The best luxury pool designs do not start with a shape. They start with the house, the view and the way the family wants to use the water. Below are luxury pools we have designed and built across Florida, with the design ideas behind each one, so you can see what is possible on your own property.
Every pool here was designed in our Design Studio, where the same team designs, engineers and prices your pool in 3D before anything is dug.
Modern luxury pool designs
Rectilinear pool with an integrated glass-tile spa
The idea: clean geometry that lets the lake do the talking. The spa sits inside the pool’s footprint instead of beside it, so the whole composition reads as one calm plane of water. More in modern luxury pools.
Lakefront pool and spa with a vanishing view
The idea: an edge that disappears toward the water, so the pool and lake look like one surface from the house. Vanishing edges take precise engineering, especially on Florida lots with a high water table. See infinity edge pool design and what an infinity pool costs.
Resort-style luxury pool designs
Water bowls and spillways on the lake
The idea: sound and movement. Water bowls spilling into the pool add the soft white noise that makes a backyard feel like a resort, and they frame the view instead of blocking it. See our Lake Nona work.
Lagoon pool with a rock waterfall
The idea: a natural-looking lagoon with rockwork, varied depths and a waterfall, built to feel like it was always there. Read about lagoon pools.
Grotto with an evening lighting scene
The idea: a hidden room behind the water. Grottos give kids an adventure and adults a shaded spot to sit in the water. The details that matter are in how to properly lay rock for a grotto.
Luxury spa designs
Raised spa with a glass mosaic wall
The idea: lift the spa so its spillover becomes a water feature, then finish the wall in glass mosaic so it glows at night. See our Bella Collina work.
Lakefront pool and spa for a new home
The idea: design the pool with the house, not after it. On new construction, we coordinate plumbing, electrical and footings with the home builder from the start. See Lake Mary and champagne spas with perimeter overflow.
Fire, water and tile details
Water and fire feature
The idea: put the most dramatic element where you will see it from the main living space. Read fire and water features in luxury pool design.
Feature tile
The idea: tile is the jewelry of a pool. The waterline and feature tile set the tone of the whole design and even affect how the water color reads. See why waterline tile matters and how your finish sets your water color.
Night lighting
The idea: in Florida, the pool gets the most use after sunset. Lighting scenes controlled from your phone make the backyard as good at night as it is by day. See pool automation and pool lighting options.
What makes a pool design luxury
- It is designed for the site. Views, sun angles, setbacks, soil and water table shape the design, not a template.
- Every detail is resolved on paper. Edges, transitions, drainage and lighting are drawn before construction, not figured out in the field.
- The materials are built for Florida. Finishes, tile, stone and equipment chosen for sun, heat, humidity and, on the coast, salt air. See our pool materials.
- It is part of the whole backyard. The pool, outdoor kitchen, shade, fire and landscape are designed together. See luxury backyard design in Florida.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a luxury pool design?
Start with how you will use it: laps, lounging, entertaining, kids, or the view. Then let the site decide the shape. A good designer will show you several directions in 3D before you commit.
What is the most popular luxury pool design in Florida right now?
Clean modern pools with integrated spas, large sun shelves and vanishing edges toward a view are the most requested. See 2026 pool design trends.
Can I see my pool before it is built?
Yes. Our Design Studio models your pool and backyard in 3D on your actual lot, with a fixed price in your design book before we break ground.
Do you design pools across Florida?
Yes. We design and build across Florida from offices in Sanford, Lake Nona, Merritt Island and St. Augustine. We do not serve South Florida.
