Top Luxury Swimming Pool Accessories — Make the Most of Your Pool Experience

Think above and beyond the typical pool — more than a backyard swimming spot, surpassing a spa. Luxury swimming pools are in a class all of their own, customized with features that suit your lifestyle and outdoor living space. These top swimming pool accessories elevate the experience in many ways. Some, like automatic pool covers, are functional and add a measure of safety. Others, like rock grottos and waterfalls, add an inviting aesthetic. Most luxury pools have at least three water features — and here are some of the most sought-after options.

 

 

Pool Automation — Swim Smart

Today’s advancing pool automation is sophisticated and simple. From pool maintenance to mechanicals like heating, lighting and filtration, pool automation systems allow you to control your pool from a smartphone app or single remote control. You can turn on the spa while driving home from work. Pool automation can analyze pool water chemistry and disperse what’s needed to keep water safe and healthy. Or, adjust the water temperature and cue up color-changing LED lights to set the mood. Pool automation allows you to program pool features, set up cleaning and make your pool environment exactly how you like it. Neave Pools clients say pool automation saves time and money. (Think of how a programmable thermostat on your pool heater can save money.)

 

 

Automatic Pool Covers

Pool covers are essential to keeping the pool clean when it’s not in use, and a high-quality cover can protect children and pets from falling into the pool. We consider an automatic pool cover a necessary luxury. An automated pool cover you can control through an app or remote is convenient — and you’re more likely to use a pool cover if you don’t have to unroll and wrangle it to cover the water manually. You’re more likely to use this health and safety feature if you can push a button to gain peace of mind.

 

 

Pool Grottos

Add a natural element and character to your luxury pool with a rock grotto that can be enclosed for a cave-like feel, open with views into the pool and a waterfall cascading in front. If you have children, a rock grotto can include a slide to add fun. Grottos are highly customized based on your pool’s shape, size, and outdoor living features.

 

 

Pool Fire Features

Fire and water are a natural pair — and there are many ways to integrate a fire feature into your pool environment. These two features work so well together that we sometimes combine them into a custom fountain that might be constructed from natural stone and include a fountain and a torch-like gas-lit fire element that is beautiful and easy to turn on. Pool-side fire bowls and firepits let off a warm glow while taking the chill out of cooler nights, and the flame’s reflection on the water’s surface is mesmerizing. On another note, we’re designing and building custom outdoor fireplaces for pool areas that take the experience to another level, creating a real living room feel.

 

 

Sun Shelves and Beach Entries

Think about how you can take a plunge with a sun shelf that allows space for a chaise lounge, which can be integrated into the pool shell. A beach entry lets you gradually immerse yourself in the water. If you have children, beach entries allow little explorers to swim at their comfort level.

 

 

Luxury Pool Swim-Up Bar

Whether you stock the fridge with adult beverages, kids’ juice boxes, hot-day refreshments or all of the above, a pool swim-up bar brings more entertainment into the water. Your bartop might extend into the pool with submerged, built-in seating. Or, a beach entry might flow into an outdoor kitchen space with seating “on land” that’s a leg’s reach from the water. Are you working with a small backyard? We’re building small-scale spools that operate as a spa or pool and include a ledge for cocktail hour.

 

 

Finish It Off — Poolside Landscaping

A luxury pool project is only complete with a patio or pool deck, outdoor living area, and plantings in the surrounding landscape that will not contribute to pool maintenance. The plan might include a cabana or pool house for escaping the sun, storage, or a guest house. Your luxury pool project might be completed in phases. But we like to think big-picture immediately, resulting in a seamless outdoor living experience with all custom features.
