DESERT LOTUS RESORT MONGOLIA IN THE GOBI DESERT
You have probably never considered the Inner Mongolia Region in China as a top holiday destination, but when you see the Desert Lotus Resort situated 563 km west of Beijing, in esoteric Xiang Sha Wan, or the “Sand Bay” of the Gobi Desert, you’ll definitely change your mind. The resort itself looks almost unearthly, like a space ship hovering in no man’s land. But, at closer inspection, you can see a structural compound that is anchored in the huge sand dunes by panels and steel support framework.
Why build a luxury hotel in the middle of a desert, you might ask? Considering that the area in which the resort is located is an industrial one (this is the site known for providing vast quantities of rare minerals), it made sense to build a beautiful hotel in the area which, otherwise, would be disregarded as appealing to tourists because of its industry.
World's Largest Swimming Pool -- off the coast of Chile
San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile, has the largest swimming pool in the world. It’s 3,324 ft (1,015 m) long and has a total area of 19.8 acres (8 hectares). The pool holds 66 million gallons (250 million liters) of water, as much as 6,000 normal pools. Incredible!

The national park was founded in 1949 and is situated in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia, at the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
