The Link Infinity Pool at One&Only One Za'abeel
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The infinity pool at One&Only One Za'abeel sits above Dubai on The Link, the horizontal structure connecting the development's towers. Its elevated position creates a long perspective across the city, including the Burj Khalifa, with the waterline meeting a panorama of glass, roads and distant buildings. The setting makes contemporary engineering part of the swimming experience rather than merely a backdrop. The pool occupies Level 27 and is reserved for guests aged twenty-one and above. Its open skyline outlook gives it a different atmosphere from the hotel's landscaped Garden Pool lower down. Here, the emphasis is on the view and the sense of height, whether swimming, resting on the deck or watching the city shift towards evening. The pool and tower architecture are inseparable parts of the scene. Current access is exclusive to guests staying at One&Only One Za'abeel. Visitors should distinguish this from separately advertised Garden Pool day passes, which concern another pool. For hotel residents, The Link offers a distinctive pause between dining, wellness and exploring Dubai, with an urban horizon replacing the sea or mountains associated with more conventional infinity pools.
