Infinity pool hotels in Pattaya
Rooftop tower pools above Pattaya Bay and quiet beachfront resorts from Wong Amat to Na Jomtien
Pattaya offers infinity pools in two very different settings. Across the city, from North to South Pattaya, hotel towers raise their pools above the streets, so you swim with the rooftops and the Gulf of Thailand in view. Outside the center, resorts on Pratamnak Hill, at Wong Amat and in Na Jomtien set their pools beside the sand or on the headland.
The hotels on this page were chosen for pools that open onto the sea or the city skyline. Some suit a lively weekend close to malls, restaurants and nightlife; others suit a quiet week on a private stretch of beach.
The guide below compares the areas and pool types, explains which pools visitors can use with a day pass, and shows when the dry season makes pool days easiest.

The Sky Aquarium Pool has a double infinity edge and an all-glass tip with open sea views, and the hotel bills it as the longest infinity-edge pool in Thailand. The hotel also recommends it as a place to watch the sunset.

Akara Hotel Pattaya has a ring-shaped rooftop infinity pool on the 24th floor, the top level of its tower in North Pattaya. The pool is shared by all hotel guests and is part of Barracuda Sky Gala, the hotel's rooftop bar and lounge. From the deck, guests look over the sea, the coast and the high-rise skyline. This coast faces west, so the sun sets over the water in front of the pool. A curved wooden canopy shades part of the deck.

A separate family pool with a splash pad and a slide, the mini water park, sits on Level 4 of the Bay Tower.

At Na Jomtien, south of Jomtien, Ravindra Beach Resort & Spa is a five-star resort of low-rise buildings in contemporary Thai style, set in landscaped tropical gardens that lead to its own stretch of sandy beach on the Gulf of Thailand. Its beachfront infinity pool is shared by all guests, and two interconnected lagoon pools with garden views run between the wings. Unlike the tower hotels closer to the city, the resort is spread out across its gardens, with the rooms, pools and beach all reached on foot.
The beachfront pool is open from early morning into the evening, while the lagoon pools close in the early evening.

On the 12th floor of Samsara Hotel Pattaya, in South Pattaya near Bali Hai Pier, the Sky Floor holds a rooftop infinity pool shared by all hotel guests. The open edge faces the city, and the view runs over the rooftops to Pattaya Bay, with Pratamnak Hill on one side; the hotel describes it as a 360-degree view of Pattaya.

On a cape at the north end of Pattaya Bay, Cape Dara Resort is a five-star beachfront resort in Pattaya with its own private beach, Dara Beach. The shared outdoor pools face the Gulf of Thailand from the grounds above the beach, with a swim-up bar and a kids' pool. The pools, fitness center, playroom and club lounge are reserved for registered in-house guests, so the resort does not sell visitor access (policy checked in 2026).
Deluxe Rooms are in the main building from the 5th floor up, and each has a furnished balcony with sea views over Pattaya Bay or toward Wong Amat. Family Suites fill most of the 21st floor and have two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Closer to the water, the Dara Private Pool Suites are on the first floor of a five-story beachfront building, each with a balcony plunge pool and a water hammock. The Top Star Private Pool Residence is a three-story beachfront villa with five bedrooms, its own swimming pool and private beach access.
Radius, the all-day restaurant, looks out over the sea, while Ming Xing serves traditional Chinese cuisine. Luminous Spa has sea-view treatment rooms on the 4th floor. Most suite categories include access to Dara Club Lounge on the 24th floor, and guests in Deluxe Rooms can buy a daily pass.
Best for: couples who want a beachfront resort with a private beach, and families who need a two-bedroom suite.
Choose Central or North Pattaya for city views and nightlife, and Pratamnak Hill, Wong Amat or Na Jomtien for a quieter resort stay. Greater Pattaya runs from Naklua and Wong Amat in the north, along the main Pattaya Beach, over the Pratamnak headland and down to Jomtien. Na Jomtien lies south of Jomtien, in Sattahip district, and feels like a separate beach town.
The tower hotels are in the city. Hilton Pattaya rises above the Central Pattaya mall on Beach Road, and Holiday Inn Pattaya faces Pattaya Beach from Beach Road in North Pattaya. Akara Hotel Pattaya stands in North Pattaya near Terminal 21. Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya and Amethyst Hotel Pattaya are in Central Pattaya, and Samsara Hotel Pattaya sits at the south end, near Bali Hai Pier and Walking Street. Beach Road and Walking Street stay busy late, so light sleepers should look at Pratamnak Hill, Wong Amat or Na Jomtien.
Pratamnak Hill, between Pattaya and Jomtien, is greener, with viewpoints and the Wat Phra Yai temple on top. Wong Amat, in Naklua, is a residential stretch where resorts have their own beachfront. Jomtien Beach is about 6 km (4 miles) long and quieter than Pattaya Beach. Na Jomtien, farther south, is home to three of the beachfront resorts on this page.
Our pick for a first visit is Garden Cliff Resort and Spa at Wong Amat. Its large infinity pool sits on terraces just above Crescent Moon Beach, and the city attractions stay close.
Choose a rooftop pool for height, views and restaurants within walking distance, and a beachfront pool for sand, space and quiet. Unlike Phuket, where the choice is mostly between clifftop and beachfront resorts, Pattaya adds a third option: hotel towers with pools high above the bay.
The tower pools put the city and the sea below you, and the malls and restaurants of Beach Road are a short walk away. The trade-off is that the beach itself is shared with the busiest part of town. The beachfront resorts sit lower, with the sea next to the pool and more room to spread out. Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach and Ravindra Beach Resort & Spa in Na Jomtien, and Garden Cliff and Cape Dara Resort at Wong Amat, all sit on the beachfront.
Pratamnak is the middle ground, with the headland above the sea. Royal Cliff Beach Hotel Pattaya belongs to a large cliffside complex with two private beaches, and its guests use two infinity-edge pools that face the Gulf.
Our pick if you want a raised sea-view pool and a beach is MASON Pattaya. Its infinity Sky Pool sits on the second floor of the clubhouse, facing the ocean at Na Jomtien, and the resort has a private beach entrance.
For bay views from a tower, start with Akara, Siam@Siam and Hilton, which all place their pools high above the sea. Akara has a ring-shaped infinity pool 24 stories up, part of its Barracuda Sky Gala lounge. Siam@Siam has rooftop pools on the 24th and 27th floors, with city and sea views and a rooftop bar, the Skybar Summer Club. Hilton's outdoor infinity pool is on the 16th floor of a 34-story tower, with Horizon, a rooftop restaurant and bar, at the top.
Two rooftop pools complete the city choice. Amethyst has a rooftop infinity pool that looks over the city, and Samsara has a 12th-floor infinity pool that the hotel describes as having 360-degree views of Pattaya. Some tower pools close in the evening, so check the hours on the hotel page before you plan a late swim.
Our pick for the view is Akara, where the ring shape and the 24-story height make the pool itself the reason to stay.
For a pool right beside the sand, Na Jomtien and Wong Amat have the strongest choices, and Pratamnak adds a cliff setting above the Gulf. At Wong Amat, Cape Dara's shared pools sit on its cape above the private Dara Beach, facing the Gulf. Garden Cliff, with about 250 rooms, has an infinity pool and its own beachfront.
In Na Jomtien, Ravindra has a beachfront infinity pool and two interconnected lagoon pools with garden views, so there is room to spread out. Andaz, a Hyatt resort on the same beachfront, has a beachfront infinity pool open to all guests and a separate lagoon pool for children. MASON presents its Sky Pool as the resort's sunset spot, with ocean views of Na Jomtien.
On Pratamnak, the Royal Cliff complex lists seven pools. Its signature is the Sky Aquarium Pool, a double-edge infinity pool with an all-glass tip facing the Gulf. Royal Cliff Beach Hotel guests can use it, together with the Beach Infini Pool.
Our pick for a pool by the sand is Ravindra. Its infinity pool sits on the beachfront, and the lagoon pools add space when the main pool is busy.
Couples do best at the Na Jomtien resorts, families at resorts with separate pools for children, and groups of friends in the city towers.
For couples, MASON presents itself as a resort built for romance and privacy, and every villa has its own pool. Andaz adds a beachfront setting away from the city center. None of the hotels on this page limits the whole property to adults. Siam@Siam reserves its 27th-floor rooftop pool for guests aged 18 and over, while its 24th-floor pool is open to all ages.
For families, Holiday Inn Pattaya has two infinity pools open to all guests, a mini water park with a splash pad and a slide, and a Kids Club. Royal Cliff Beach Hotel adds a heated kids' pool in its mini water park, and Andaz has a kids' club. MASON's Sky Pool area has an adult pool and a separate child-friendly pool. For groups of friends, the city towers work best. Siam@Siam has its rooftop bar, Hilton has Horizon on the roof, and Samsara is close to Walking Street, the nightlife strip.
Our picks are MASON for couples, Holiday Inn Pattaya for families who want the city, and Siam@Siam for friends who want the pool and the bar in one place.
A private pool is worth paying for at the beachfront resorts if you want the water to yourself. In the city towers, the shared rooftop pool is the reason to book. Cape Dara offers a Dara Private Pool Suite and a Top Star Private Pool Residence. Ravindra has one- and two-bedroom Pool Villas, MASON has private pool villas, and Andaz has Private Pool Suites and pool villas. At Garden Cliff, the Deluxe Pool Access Room is a middle ground between a standard room and a villa.
Check what the private pool looks onto before you book. A garden-facing villa pool gives privacy, while the resort's main pool may still have the better sea view.
Our pick for a private pool is Cape Dara, where the pool suites come with a private setting above Dara Beach.
Yes, at two hotels on this page: in 2026 Royal Cliff Beach Hotel and MASON sell official passes to visitors. Most of the other hotels publish no visitor pass, and Cape Dara, for example, reserves its pools for registered in-house guests.
Royal Cliff Beach Hotel sells a day pass to outside guests that covers the Beach Infini Pool, the Sky Aquarium Pool and the Fitz Club pool and gym. MASON's Wellness Day Pass is a spa package rather than a pool ticket. It includes a treatment and access to the Sky Pool and the Fitness Studio, and it must be booked a week ahead.
If you do book a room at Royal Cliff, it still does not give you every pool. According to the group's pool page, Royal Cliff Beach Hotel guests use the pools at the Beach Hotel and the Fitz Club. The Royal Wing pool is reserved for guests of the complex's Royal Wing. Read that page before you book if one pool is the reason for your trip.
Our pick for a pool day without a room is Royal Cliff Beach Hotel, whose pass covers two infinity-edge pools above the Gulf. Choose MASON if you also want a spa treatment.
December to March is the best time, with dry weather and heat that has not yet peaked. From December to February, Pattaya averages only one or two rainy days a month, and evenings can feel cool on a rooftop. March and April are hot and humid, and April is the warmest month.
The rainy season runs from May to November. September and October are the wettest months, with about 13 to 14 rainy days each, while November drops to about four. Daytime highs stay around 30-33 C (86-91 F) all year. The sea stays warm too, close to 30 C (86 F).
The dry-season window is close to Bangkok's, so a combined city and beach trip works best from December to February.
Book December to March for the most reliable pool weather. In September and October, a city tower with a mall below, such as Hilton, gives you more to do on rainy afternoons.
