(CNN) – Dubai has turned breaking world records into something of an art form over the years and now the emirate has another emirate to add to its list.
The world’s first and tallest 360-degree infinity pool just opened at Palm Tower, a hotel and residential building by developer Nakheel offering stunning views of the Dubai skyline.
Uninterrupted views
Aura Skypool, the world’s first and tallest 360-degree infinity pool, has opened in Palm Tower, Dubai.

Described as “an island in the sky,” the space also features a lounge filled with VIP sunbeds, as well as a cocktail and tapas bar.
Those looking to take a dip in the green-tiled pool can choose to book a morning or sunset pass, while day passes are available for visitors with more time.
Entrance fees start at $46 (170 AED) for morning tours and go up to $163 (600 AED) for a full-day “island” VIP experience with access to the entire Aura area.
“Aura is truly unlike any other destination in the UAE and the world,” Antonio Gonzalez, CEO of Sunset Hospitality, the company behind the infinity pool, said in a statement last month.
Record Breaker
Described as “an island in the sky”, the brand new site sits at an altitude of 200 meters.

“With 360-degree views of some of the world’s most iconic attractions, from the man-made Palm Jumeirah – celebrating its 20th anniversary this year – to the Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa and Ain Dubai – All in all, it’s a breathtaking new destination that will continue to showcase the best of Dubai.”
The launch of Aura Skypool comes a few months after The View at The Palms, a 240-meter-tall observatory, opened on the 52nd floor of the spectacular tower, which also houses the Middle East’s first SushiSamba restaurant. .
Aura Skypool is located on the 50th floor of a hotel and residential building from developer Nakheel.

Unlike Aura Skypool, the pool is only open to hotel guests, aged 21 and over. However, diners who book a table at the Zeta Seventy Seven rooftop restaurant, located directly across from the pool, can also enjoy the view as well as a clear view of the record-breaking pool.
