Hotels with spectacular swim-up rooms: poolside paradise

There are few things in life that scream 'luxury' as much as hotels with their very own swim-up rooms...

From patio to pool in seconds, a swim-up suite sees steps leading straight from your private terrace into cool aqua water.

No early-bird rush to claim the best sun-lounger, no dripping all over the hotel lobby and no worrying about forgetting your sunglasses on your bedside locker – everyone should experience the indulgence of staying in a swim-up room at least once in their life.

Walking to the pool is so 2016…

Infinity edge pools, open-air restaurants and swim-up rooms

1/3

Calabash Cove is an upscale boutique resort that looks out over Bonaire Bay on the dreamy island of St. Lucia.

At this romantic and peaceful retreat, there are breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea from virtually every vantage point. Enjoy the endless blue, whether you find yourself floating in the gorgeous infinity pool Sweetwaters, or indulging in authentic West Indies fare at Windsong, the open-air restaurant.

Choose a Swim-Up Junior Suite, and at night you’ll sleep in a romantic four-poster bed after unwinding in your very own Jacuzzi. From your private terrace screened by lush greenery, steps lead right into the infinity edge pool. What could be more idyllic than unrestricted access to crystal clear waters – especially for a midnight swim right by your patio!

Without a doubt, one of the best features of the swim-up room is not only being able to dip in and out of the pool at your leisure, but also grabbing a cool drink from the in-pool bar. Nothing else complements a stunning sunset quite like a happy-hour cocktail, after all.
