10 Insta-Famous Pools That Could Be Yours!
February 24, 2022
Seen a pool on the socials that you’d love to replicate at home? Well, you can! From tiling, landscaping and water features, to lighting and greenery, there are so many ways to have your dream pool right there in your own backyard. Here are 10 amazing pools to inspire you.
Did you know that according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an astonishing $11.82 billion worth of renovation approvals was given across our country over the 12 months to October 2021?
In fact, renovation approvals in NSW that same month totalled $335,684 million and according to experts, this is set to continue throughout 2022 as property prices continue to climb and homeowners decide to use some of their extra equity to finance improvements.
Whilst most Australians want a new kitchen, we’re seeing coming a close second is actually a new pool. Aussies are making an investment in their backyards by using money previously set aside for overseas travel.
So are you one of those who are thinking of creating your own show-stopping backyard?
Today is your lucky day.
Because right here right now, we’re going to devote a spotlight to 10 of the world’s most amaaazing pools that you can re-create (and it’s waaay easier than you think!).
From Moroccan plunge pools, OTT Vegas glamour pools, infinity pools and so much more, there’s a lot you can do to transform your backyard from simple to breathtaking.
But it’s not just the pool that creates that stunning aura – it’s also what you put around it. Landscaping, water features, furniture, built-in lounges (you can create a lounge within your pool…epic!), greenery and vibrant colour schemes can all completely change your world.
Inside, you’re in Australia, but step outside and OMG! 😮 It’s as though you’ve been magically transported to a luxury resort in Bali, Las Vegas or LA!

Well, we’ve been addicted to IG for about 11 years now and not to mention, we were truly humbled to be part of Australian Financial Review’s prestigious Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in 2021. So we think it’s safe to say that we’ve nailed how to track down pool inspo at the very least 😉

Got a hillside block? You too can have a pool like this cracker at Bali’s Jungle Fish restaurant. Building over 1,000 pools annually and humbly winning more than 350 industry design awards, We’ve yet to meet a block that we couldn’t handle!
Here’s one of our pool projects that truly unleashed our team’s creativity and ability in building a pool on a sloping block. As the house of our client in Eleebana was built on uneven land, we pulled off an elevated backyard oasis that gives access to the beautiful Lake Macquarie skyline. To ensure safety whilst maximising elegance and exquisite nature views, we also placed a glass pool fence facing the street and a wood fence on the side.
Pink perfection
