These Chic Hotel Suites With Private Pool Are Calling Out Your Name!
If you’re not chilling in your private pool, is it even a vacay?
Private pool. Two words that stand for everything glamorous and soothing. The perfect words that describe the perfect vacation to take with bae or bestie. The good thing about travel for us has been these two: me-time and private pools and that’s the best way to self-care this year. And in a way, that’s what prompted us to check out the best ones in the business. So here’s a look at our favourite pools with all the privacy you need from around the world. Yep, after you’re done ogling at these spaces, we’ll help you pick that jaw off the floor.
Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Seychelles
First of all, we love Seychelles – it’s just such a secluded space and for us who want a break from our busy lives, it’s the perfect spot to unravel your mind and just let go. This amazing hotel though is a hop, skip and jump away from it all – located on the private island of Félicité in Seychelles with 30 private pool villas. First off, you have access to the most stunning of ocean views and second, it’s also a sustainable space as the resort houses its own osmosis plant and water refinery and prioritizes the use of solar energy. And this glass pool says it all. Book here.
