A resort-style backyard effortlessly blends elegance, functionality, and ambience to create the perfect place for relaxation and connection. At Valley Oasis Pools, we understand how important it is that you work with a swimming pool builder you can trust. Our goal is to transform your home by incorporating thoughtful details into your custom pool design, ensuring it perfectly aligns with your unique vision for your home.
When we’re done, you will have a stunning, luxury pool that makes your backyard feel like you’re at a high-end vacation resort. Here is our guide to creating a resort-style backyard and incorporating pool trends that transform your home.
Finding Features that Enhance Your Lifestyle
We’ll start by working closely with you to identify the most important luxury features for your pool and backyard. To design your dream resort-style outdoor living space, we’ll focus on:
- Water Features – The sound of water can be incredibly relaxing and tranquil. In addition to your custom pool, we will also include other water features like a waterfall, fountain, or hot tub. We will also design a custom pool that includes high-end luxury features like infinity edges, swim-up bars, sun shelves, rock walls, and grottos.
- Landscape Design – A pool alone isn’t enough to transform your backyard into a resort-style atmosphere. You also need to invest in professional landscape design. We’ll focus on lush, layered landscaping that makes your yard look like a tropical oasis. We’ll also use strategic planning to allow plants to enhance privacy and highlight the natural surrounding beauty of your home. Finally, we’ll use hardscaping and outdoor living elements like lighted pathways, outdoor showers, and built-in seating to complete the transformation.
- Ambiance – Ambiance is a key element of a resort-style backyard. We will create a cohesive design that seamlessly blends outdoor living and dining areas and pool areas. We’ll incorporate layered lighting, fire features like fire pits and fireplaces, and outdoor sound systems to enhance ambience, comfort, and safety. We’ll also develop outdoor living zones that are perfect for dining, cooking, relaxing, and swimming.
- Luxury Amenities – The final touches on your resort-style backyard are luxury amenities. The addition of covered pergolas, cabanas, poolside lounges, hot tubs, and more can make you feel like you’re on vacation each time you step outside.
Creating the Vibe and Ambience of Resort-Style Living
Next, we’ll brainstorm ways to create the vibe, aesthetic, and ambience you associate with resort-style living. Some key elements that we like to incorporate are:
- Custom Pool – We’ll start by designing your dream pool. It will feature luxury amenities like smart lighting and sound, spa-like water jets, swim-up bar, integrated tanning ledges, and water features. Choose from any pool size or design, including infinity pools and custom pool shapes. We can also use other water features like waterfalls, fountains, and a lazy river or grotto.
- Fire Features – Fire features add warmth, ambience, and visual interest. We can recommend a fire pit or outdoor fireplace that you can use year-round.
- Distinct Outdoor Living Zones – Distinct outdoor living zones can enhance privacy, comfort, and relaxation. We’ll help you create separate areas for different activities, like cooking, dining, reading, meditation, swimming, and entertaining. Installing shade structures, umbrellas, comfortable seating, and a cabana, pergola or covered patio, and outdoor kitchen can further enhance your space.
- Comfort – High-quality building materials, furniture, and design will transform your backyard into one of luxury and comfort. We will use a variety of different types of furniture to make sure you always have a place to lounge, relax, and connect with friends and family.
- Ambient Lighting – We will take a layered approach to lighting design, combining multiple lighting styles and types. You’ll have full control over each area with the integration of smart technology.
- Sensory Details – We will engage all your senses by integrating details like colorful fragrant plants, soft textures, warm water, and relaxing music.
Permitting and Zoning
Before we get started, we’ll do all of the research into permitting and zoning regulations in your area. We make the swimming pool installation process as stress-free as possible, and handle every detail carefully from start to finish. We’ll make sure that you’re in full compliance with local regulations each step of the way.
Thoughtful, Custom Details and Finishes
Finally, your pool wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t uniquely suited to your lifestyle and aesthetic. Throughout the process, we will check in with you. Our clear, consistent communication style allows us to gain deeper insight into your vision for your outdoor living space.
