Crowned as one of the world’s most spectacular hotel pools by both TripAdvisor and CNN, The Library hotel in Koh Samui is known for its signature blood red pool. Mosaic orange, yellow and deep red tiles work with a calculated depth to give the illusion of red water. The boutique hotel is situated along the sandy white beach front of Chaweng, giving revelers the opportunity to watch the waves crash as they luxuriate in the red pool.
