What Is an Infinity Pool?
An infinity pool (also known as a vanishing edge pool) is a luxury design where one or more edges of the pool appear invisible, with water flowing over the edge into a hidden catch basin and then being pumped back. This creates a stunning visual illusion that makes the pool appear to extend into infinity.
Infinity pool prices start from 80,000 SAR and reach 250,000 SAR or more depending on the size, design, and number of vanishing edges.
Infinity Pool Features
✓ Luxurious appearance with a boundless view
✓ Ideal for villas and mansions with elevated views
✓ Significantly increases property value
✓ Precision engineering ensures optimal water flow
✓ Option to add colored LED edge lighting
✓ Water recirculation system keeps the pool clean
Infinity Pool Requirements
An infinity pool requires a suitable site with an elevation difference to achieve the desired visual effect. Key requirements include:
• Elevation difference to create the vanishing edge effect
• A catch basin below the edge to collect flowing water
• A powerful pumping system to return water from the catch basin to the pool
• Precision engineering to ensure even water flow across the entire edge
Infinity Pool Prices
| Design | Approx. Price (SAR) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Small Infinity (single edge) | 80,000 - 120,000 | 60-75 days |
| Medium Infinity (single edge) | 120,000 - 180,000 | 70-85 days |
| Large Infinity or double edge | 180,000 - 250,000+ | 80-100 days |
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the required elevation difference can be created by raising the pool above the surrounding ground level or excavating the catch basin area. However, this increases the cost compared to sites with naturally suitable terrain.
Infinity pool maintenance costs about 20-30% more than a regular pool due to the additional pumping system and higher electricity consumption. Monthly costs range from 800 to 2,000 SAR.
