The highlight of The Lalu’s pool is its “infinity” design. Looking from the poolside toward Sun Moon Lake, the pool blends seamlessly with the lake’s waters, reflecting the scenery of Sun Moon Lake on its surface—swimming here feels like being in the lake itself. The “overflow” design, also known as a slow-flow design, features edges that tilt slightly upwards, keeping the water level constantly full. The pool tiles are specially made with a radiant glaze that mimics the color of Sun Moon Lake’s water. During construction, the hotel specially commissioned manufacturers to produce these tiles with naturally cracked glaze crystal patterns. Sunlight reflection or refraction gives the pool water a natural hue that matches the lake.

In addition to the infinity effect, this is also the longest pool in Taiwan, measuring 60 meters in length and 8 meters in width. The western end reaches a depth of two meters, while the middle is 1.5 meters deep. The pool bottom slopes gradually from east to west. The water temperature is maintained at around 26 degrees Celsius, give or take two degrees.
