[World's 15 most spectacular swimming pools]5. Nandana Villa, Grand Bahama, Bahamas

 

 

Private and serene, the pool at Nandana seems to drop straight into the Atlantic and is the focal point of this Balinese-style property.

As it’s a private rental villa, the dramatic minimalism of the pool is not sullied by the clutter of dozens of loungers and parasols which line your average hotel pool; there are just half a dozen teak sun beds and three strategically placed palm trees.
