What is a luxury swimming pool design?
Luxury swimming pool design is all about transforming your outdoor space into a unique and private oasis. Whether you want to create a dream pool for spending time with friends, or an infinity pool to cool off in style on a hot day, there is plenty of scope for personalization.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to designing your own luxury swimming pool; you can add features such as waterfalls, in-pool lighting, heated floors and bubbling lounges. Plus, the incorporation of new technology has given rise to additional water features such as underwater speakers and connected LED lights that can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet device.
Luxury pools also don’t only have to be used for fun; they can also provide health benefits such as providing relief from arthritis pain during hot days by easing swelling joints with warm water, or by offering massage jets that stimulate circulation and release muscle tension.
So whatever kind of dream pool you are looking for – whether its modern elegance or natural beauty – there is no limit on creativity!
8 luxury swimming pool designs & ideas to inspire
White wonderland
Large Format Luxury Tiled Pool by Blue Cube Pools
This White Wonderland luxury pool design offers a stunning and modern look.
The pool itself is a large format, luxury tiled pool with turquoise water. The surrounding area is made up of natural grey stoning and angular white decor that offers a timeless feel to the space.
Luxurious in-ground grey tiled steps lead down into the shallow end of the pool, allowing an easy way to get in and out. For added brightness, a large window and large glass doors take up two sides of the pool, offering a stunning view of greenery from within.
Creating a luxury pool design like the one above is achievable with some tips to keep in mind.
Firstly, selecting tiles for the pool is key; for a modern and sleek look, opt for white porcelain mosaic tiles which are both aesthetically pleasing and easy to maintain. Many pools also opt for large format neutral coloured porcelain, as the grey large format gives a clean and sleek natural look compared to mosaic.
Adding glass tiling or textured stone mosaics will also help to add character to the pool—you could even add a Fluvo Bell Water Cannon at the end of the pool for ultimate character. Even introducing elegant white décor pieces around the pool area like chaise lounges and modern sun umbrellas can contribute to making your own little slice of paradise!
Zen garden oasis
Luxury Dark Liner Pool by Blue Cube Pools
With the right use of balance and lines in your landscape architecture, your pool can create a stunning focal point to its natural backdrop.
The Zen Garden Oasis luxury pool design provides the perfect balance of modern and classic. Featuring a large format, dark liner pool set in a square stone patio and garden surrounded by tall green hedges, beautiful trees, and elegant stone walls, this timeless design offers the perfect marriage of natural beauty and modern sophistication.
To achieve this look, keep the pool’s design clean and simple. Install an in-ground dark liner, with a few large format tiles to create a sleek look. Introduce stone or concrete pavers around the perimeter which will help to frame the pool.
Luxury pool house

Creating a luxury pool design is all about personalising the space to your individual needs and preferences. One way to achieve this is by installing a pool house.
A pool house can provide shelter from the sun and rain, while also becoming an area to relax, entertain or just take some time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Use your pool year round with a stunning pool enclosure or pool house renovation like the one pictured above. A pool house can even become a retreat or entertainment spot, with its own lounge area and kitchenette for ultimate luxury living, or with a shower and changing area like the pool house pictured above.
Elegant Roman End steps
Elegant Roman End Steps by Blue Cube Pools
Elegant Roman end steps are a perfect way to add an air of sophistication and luxury to any swimming pool.
Not only do they look great, but they also provide a safe and easy way to access the pool without having to climb in. The steps have a classic feel that can be achieved with stone or block pavers that are laid in a Roman pattern.
The addition of vintage metal furniture, like the one pictured above, is also an elegant way to provide seating for both relaxing and entertaining in your pool area.
Rounded corners
Liner Refurbishment by Blue Cube Pools
Rounded corners are the perfect way to create a unique and modern look in your pool area.
With their curved edges, these types of pool design gives the illusion of space and creates a streamlined look.
The addition of stainless steel details, such as LED lighting or waterfall fixtures, is also an effective way to add sophistication. Plus, they can be incorporated into the design, or used as decorative accents. Rounded corners are especially effective when incorporated into an infinity pool design, providing an uninterrupted view out over the horizon.
Luxury tiling

The luxury pool design above is simply breath-taking.
The white décor adds a sense of elegance and class, while the luxurious mosaic tiling provides a luxurious feel for taking a refreshing dip. The deck-level pool creates an unending horizon line, creating a unique visual look that will make your pool stand out from the rest.
You also have the addition of a bespoke tiled spa here for all of the hydrotherapy benefits of a hot tub.
On top of that, the gorgeous indoor furniture and open feel to the design make this the perfect spot for entertaining guests.
Natural colours
Liner Pool by Blue Cube Pools
With the right use of natural lighting, nude tones and creative wall art, you can turn your indoor pool room into a chic and stylish retreat.
This luxury pool design above features beautiful natural tones that bring the outdoors in. The addition of wall art over the walls creates a unique visual look that is both modern and eye-catching. The stone paved flooring also provides an elegant touch, while the use of natural lighting gives off a soft and soothing atmosphere to relax and enjoy.
To achieve a look like this, try to incorporate natural materials wherever possible; use wood for furniture and accents, stone for the flooring, and plant-filled spaces to add some vibrancy.
Home spa
Luxury Hot Tub Setup by Blue Cube Pools
Home spas are the perfect place for relaxing in style. With a luxurious pool, hot tub and spacious lounge areas, you can transform your outdoor area into an inviting and exclusive haven.
The addition of the hot tub in the above small garden design makes it perfect for cooling off on hot days or providing a unique spot to relax after a long day. Topping off the space is a luxurious vined fence, perfect for providing heightened privacy and taking some time away from it all.
For a truly opulent touch, try adding some special touches such as an outdoor fireplace or firepit to give extra warmth and create a cosy atmosphere.
