With summer just around the corner, thoughts turn to planning the perfect vacation. When it comes to finding an indulgent retreat, one key factor that often dominates everyone’s must-have list is a breathtaking swimming pool. If you’re deciding where to take the plunge, then check out these 7 hotels with outstanding pools. From the serene beauty of a countryside manor, to the historical charm of a reinvigorated convent, each of these accommodations offers a unique guest experience that epitomizes luxury and features an amazing pool. Let’s dive in!
Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo , Florence, Italy
Standing sentinel at the peak of the Bellosguardo hill, this hotel has a marvelous pool that’s an oasis of tranquility. Ringed by the verdant gardens of the 13th-century villa, the pool is the ideal spot to relax and feast on the breathtaking views of Florence. Whether you like soaking up the sun on your lounge chair or taking a dip, the swimming area at this acclaimed property is a sanctuary where sophistication meets the timeless wonder of Italy’s most adored Renaissance city.
Adare Manor , County Limerick, Ireland
One of Europe’s most celebrated five-star castle hotels, Adare Manor is located on an 842-acre estate in the heart of Adare Village in County Limerick, Ireland. The picturesque indoor swimming pool is set within the Padel Club, a modern wellness and fitness center. The beautiful pool has a breathtaking view of the manor grounds, the rolling landscape of the Irish countryside and the River Maigue.
Beaverbrook , Leatherhead, England
Originally the stately home of Lord Beaverbrook, this rural retreat is a welcome sanctuary for those looking to escape for the weekend. The property showcases a romantic 19th-century design, grand yet inviting interiors by Susie Atkinson, and a playful atmosphere, which is highlighted by the hotel’s famous pool. Sporting a distinctive checker-board design, the outdoor swimming pool is the go-to spot for a refreshing swim on a sunny day followed by a relaxing glass of Beaverbrook's finest sparkling wine at The Pool Bar.
Hotel La Compañía , Panama City, Panama
This incredible museum-hotel set in the heart of Casco Antiguo was once a 17th-century Jesuit convent. After an extensive eight-year restoration, it now offers luxurious accommodations with world-class restaurants, a wine cellar, a contemporary spa — and best of all — a gorgeous rooftop pool. Bask in the sun and then get energized with a spot of swimming in the refreshing waters before grabbing a signature cocktail at the rooftop bar, Capella, as the sun sets over Panama City.
