Bassin Bleu one of a series of three cobalt-blue pools linked by waterfalls tucked into the mountains 12 kilometers northwest of the city Jacmel that make up one of the prettiest nature-made swimming pools in Haiti.

The four pools altogether. They are Bassin Bleu, Bassin Clair, Bassin Cheval and Bassin Palmiste.

Bassin Bleu is most popularly known perhaps because the village nearby is also called Bassin Bleu.

Between Jacmel et Bainet, these four nature-made pools are along the Petite Rivière de Jacmel in the direction of La Vallée-de-Jacmel.
