Sometimes, the best vacations are the ones where you don’t even have to pack a bag. Forget the airport queues, tantrums over what to take with you, and the inconveniences of being away from home amenities. With the growing popularity of staycations, more homeowners are choosing to transform their backyards into personal retreats. Luxurious escape is easier than you might think.
At Waterworks Pools & Spas, we specialize in helping you turn your backyard into the ultimate staycation destination. Here’s how you can create your very own oasis and enjoy resort-style living -all without leaving home.
Why Staycations Are Becoming So Popular
When you get some precious time off, you want to relax and recharge, without the hassles of travel. Staycations have become a popular alternative to traditional vacations, offering the same sense of relaxation and luxury without the expense of flights, hotels, or long drives.
By investing in your backyard, you can create a space that’s always available, whether it’s for a quick soak in the spa after work, a weekend by the pool with family, or hosting friends for an evening gathering. With the right pool or spa, your backyard becomes your private getaway, perfect for creating memories and enjoying the comforts of home.
How a Spa or Pool Transforms Your Space
Adding a spa or pool to your backyard instantly elevates the experience. Here’s how they create that resort-like feel:
- Relaxation at Your Fingertips: A spa offers the ultimate retreat for relaxation and wellness. Hydrotherapy jets melt away stress, ease muscle tension, and improve circulation, leaving you feeling rejuvenated. Pair that with a pool for cooling off during the day, and you’ve got a complete relaxation package.
- Fun and Connection: Pools are perfect for family fun, whether it’s a game of water volleyball or simply splashing around on a hot summer day. Spas provide a more intimate setting for quiet conversations or connecting with friends. Together, they create the ultimate social space.
- Year-Round Enjoyment: While pools are typically used in the summer, spas can be enjoyed year-round. Imagine soaking in the warm water on a crisp fall evening or a snowy winter night. It’s the perfect way to make your backyard feel like an all-season retreat.
Features That Add a Resort-Like Feel
To take your backyard staycation to the next level, consider adding these features to your pool or spa:
- LED Lighting for Ambiance: Lighting is key to setting the mood, especially in the evening. Install underwater LED lights in your pool or spa to create a calming atmosphere or a fun party vibe.
- Water Features: Enhance your pool with features like fountains, waterfalls, or deck jets. Not only do they look stunning, but the sound of flowing water adds a sense of tranquillity to your space.
- Tanning Ledges: A tanning ledge in your pool provides a shallow area for lounging, sunbathing, or letting little ones splash around safely.
- Comfortable Accessories: Invest in quality loungers, umbrellas, and side tables to create a resort-style seating area. Add plush towels and cushions to make it even more inviting.
Practical Tips to Create the Staycation Vibe
It’s not just about the pool or spa, of course. To create the perfect staycation, you have to create an overall atmosphere that feels like a getaway. It’s very individual, but here are some ideas.
- Add lush greenery, tropical plants, or privacy screens around your pool or spa to create a secluded retreat. Even a few potted plants can make a big difference in transforming the space.
- Music is a must-have for setting the mood. Consider adding some outdoor speakers so you can switch the mood between calming tunes for a relaxing soak or upbeat playlists for a pool party.
- Nothing ruins a staycation faster than cloudy water or algae buildup. Regular maintenance and balanced water chemistry are key to keeping your pool and spa sparkling clean. Pool cleaning might not feel appealing if your backyard is central to your staycation, so feel free to ask us to take care of your pool maintenance for you.
- String lights, lanterns, or fire pits can transform your backyard into a cozy retreat for evening relaxation. Pair these with your spa for the ultimate nighttime escape.
