Developers are always looking for novel ways to attract luxury buyers. Pools are a mainstay in the luxury market, but these are a cut above the rest. Discover bizarre and out-of-this-world luxury pools you have to see to believe, including those built into the sea, pools constructed on skyscrapers, and pools built over the edge of a cliff.
