What exactly is a swim-up room?

A swim-up room gives you direct access to the pool. Rooms on the ground floor of the hotel are connected to the pool via a terrace, so you can step straight into the water. And swim-up suites on the first or second floors are connected to the pool by a short set of stairs. Either way, you can go from bed to pool in seconds and don’t, technically, need to leave your room for a swim and sunbathing session.

Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza, Spain

Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza is tucked away on Ibiza’s quieter north coast, and is perfect for families who want a beach nearby, plenty of activities (over 200, in fact) and a big waterpark. The swim-up rooms here open straight onto the pool, so the kids can splash about while you keep an eye on them from your terrace. There's a kids' club, Swim School and an Aerial Adventure course to keep little ones entertained, too, plus the hotel's All Inclusive as standard.

Blue Lagoon Village, Greece

Blue Lagoon Village is set on the island of Kos, where whitewashed buildings and turquoise waters create that classic Greek island vibe. The swim-up rooms here open onto a shared pool, so you can go from bed to pool in seconds. The hotel's close to the beach and there's plenty to do nearby, from exploring ancient ruins (we’re looking at you Castle of the Knights) to trying local tavernas in the nearby villages. It's a great base if you want to mix pool time with a bit of island exploration.
