San Alfonso del Mar is a private resort in Algarrobo, Chile, about 100 km (62 mi) west of Santiago. The resort has one of the world's largest swimming pools. At the time of its construction it was the largest.
The pool is 1,013 m (3,323 ft) long, covering 8 ha (20 acres), containing some 250 million litres (66 million US gallons) of seawater, with a maximum depth of 11.5 ft (3.5052 m). The water is pumped from the Pacific Ocean, filtered, and treated. Access to the pool is for residents only. There is no hotel at the premises, just apartments.

Development
The pool was developed by Fernando Fischmann; his Chilean company Crystal Lagoons built the pool, opening in December 2006. Early estimates put the total cost of construction at about US$3.5 million for the filtration system alone.
