Guests at luxurious hotel The Library in Thailand’s beautiful Koh Samui would be hard-pressed to stroll past the stunning feature pool without stopping to admire — or gasp — at the design. Not only is it situated overlooking 50 metres of pristine beachfront and sparkling blue ocean but the vivid scarlet colour of the pool itself is effortlessly eye-catching.

Red, orange and yellow Italian glass mosaic tiles give the pool its striking colour, contrasting the area brilliantly against the alabaster white hotel and deep blue sea. It is a design that demands attention. Streamlined and modern, the clean lines of this rectangular 20m x 12m pool give it a sophisticated edge and show that simple can be sexy. Fun, passionate colours make the poolside a favourite hangout for love-struck newlyweds, with The Library pool voted the World’s Coolest Hotel Pool for Honeymooners by MarthaStewartWeddings.com.

Guests are welcome to grab a book from the hotel’s adjacent library complex or choose delectable delights from the poolside menu to enjoy by the rose red water. Come night-time, underwater lights transform the pool into a dazzling feature, a spectacular backdrop to dinner and drinks in the restaurant and bar. Couples enjoying a dip in this one-of-a-kind design are sure to be the envy of tourists on Chaweng Beach, mere steps away.

Unique, unusual and undeniably hip, this modern feature pool is the heart of The Library — a member of the high-end and highly fashionable Design Hotels group — and voted one of the World’s 10 Most Amazing Swimming Pools by Tripadvisor.com and CNN. Surrounded by oversized red mattresses and black beanbags, it is the perfect place to see and be seen, reclining in style with martini in hand.
