Your pool isn’t just for swimming; it’s a canvas for creating a personal outdoor retreat. With thoughtful design and carefully chosen elements, your pool area can transform into a tranquil oasis where you can unwind, entertain, and escape the stresses of daily life. Let’s explore some key elements to consider when crafting your ultimate poolside outdoor retreat.

Illuminating Your Oasis 

Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the mood for your outdoor retreat. During the day, natural sunlight is ideal, but as dusk approaches, carefully placed lighting can enhance the ambiance. Consider soft, warm lighting around the pool’s perimeter for a subtle glow, or strategically placed spotlights to highlight architectural features or landscaping. String lights draped overhead create a magical atmosphere, while lanterns or torches add a touch of whimsy.

Poolside Additions for Ultimate Relaxation

Transform your pool area into a resort-style retreat with thoughtful additions. A soothing waterfall or cascading fountain not only adds visual interest but also creates a tranquil soundscape. Incorporate a spa or hot tub for the ultimate in relaxation, allowing you to soak away stress and muscle tension. Fire features like fire pits or fireplaces create a cozy gathering spot for cool evenings, extending the enjoyment of your outdoor retreat into the cooler months.

Sounds of Serenity

Music can elevate the ambiance of your outdoor retreat. Install weatherproof speakers around the pool area to create a customized soundtrack for relaxation or entertainment. Opt for a Bluetooth-enabled system for seamless streaming from your phone or tablet, allowing you to adjust the mood with ease. Consider incorporating natural sounds like birdsong or running water to enhance the tranquil atmosphere.

Landscaping Your Outdoor Retreat

Lush greenery and vibrant foliage can transform your pool area into a tropical paradise. Choose plants that thrive in your climate and require minimal maintenance. Incorporate a variety of textures and colors to create visual interest. Flowering plants add a burst of color and fragrance, while tall grasses or shrubs provide privacy and create a natural enclosure. Remember to consider the placement of plants to ensure they don’t obstruct views or impede access to the pool.

Shade and Shelter

While basking in the sun can be delightful, having options for shade is essential for creating a comfortable outdoor retreat. Pergolas offer a stylish and functional solution, providing partial shade while also serving as a support structure for climbing plants or hanging lights. Retractable awnings or umbrellas offer flexible shade options, allowing you to adjust the amount of sunlight as needed. Consider incorporating a cabana or gazebo for a dedicated shaded lounge area, complete with comfortable seating and perhaps even a ceiling fan for added comfort.

The Ultimate Poolside Outdoor Retreat

By incorporating these elements into your pool area design, you can create a personalized outdoor retreat that caters to your individual preferences and lifestyle. Whether you envision a serene sanctuary for relaxation or a vibrant gathering space for entertaining, the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination run wild and transform your poolside into the ultimate destination for rest, rejuvenation, and enjoyment.

We interviewed multiple pool companies in January 2021, and if we proceeded with the installation of a new pool, it would be our third pool installed. We ultimately made the decision to hire Supreme Pools and Spas over the others we interviewed. No regrets! Supreme Pools and Spas came through on all of their promises. -- Are you reading this review because you're considering installation of a swimming pool? If so, save yourself some time and look no further. There's no need. Why hire Supreme Pools and Spas over other pool companies? What makes them different, you ask? Because not only are they a very well-established, long-standing organization with a stellar history in our community, ...and provide an exceptional product as well, ... but what is also different about Supreme Pools and Spas is the continued service that follows the installation. ... and if you've never installed a pool before, rest assured, you will need a supplier who continues to treat you as a 'lifetime valued customer' and provide you with the service you need, post-installation. Whenever I need assistance with something, it's as simple as a phone call to their main office. If I don't need on-site support, but just need some advice, likewise, it's as simple as a phone call. Their service team is profoundly responsive, and nothing short of outstanding. If you're moving forward with plans to install a pool, hire Supreme Pools and Spas. They're the best in the area, and you'll be pleased with their products and their ongoing service for many years to come.

Top notch design and build. Great customer service. Tyler heard all the things we were looking to include in our dream backyard and laid them out well. Will and team made sure we were happy with the finished product. As with any project, issues arise. Supreme worked through them all with class. Thank You!

We are very pleased with our Supreme Pool. BJ , Will and Nick were great helping with design, construction and operation. The Jandy pumps and filter have been trouble free. Freeze protection works fine. Shallow deck with the in-pool umbrella is great for kids. We've been using it for 2 1/2 years. Will provides quick help when we have questions. Thanks

Supreme Pools was/has been amazing to work with in building our dream pool. From start to finish. Great communication, quick renderings & several options when designing the aesthetic of the pool. Quick build even during a rainy season. They have gone above & beyond when called to help with questions about the equipment and quick to respond with any minor tile repairs. Definitely recommend!

We are obsessed with our pool, which was completed within 30 days! We could not be happier with our results! From B.J.'s designing/planning to William's supervising, Supreme Pools was professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. They even followed up after completion to ensure everything was running smoothly and taught us how to use all the equipment. I highly recommend this company.
