Remember when we thought summer was over and fall was here to stay? Looks like Mother Nature is getting the last laugh because around the country temps are heating up for one last hurrah in the sunshine.

This Indian Summer has everyone ready to live their best lives. We’re hot and ready to book a flight to some far off destination where we can let our melanin shine next to some fancy pool and cool off, in style of course. If you thought poolside getaways were basic, and beaches were the only way to go, we’ve found a few folks that will surely change your mind.

From Mexico to Marrakech, Kenya and beyond, these jetsetters brought the heat to some of the most luxurious pool getaways. And trust us, these photos are so hot you’ll need to plan a trip of your own just cool down.
