Discover the Right Spa for Your Pool Design
When planning a custom pool, one of the most exciting design choices is selecting the spa that best fits your style, space, and lifestyle. A spa is more than just an add-on feature — it’s the heart of relaxation, where you can unwind after a long day, enjoy hydrotherapy benefits, and create a focal point that enhances the beauty of your entire backyard.
At Apex Pavers & Pools, we’ve designed countless luxury pools across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach, and we know that every client’s vision is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of spa designs that can be tailored to your preferences. Below, we explore some of the most popular spa styles to help you decide which one is right for you.
Raised Spas: Elevated Elegance
A raised spa sits above the pool deck, often designed with a beautiful spillover effect that cascades into the main pool. This creates a soothing waterfall sound that many homeowners love, adding a sense of tranquility to the space.
Raised spas also provide opportunities for customization — from decorative tile finishes on the exterior wall to a sleek ledge detail that complements your pool design. Beyond aesthetics, the elevated placement can make it easier to step in and out, while also doubling as a visual centerpiece in your outdoor living area.
Flush Spas: Seamless Sophistication
For those who prefer a clean, integrated look, a flush spa is an excellent choice. These spas sit level with the pool, creating the appearance of one continuous body of water.
A flush spa can be designed directly within the pool or positioned just beside it as a stand-alone feature. Either way, the result is modern, minimalist, and highly functional. This design is perfect for homeowners who want a spa that blends seamlessly into the pool environment without interrupting the overall flow.
Infinity Edge Spas: Resort-Style Luxury
If your vision of outdoor living includes dramatic, showstopping design, an infinity edge spa might be the perfect option. With water spilling over one or more sides, this spa style creates the illusion of a vanishing edge — a design feature often seen at luxury resorts.
Infinity edge spas can be designed as part of your pool or built as an independent feature, offering flexibility in how they fit into your backyard. Whether overlooking a waterway, golf course, or lush landscaping, the infinity edge effect adds an unmatched sense of sophistication.
Why Add a Spa to Your Pool Design?
Aside from their visual impact, spas offer wellness benefits such as stress relief, improved circulation, and relaxation for sore muscles. They also extend the use of your pool area, making it enjoyable year-round — whether you’re cooling off on a summer day or soaking in warm, bubbling water on a cool evening.
A well-designed spa also increases the value of your home, making it not only a personal luxury but a smart investment.
