How to Plan the Perfect Pool for Entertaining

A pool isn’t just for cooling off—it’s a centerpiece for fun, relaxation, and making memories with friends and family. If you love to host gatherings, a well-designed entertainment-focused pool can turn your backyard into the go-to destination for summer hangouts. Kingswood Outdoors helps homeowners plan pools that balance functionality, style, and social appeal.

Key Features for an Entertaining-Friendly Pool

1. Tanning Ledges

• Perfect for lounging in shallow water with a drink in hand. Add umbrella sleeves and built-in loungers for maximum comfort.

2. Swim-Up Bars

• Bring the resort feel home with a built-in bar where guests can enjoy refreshments without leaving the pool.

3. Integrated Spas

• Hot tubs or spa jets provide a relaxing spot and keep the fun going even when the temperature drops.

4. LED Lighting

• Set the mood with customizable lights that change color for evening ambiance and nighttime visibility.

5. Water Features

• Fountains, waterfalls, or bubblers not only look stunning but also create soothing background sounds.

6. Ample Deck Space

• Create plenty of room around the pool for lounging, dining, and socializing. Choose non-slip materials that look great and stay cool underfoot.

Additional Elements to Enhance the Experience

1. Outdoor Kitchen or Grill Area

• Keep the party going with a poolside cooking setup for easy meals and drinks.

2. Fire Features

• Fire pits or bowls add warmth, drama, and a cozy place to gather after dark.

3. Sound Systems

• Waterproof speakers can be integrated into your landscaping or pool features for seamless entertainment.

4. Shade Structures

• Pergolas, umbrellas, or cabanas offer sun relief and define social zones around the pool.

Tips for Planning a Pool Designed for Guests

1. Think About Flow

• Ensure there’s a natural flow between the pool, dining, lounging, and entry areas to keep things comfortable and accessible.

2. Focus on Seating

• Built-in benches, ledges, and poolside furniture make it easy for guests to relax, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere.

3. Include Storage

• Plan for space to store towels, pool toys, and outdoor games to keep things tidy and organized.

4. Plan for Lighting and Power

• Make sure outlets and lighting are in place to accommodate nighttime events and electronic needs.

5. Customize for Your Crowd

• Whether it’s kids, adults, or a mix, customize features to suit how you host—like splash zones, shallow ends, or drink rails.
