Pick this one for the firmest numbers on our list: a 19.4-meter infinity pool on the 26th floor, with ocean views from the water. Who may swim there isn't published by the hotel, so ask the front desk before you build a day around it.
The pool
At 254 Galle Rd in Colombo 03, the 26th-floor pool is a 19.4-meter infinity pool, and the hotel says it has ocean views. The catch is access: the hotel publishes no rules for non-guests.
Our take
Amari is the pick when the size and height of the pool matter. Granbell Hotel Colombo's pool sits one floor higher but is open to guests only, while Amari leaves the door unspecified, which is better odds if you aren't staying.
The downside is the missing access policy. No day pass is listed, so swimming without a room means asking the front desk. Poolside food and drinks come from The Rooftop Bar, and Attico Restaurant & Bar adds skyline and ocean views.

Tips
- Plan to eat and drink at The Rooftop Bar if you swim; it supplies the poolside menu.
- Aim for January to March, the best three months to swim in Colombo, when highs average 31.4°C in January.
Before you go. Email or call and ask if visitors can swim and what it costs. The hotel gives no policy.
