[World's 15 most spectacular swimming pools]14. The Park Hyderabad, India

 

This startlingly modern hotel in the city of ancient Muslim royalty boasts a pool intended to give a sense of swimming into a 3-D movie, with its infinity edge overlooking Hussian Saggar Lake.

The violet hue matches the furniture in a hotel which uses the regal color all over the place -- appropriately for a royal city.
