- Use light, natural materials like wood, rattan, and bamboo for decking and poolside furniture to create a breezy, vacation atmosphere.
- Incorporate tropical plants like palms, hibiscus, and bird-of-paradise around the pool area. Strategically place trees and shrubs to provide shade and privacy.
- Install an outdoor kitchen and dining area next to the pool for poolside meals and entertainment. An outdoor fridge, grill, and bar area work well.
- Choose comfortable, weather-resistant patio furniture with pops of bright, fun colors to evoke a resort mood. Sturdy teak wood or aluminum sets work well.
- Use blue, aqua, and green mosaic tiles for pool surface accents to reflect the water and enhance the resort ambience.
- Place hammocks, swinging chairs, or daybeds around the pool for relaxation. Provide side tables for drinks and books.
- Surround the pool with potted palms in large containers for an instant tropical feel. Opt for low-maintenance varieties.
- Set up a cabana room or guesthouse next to the pool for changing, lounging or overnights with family and friends.
- Install water features like small fountains, waterfalls, or spillways for pleasant sights and sounds.
- Illuminate the pool and yard with string lights and torches for dramatic, resort-like ambiance at night.
