高質量旅游信息應該能在信息的全面性、準確性、及時性等方面全面滿足游客對旅游目的地的信息需求。現實是許多鄉村旅游地已經建立起一條或幾條互聯網推廣渠道，但在信息傳遞上存在問題，比如缺乏旅游信息要素。一些景區網站給出了大段的景區簡介，但沒有提供基本的景區交通、門票、天氣、食宿等信息。景區旅游信息沒有及時更新，一些反映景區維修、特定主題旅游活動、交通變化等信息在推廣渠道上沒有體現。這些旅游地雖然有了互聯網信息發布渠道，但是通過這些渠道，游客對景區狀況的認識仍然處于模糊狀態。

AURA SKYPOOL 位于迪拜棕櫚塔摩天大廈的49 至50 層，坐擁著世界上最高的360°無邊際泳池，步入其中仿佛置身于一座懸浮空中的夢幻島嶼。飄逸的檐篷、蔥郁的綠植、自然的元素……設計通過對細節與質感的雕琢為空間營造感官沖擊與張力。

坐擁迪拜天際線的壯麗景觀，AURA SKYPOOL 是世界上最高的360°無邊際泳池，它的位置極其優越，占據朱美拉人造群島的棕櫚塔摩天大樓頂部。其室內設計則是從自然界中汲取了靈感，包括受巖石啟發的雕塑墻體、再生木材和多元化的植物。這個破紀錄性的項目于2021 年11 月開業，鞏固了Kokaistudios 在高端旅行及度假勝地的國際聲譽。AURA SKYPOOL 跨越了兩層空間，包括豪華更衣室和光線充裕的酒廊，設計充分調動了對感官的整體影響力。

當進入空間，AURA SKYPOOL 的前廳就通過專用電梯將客人運送至距地面210 米的50 層，奠定了獨特的尊貴調性。推開門后是一片城市綠洲，被想象成是“天空中的島嶼”。該空間的視覺中心是看起來如天然巨石一樣、棱角分明的核心筒，外飾大理石粉涂料：空間原本的核心區設計頗有挑戰和限制性，但幾何性的裝飾將其轉變為標志性的焦點。這個3D 的立體形態成為中央酒吧的背景墻，而吧臺的支撐結構由再生木制成，讓人聯想起被沖刷上岸的浮游物。精心揀選的混凝土地磚讓人赤腳走在上面時有在沙灘上行走的體驗感。

為了與休息室的島嶼主題保持一致，天花板上的窗簾設計也讓人聯想到沙灘上的帳篷小屋，同時也遮擋了迪拜酷暑的烈日炎炎。可完全開啟的玻璃隔斷貫穿整個空間，當微風吹動簾幕輕輕搖曳時，更為設計注入了活力。在如此依賴空調的城市中，自然通風讓AURA 的休憩空間與眾不同，同時也確保了客人的舒適感受。點綴于整體空間的綠植增強了場地的戶外海灘氛圍，并與家具柔和的綠色、燕麥色與青色色調相得益彰。

中央休息室被木質甲板如海岸線一樣環繞，上面擺滿了太陽椅和矮桌。從這里，客人們可以看到鏡面般的無邊際泳池環繞著塔樓，也可以看到遠處壯觀的城市與海洋景觀。兩側浮動的平臺探入水中，帶來更獨特的體驗，讓人聯想到私人島嶼。

泳池的位置高度要求在每個角落都設置防風板，以防止波浪翻過設施的外邊緣。雖然游泳者可以很容易地在下方暢游，但對于私人功能，該設計有助于在視覺上劃分室外區域。因此Kokaistudios 的設計還在泳池東側加入了一個戶外酒吧，為專屬派對和 私享活動開辟了場地。

如果說AURA 的50 層泳池和休息室概念為空中島嶼，那么位于49 層的輔助空間則被想象為在水下的洞穴，包括更衣室、員工區和零售區。上下兩層的顏色、材質和形式主題一脈相承，通過鑲嵌有LED 照明的黃銅樓梯相連。下層空間的設計核心是與50 層休息室相同的巖石狀大理石粉飾面，而更衣室則設有噴砂藍綠色玻璃門，這里沒有日光照射，與上層陽光明媚的氛圍形成鮮明對比，增強了洞穴的主題。

在設計AURA SKYPOOL 時，Kokaistudios 的目標是構建并將它融入到迪拜嘆為觀止的美景中。設計通過創造室內外之間的對話來實現這一點：人造島嶼與想象中的島嶼，水上清新明透的氛圍與水下斑斕的世界。作為世界上最高的360°無邊際泳池，這里已迅速成為迪拜的必游體驗目的地之一。微妙的觸感、自然微風浮動、飄逸的檐篷、水天相接般波光粼粼的湛藍色……這些組合在一起，讓人身處城市中央，卻仿佛遠離了熱氣和喧囂，給人以獨特而奢華的感受。

Spanning the 49th and 50th floor of Dubai’s commanding Palm Towers skyscraper,AURU SKYPOOL welcomes visitors to an imagined island in the sky, surrounded by the world’s highest 360° infinity pool. All fluttering canopies, lush greenery, and natural features,the design emphasizes detail and quality to deliver impact and drama.

Boasting spectacular views across the Dubai skyline, AURA SKYPOOL is the world's highest 360° infinity pool. Despite its ultra urban location at the top of the Palm Tower skyscraper on the manmade Jumeirah archipelago, the interior’s design takes cues from the natural world. That includes a rock formation-inspired sculptural wall, reclaimed wood, and plentiful plants. Opened in November 2021, the recordbreaking project strengthens Kokaistudios’international reputation for destination leisure venues which includes Shanghai’s legendary Bar Rouge. Spanning two floors to include deluxe changing rooms and a light-flooded lounge, the design plays on the senses to holistic, impactful effect.

From the outset, AURA SKYPOOL Lounge sets an exclusive tone thanks to dedicated elevators transporting guests to the building's 50th floor, 210 meters above the ground. Its doors open onto an urban oasis, imagined as ‘an island in the sky’. At its heart is an angular travertino plaster centerpiece,appearing as natural boulders: a geometric finish transforms the tower’s central core from a space-limiting challenge, to a signature focal point. This 3D object forms the backdrop of a central bar, and the counter which is made of reclaimed wood recalling flotsam washed up on the shore. Surrounding concrete floor tiles have been carefully selected for their tactile quality:experienced barefoot, they are reminiscent of walking on sand.

In keeping with the lounge’s island theme, ceiling drapes evoke beachside cabanas while window curtains act as a useful sunscreen in Dubai’s unforgiving heat. Both inject movement into the design as the fabric sways in a welcome breeze from fully openable glass partitions that wrap around the space. In a city so reliant on air-conditioning this natural ventilation sets AURA Lounge apart and ensures guest comfort. Throughout, plants and small trees reinforce the venue’s outdoor, beach-like atmosphere, and complement furnishing’s muted palette of greens, oatmeal, and teal.

Surrounding the central lounge like a shoreline is a wooden deck, replete with sun loungers and tables. From here, guests look across the mirror-like infinity pool that circumnavigates the tower to spectacular city and ocean vistas beyond. On two sides,networks of floating platforms jut into the water for an altogether more exclusive experience that is reminiscent of a private island.

The pool’s height called for windbreaking partitions at each corner in order to prevent waves breaking over the facility’s outer edge. Although swimmers can pass easily underneath, for private functions the architecture helps visually separate and divide the outdoor area. With this in mind,Kokaistudios’ design also incorporates an outdoor bar along the pool’s eastern side,opening the venue for exclusive parties and private events.

If AURA’s 50th-floor pool and lounge are conceptualized as an island in the sky,its auxiliary facilities are imagined as an atmospheric underwater cave. Located on level 49, functions include changing rooms,staff areas, and a retail kiosk. Physically connected by a brass-clad staircase inlaid with LED lighting, the floors are thematically linked through color, material, and form. At its core is the same angular, rock-like finish of the lounge above; while changing rooms feature sandblasted blue-green glass doors. An absence of daylight contrasts with the sun-bright atmosphere above, reinforcing the cave motif.

I n c reat i n g t h e AU RA S KY P O O L,Kokaistudios’ remit was to frame and contextualize the location’s breathtaking views. It achieves this through a design dialogue between outdoor and indoor;manmade islands versus imagined ones; above water and below. As the world's highest 360 °infinity pool, the destination has fast become one of Dubai’s must-visit experiences. At the same time, its combination of tactile features,natural breeze, fluttering canopies, and above all, glittering blue water that seems to meet the sky feels nothing short of exclusive, luxurious,and far removed from the heat and intensity of this unique urban center.
