Bonjour and welcome to our photo gallery of infinity pool ideas. And as always, sharing “The Little Plus” (“Le Petit Plus”), hope you enjoy…
Also known as a zero edge pool, this layout gives the illusion that the edge of the pool is never-ending. Realistically, water flows from one edge and into a catch basin that is then recirculated back into the pool resulting in an uninterrupted water flow. This also means less maintenance and cleaning than conventional in-ground counterparts because of its different filtration system. Infinity pools are often located in areas with magnificent views of the ocean, lake, mountain ranges or beautiful cityscape. They work spectacularly well with an ocean view because the pool would look like it extends to the sea.
From simple to spectacular, as you can see from the infinity pool ideas below, there are many appealing custom designs for you to discover if you are considering adding an infinity pool to your outdoor living space. Infinity pools come in many shapes, some with raised walls which can be tiled or decked with lights. Some also have each side flush with the deck (perimeter overflow pools) and where the water flows from all 4 edges simultaneously. Other infinity pools have tanning ledges providing a shallow area for lounging or for enjoying the view. The idea though when adding an infinity is that you want to blend with your surroundings as if it were an extension of a natural body of water.
So please join us in a refreshing dip in our gallery of infinity pool ideas. We hope you get inspired as you enjoy the photos below. Beautiful day to you!
1. Tropical Dream Destination…
The Little Plus: the half-covered, elevated border pool is fresh out of any tropical dream. The half in/half out design provides a choice of protection for the pool-goers from the unfettered sunshine. Without distracting barriers, the view of the ocean and the mountains from this bedroom is just stunning! And for any tropical dream destination, cooling ceiling fan and mosquito netting for the four poster bed is required. Practical at keeping bugs at bay and also so romantic with its sheer material. Oh là là, such bliss!
2. Petite Beach Front…
The Little Plus: the petite infinity pool’s edge ends where the shore starts. The contemporary wood plank deck enclosed by the same neutral color fence is more than just a place for the family to hang out, it can serve as an al fresco dining area and vantage point to enjoy the view of the beach. Who needs a vacation when you have this in your backyard!
3. Amazing Aloha…
The Little Plus: the sunken pool lounge incorporated in the infinity pool structure creates a different dimension for the pool. Imagine being under the pool waterline, surrounded by water, basking under the sun or stars fully dressed. The blue tile surround gives that deep water effect as it contrasts with the white lounge cushions. And the sidewall that doubles as a planter? Instant privacy wall that heightens the I’m-on-a-vacation-in-Hawaii ambiance.
4. Oasis in the City…
The Little Plus: the free form pool conforms to the design of the house and the desert feel of this backyard. Natural boulders and stones, low flowering shrubs, and cactus maintain the desert oasis experience. And a luxurious addition to the home is the stone clad jacuzzi located right in the pool area. This life-saver will soothe every part of your tired body. Who knew the desert could be this cool!
5. Cool Deck…
The Little Plus: the extended steps – convenient as a sunbathing spot or a play area for younger children. Made of non-slippery concrete and stone, its neutral colors are in keeping with the white-washed wooden deck, bringing out the sky blue hue of the water and reminding us of calm seas and sandy shores. And the low spindle railing, unobtrusive and keeps friends and family safe to enjoy the fun pool time amidst the lush trees in the background.
6. Falling for the View…
The Little Plus: the natural rock landscaping blends seamlessly with the surrounding mountains. Rocks and various plants act as a fence while giving the illusion that they were placed there by nature. And complementing the natural ruggedness of the surrounding, the earth toned flooring around the pool made up of irregularly shaped pieces – good non-slip surface for kids and adults alike.
7. Hanging Around the Pool…
The Little Plus: the one-lane lap pool located at the edge of the backyard…really edgy. This fabulous feature offers an amazing view of untouched nature – dense trees, the ocean, and the mountain range. And how about ending comfortably relaxing in one of these ergonomic curved wooden lounge chairs with a cocktail in your hand. Another little plus is the row of potted plants at the edge of the pool adding to the privacy of the space. Perfect, just perfect!
