Aside from the hotel’s famed infinity pool with views overlooking the harbour, guests can also enjoy the lap pool and the hot and cold whirlpools. All the pools are fitted with underwater speakers to give you the most relaxing (and musical) swim ever. After a few laps, head to the deck and indulge in some light snacks, berry smoothies or frozen cocktails.

The pool is only accessible for in-house guests—what better excuse do you need to book a night at the hotel? Four Seasons is running a new "Summer Getaway" package this season, welcoming guests to enjoy a blissfully relaxing holiday break.
