Choosing a hotel with the best swimming just got easier for visitors to Turks and Caicos. The First of the Caribbean”ocean poolgives travelers eager to find the most unique resorts available an even more exciting option than choosing between an oceanfront room and the property with the best pool.
The Wymara Resort + Villas has taken sunbathing a step further by introducing the island’s first hybrid swim option that combines the simplicity of a pool with the natural beauty of the ocean. This “pool in the ocean” consists of an almost invisible wall that separates the resort’s maintained pool from the rest of the ocean.
During high tide, guests can take advantage of the best version of the illusion when the pool’s sculpted rock walls are often completely covered. This usually makes them appear to be swimming in the open ocean, although they are still protected from drifting too far by the barrier just below the surface.
For the rest of the day, the pool offers a breathtaking alternative to even the most minimalist traditional pools. While the pool doesn’t transition so seamlessly into the ocean at this point, it still offers a unique experience by putting swimmers right next to the waves.
When swimmers need a break from the water, they can enjoy the adjacent tiki bar and deck filled with lounge chairs, as well as the beach club, fitness center, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, spa, and other resort amenities.
In-ocean pools first became popular all over Australia and they are starting to pop up in other popular tropical tourist destinations.
This extra-aesthetic swimming option may still be new to the Caribbean, but being the first to add one makes the Wymara Resort + Villas a worthwhile stay for visitors to the picturesque beaches and reefs of Turks and Caicos !
