To feel like you are swimming in a pool at a resort as opposed to your own backyard, I bet you are thinking you need to conjure up a cabana boy straight from ancient Greece who is fully equipped to fan you with palms and hand-feed you grapes. You can certainly try that route, but there are so many other ways to make your backyard swimming pool area feel like an oasis…

For instance, a bunch of floating accessories – such as floating trays of snacks and beverages, luxurious floating inflatable loungers for the sunworshippers among you and floating solar lights for your nighttime pool excursions – will certainly help.

Okay, so fantastic floaties aside, what should swathe your pool in resort-style luxury? Both shaded and full-sun (to accommodate everyone’s poolside pleasure) intimate seating areas for socializing should definitely be part of your poolside appeal, as could planters brimming with colorful cascading flowers and lighting which could be modern corner deck lights, whimsical fairy lights or blazing tiki torches. You decide.

You could even take things up a notch or two with a poolside bar offering access to refreshing drinks and plush, oversized towels or water features which blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape and instill a sense of calm.

Don’t forget the sparkling, crystal clear, resort-worthy pool water that the New Smyrna Beach SE Pool & Spa premier pool cleaning professionals can provide!
