Unmatched convenience with direct pool access

Swim-up rooms offer the unique convenience of stepping straight from your bedroom or private terrace into the pool. This seamless access allows spontaneous swims anytime, eliminating the hassle of walking through the resort or competing for sun loungers.

Enhanced privacy in semi-private pools

Many swim-up rooms feature exclusive pools shared by only a few rooms, providing a tranquil and private atmosphere. This semi-private setup ensures guests enjoy peaceful relaxation away from crowded main pools, ideal for couples and families seeking intimacy.

Luxurious features and stunning views

Luxury swim-up suites often include premium amenities like infinity pools, poolside cabanas, and gourmet dining on private terraces. Paired with breathtaking views of the sea or lush gardens, these features create an unforgettable, indulgent holiday experience.

What to expect from swim-up room holidays

Your private terrace becomes an extension of your bedroom, where sun loungers meet pool edges seamlessly. No need to wake early for poolside spots or walk across resort grounds with towels and sun cream – everything you need is steps from your bed. This convenience proves invaluable for guests with mobility considerations and families managing multiple kids’ needs throughout the day.

The experience transforms simple moments into luxury. Your morning coffee on the patio can include a spontaneous dip, while afternoon relaxation means moving between your room and refreshing water at will. Evening brings the ultimate relaxation as you can slip into warm water while watching sunset from your own space.

Choose the perfect swim-up style for you

Shared swim up pools create a social atmosphere where multiple rooms connect through flowing water systems. These designs offer flexibility – you can swim to other areas of the main pool or enjoy quiet moments in your semi-private pool section. Perfect for families who want supervised fun and adults seeking occasional social interaction.

Semi-private pools serve multiple rooms striking the ideal balance between privacy and space. Many luxury hotels design these with stunning views, infinity edges, or connections to spa areas.

Private pools deliver ultimate exclusivity. Your suite features a plunge pool or full-size pool accessible only from your terrace. These room types command premium prices but offer unmatched privacy for couples seeking romantic escapes or VIP guests wanting complete seclusion.

FAQs

What exactly is a swim-up room and how does it work?

A swim up room is a ground-floor hotel room with direct pool access from your private terrace or patio. You can literally step from your bedroom area onto your terrace and walk straight into the water. The pool may be private to your room, shared with a few other swim up rooms, or connect to the main pool system.

What's the difference between swim-up rooms and private pool rooms?

Swim up rooms typically share pool space with other rooms or connect to larger pool systems, whilst private pool rooms feature pools exclusive to that accommodation. Private pools offer complete privacy but may be smaller, whilst swim up pools often allow more swimming space and connectivity to resort amenities.
