominican Republic, you might picture shot-taking Americans getting turnt and burnt at an all-inclusive resort. But Westin Puntacana, located inside the 26-mile-long Puntacana Resort & Club on the island's eastern shore, is just the opposite: It's a serene spot with lots of sandy oceanfront, plenty of (a la carte) bars and bites, and multiple pools that stay open all night long. Enjoy a day of paddleboarding, relaxing in the spa, playing golf or tennis, or lagoon-hopping in the Ojos Indigenas Ecological Reserve, and cap it all off with a late-night swim.

Ever heard of Cecilia, the patron saint of poetry and music? She's finally getting the credit she deserves with this 14-room estate in Austin, TX, which blends retro rock-and-roll vibes with classic Southern hospitality. Funky antiques, original artwork, and modern furniture are scattered around the secluded hotel, and the signature heated pool is open all night. As you can see, it's got plenty of soul.

A visit to Paradise wouldn't be complete without your very own plunge pool, right? The tiny Nevis' Paradise Beach Resort comprises just seven two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas, and each comes with its own pebble-lined private pool featuring views of scampering vervet monkeys and nearby Mount Nevis. In February, the resort will debut five new beach houses raised on stilts over the beach — each with its own copper plunge pools outfitted with opal, teal, and azure tiles. As if that didn't sound heavenly enough: your stay comes with 24/7 concierge service, so you can order whatever, whenever. Sold.

How about an indoor dip? In San Francisco (where the weather's not always pool-friendly anyway), this 50-foot saltwater oasis is open all night long. It's connected to the hotel's Remède Spa, and the minimalist space still boasts 360-degree views of SF, low-slung lounge furniture, comfy pillow-topped window seats, and a poolside menu. Lovely for laps — or just splashing around.

This adults-only, all-inclusive boutique resort feels like a hidden oasis: There are just 19 secluded bures (Fijin for home) and villas dotting the tropical gardens and overlooking the turquoise sea. In addition to a whole raft of activities (from snorkeling to paddleboarding to horseback riding), guests have all-night access to two large pools. Craving a little privacy for your late-night dip? Several of the villas and bures come with their own infinity or plunge pools.

Guests can jump into this resort's two infinity-edge pools anytime, day or night. It's also a great spot for watching the sunrise and kicking off the day with a brisk swim. B Ocean Resort (which debuted in June 2017 after a top-to-bottom renovation) is right on the beach and offers plenty of swimspiration: it's home to the world-famous Wreck Bar, which hosts weekly live mermaid shows.

When you book a room at this boutique hotel, you get 24-hour access to its 23 (yes, 23!) natural hot spring pools. The soaking pools are terraced into the land along the San Juan river, and they each offer different views, designs, and temperatures. The natural spring that feeds mineral water into all 23 is the world's deepest geothermal hot spring: it goes more than 1,000 feet into the earth. Climb in, lean back, and let that sink in — literally and figuratively.

Talk about a dream getaway: this private island resort features 27 oceanside rooms and suites tucked inside bungalows, cottages, and peak-roofed beach houses. You can fish, snorkel, or just beach all day, and all guests have 24/7 access to the pool. The best part: there's a tiki bar between the pool and beach that operates on the honor system — so, yes, you can serve yourself a drink anytime. Nightcap, anyone?

This resort is grand indeed, with more than 600 guest rooms on 50 oceanfront acres and that glamorous Hawaiian feel associated with the 1920s: think open-air walkways, lush courtyards and gardens, and palm trees gently swaying in the breeze. The swimming area is a doozy, with a freshwater lazy river, water volleyball, an "action" pool with waterslides, and three Jacuzzis (in addition to the 500-yard white-sand beach). Night owls, take note: the whole thing is practically deserted by 10 p.m., so you can relax under the stars and have the place almost to yourself.

At this luxury hotel, which opened last December as part of the expansive Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta complex, many of the rooms have a private outdoor patio complete with a tiled plunge pool — so you can swim at your leisure. The plunge pools are decked out with iridescent pearl tiles and offer jaw-dropping views of the Pacific's Banderas Bay, too.

Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas sits on the hilltop on Costa Rica's unspoiled Guanacaste peninsula. There's plenty for adventure-seekers to do both in and out of the water, thanks to great swimming, snorkeling, kayaking in the swells, and lovely hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails ribboning the area's tropical forests and hills. Thing is, you might not ever want to leave home base: each of the 21 private villas at this exotic escape comes with a personal saltwater plunge pool.

It's no coincidence that Elizabeth Gilbert headed to the Balinese district of Ubud for the "love" portion of her Eat, Pray, Love journey. The area, renowned for its emerald-green rice paddies, beautiful temples, and eye-popping rivers, valleys, and jungle, turns even the hard-hearted traveler into the heart-eyes emoji. Mandapa is built around the rushing Ayung River, and all of its one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas comes with a private outdoor area featuring a lush tropical garden, an outdoor shower, and, of course, a big infinity pool. (There's also 24-hour butler service, so you can round out a late-night swim with a snack, drink, or whatever your little heart desires.)

You didn't think we'd forget Sin City, did you? This glam, grown-up hotel has an open-air rooftop with private cabanas and a pool that (much like the crazy city around it) never closes. The WET Deck, as it's called, offers gorgeous views of the blinky city and the desert mountains, and it's dotted with cool art from local and international photographers and muralists. Celebrate your big win at the blackjack table with a few victory laps, or swim off that utter poker fail.
