Imagine stepping into your backyard and feeling like you’ve entered a high-end resort—a space designed for relaxation, entertainment, and pure indulgence. With the right design elements, a residential pool can go beyond a simple place to swim and become a luxurious retreat that rivals the world’s best resorts.
At Essig Pools & Pavers, we specialize in creating custom resort-style pools that bring elegance and comfort into your everyday life. Here’s how we turn backyards into private paradises.
1. Zero-Entry Designs: A Seamless, Sophisticated Touch
A zero-entry pool, also known as a beach entry, allows for a gentle, gradual slope into the water rather than traditional steps. This modern, resort-inspired feature is not only visually stunning but also practical—perfect for families, relaxation seekers, and those who love a seamless transition between land and water.
2. Infinity Edges: The Illusion of Endless Water
An infinity edge pool creates the breathtaking effect of water flowing endlessly into the horizon. Often seen in luxury resorts, this design makes your pool feel more expansive and connected to the surrounding landscape. Whether overlooking a lake, ocean, or lush backyard, an infinity edge adds a bold, dramatic touch that transforms your pool into an artistic centerpiece.
3. Integrated Spas: Relaxation at Its Finest
What’s better than a pool? A pool with an integrated spa. A built-in hot tub offers the ultimate relaxation experience, allowing you to unwind in warm, bubbling water with hydrotherapy benefits. Whether it’s seamlessly connected to the pool or designed as a raised feature with a spillover effect, a custom spa is a must-have for a true resort feel.
4. Fire & Water Features: The Perfect Contrast
The combination of fire and water is one of the most striking design choices for a resort-style pool. Fire bowls, torches, and outdoor fireplaces add warmth and ambiance, creating an inviting atmosphere for nighttime swims and gatherings. Pairing these elements with cascading waterfalls, bubblers, or sheer descent fountains enhances the sensory experience, making your backyard feel like a high-end escape.
5. Premium Lounging Areas: Comfort Meets Luxury
A resort-style pool isn’t complete without comfortable, well-designed lounging spaces. Sun shelves (also called tanning ledges) provide a shallow, in-water area where you can relax on a lounge chair or dip your toes while sipping a drink. Surrounding the pool with paver patios, cabanas, or pergolas adds to the high-end aesthetic, creating an outdoor space designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
