Private pools | European hotels with private in-room pools

In the five-star Elounda Peninsula, you will be spoiled for choice between nine different categories of suites and villas with pool access. It can be just the two of you, or as many as eight friends with suites varying in size, some boasting sea views and a private garden. If you are travelling perhaps as a family, your hotel room with your own private pool has the added benefit of being able to keep a close eye on the kids, whilst enjoying alone-time with your closest loved ones.

When you do venture out of your suite, you can enjoy the Six Senses Spa, play a round of golf or enjoy time on the Blue-Flag beach – ideal if you have small children.

For those looking for the ultimate secret escape, there are plenty of choices at the Baobab Suites. Rooms can accommodate from two to seven people, and each hotel room comes with its own private pool. No splashing and screaming children in your pool (unless they’re your own), and if you’ve forgotten your sunscreen there’s no need to schlep back to your suite, it’s simply a few steps away.

The hotel is oozing grown-up chic, with minimalist interiors, a grey and white palette and gentle beats in the background creating an ambiance of relaxed sophistication. Among the many amenities of this five-star facility, is the Activate fitness centre, where you and your lover can enjoy a friendly-but-still-competitive game of open-air tennis on their expansive outdoor courts.

The Perivolas Suites exude the summer lightness of the classic Greek design with white-washed walls and individual colour accents and windows opening out onto beautiful views.

Some suites even have their own sauna or Jacuzzi, which are dug into the floor to meld seamlessly with the cave-like architecture of the rooms. The hotel is moulded so perfectly into the steep rock of Santorini, that one might even think it had always been there!

Our first hotel is located in a country famous for wine and cheese, so we’re already off to a romantic start! Château de la Chèvre d’Or ensures complete security from any third wheelers when you book the Panoramic Suite, the hotel room which comes complete with its own pool.

Here, there is everything you could wish for on a luxurious beach holiday: a dressing room, a private jacuzzi, a spectacular view of the Mediterranean and not to be forgotten, a spacious outdoor terrace. You can soak up the sun without having to race down and reserve a sunbed at 6am, and enjoy the private pool until your skin is completely wrinkly.

The Prestige Suite at Le Vallon de Valrugues & Spa, also has its own swimming pool. Here you can spend your holidays undisturbed and have acres of space to yourselves – the 220 m² suite has four bedrooms, so there’s plenty of room should you decide to invite a chosen few to join the party. In the evening, why not sit with a glass of French wine on one of three terraces and then go for a starlit swim in the hotel room’s private pool – just because you can!

If you are someone who, when on holiday, likes to have everything at your fingertips, then the H1898 deserves a closer look; the hotel offers the best of both worlds, located in the lively metropolitan zone La Rambla and offers you the luxury of your own pool overlooking the sea.

The suites in the Colonial category are each a small oasis of tranquillity, with a 60 m² terrace, a private pool and a private Jacuzzi. So, if it’s shopping, clubbing, enjoying the hotel room with the private pool or gazing out to sea, whatever it is you like to do on holiday, this hotel has everything.

Young (or even those still young at heart) lovers will find the suites in the Hotel Pitrizza simply perfect! If you want to cool down a bit, you don’t even need to leave your room, because, of course, all the rooms have their own private swimming pool.

The luxurious pools are so perfectly inserted into the Sardinian landscape that you feel like you’re swimming in a natural pool, whilst enjoying the sunshine and the sounds of waves breaking.

In the Avra Imperial Beach Resort & Spa, there are five different categories of rooms and suites in which you can splash undisturbed. In some suites, there are private Jacuzzis and hydro-massage showers, or you can book the Deluxe Suite to enjoy your own outdoor, private pool in your hotel room.
