Looking for a place to host special life celebrations such as birthday, wedding, family gathering, reunion, company outing, team building, or just a barkada getaway? Then you’ve come across the right article!
Factors such as affordability, exclusivity and accessibility may be secondary only to this prime element ~ availability of comfort amenities such as infinity pool and/or jacuzzi. Infinity pool is usually positioned on a gorgeous backdrop such as sea, mountain or other surrounding landscape, giving an impression that the borders between artificial and natural creations, either vanishes or rather extended.
I personally asked my dear friends, “What’s with infinity pools?”
Luigi (@count_gabz) answered “There’s something about the view of water flirting with the sky or extending into the horizon. It’s so calming that your worries will sure be left unspoken of.” Then he added, “Maypa sa pool naay inifinty, sa love wala!” #Hugot
“What’s not to love about infinity pools? For me, whenever I swim in an infinity pool I felt like I’m swimming in an ocean’s extension. The view is always breathtaking as well as the sunset view.” shared Lendy (@sincerelylends)
So yeah, for the love of infinity pools, I’ve enlisted twenty-five (25) visually dazzling pools around Cebu that are undeniably the most exquisite man-made pools in existence. One of these places might be what you’re looking for.
