Hotels with swimming pools are accommodations that include at least one private bathing area within their facilities, whether it's an outdoor, indoor, heated, or infinity pool. The swimming pool is one of the most valued amenities by travellers, in both beach destinations and city hotels.
Within Meliá Hotels International, the range of pools extends from large complexes with several pools and children's water areas in holiday resorts, to rooftop panoramic pools in city hotels such as those of ME by Meliá or INNSiDE by Meliá.
Whether for swimming, sunbathing, cooling off, or simply relaxing by the water, the swimming pool is an element that transforms the accommodation experience.
Main features of a hotel with a swimming pool:
- Outdoor pools with sun loungers, sunbeds, and towel service.
- Indoor or heated pools that allow swimming all year round.
- Infinity pools and panoramic pools with views of the sea, mountains, or urban skyline.
- Children's water areas with splash pads, slides, and water games in family resorts.
Benefits of staying at a hotel with a swimming pool
Choosing a hotel with a swimming pool guarantees you a space for leisure and relaxation accessible at any time during your stay. It is a particularly valued option for summer holidays, weekend getaways, or family trips where water is an essential part of the plan.
In the group's holiday resorts, pools are usually complemented by pool bars, Balinese beds, and poolside dining services, while in city hotels they offer a space for premium disconnection with privileged views.
Most outstanding advantages:
- Leisure and refreshment space available without leaving the hotel.
- Ideal complement for both beach holidays and city stays.
- Relaxation area with sunbeds, solarium, and bar or restaurant services by the pool.
- Pools adapted for families with children in holiday resorts.
Tips for choosing a hotel with a swimming pool
Before booking, it's advisable to consider what type of pool you need. When travelling with the family, prioritise hotels with children's water areas; however, if you're looking for a more exclusive experience, the infinity pools or rooftop pools in city hotels are a great option.
It's also important to consider the season: in destinations with a temperate climate, check if the pool is heated or seasonal only.
Practical recommendations:
- Check if the pool is outdoor, indoor, or heated depending on the time of year you are travelling.
- If travelling with children, check that the hotel has a children's pool area with adapted depth.
- Consider the views and location of the pool: a panoramic pool or one facing the sea can transform the experience.
- Check if they offer sunbeds, towels, and pool bar service.
- In beach destinations, the pool is a perfect complement for windy or high-tide days.
