Located at the top of the Indigo Hotel in Hong Kong, the design is [cantilevered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shebara-resort), and extends out from the roof so that swimmers can see the ground below. This pool design is the closest swimmers will get to the feeling of flying without risk of injury. The bottom of the pool is made from a sturdy glass material, so that people have a clear view of people walking through the streets of Hong Kong. Conversely, passersby can look up and see guests moving leisurely through the water above. This development is just one of the many luxury offerings that the city of Hong Kong can provide.
