This Bali-style pool on the Costa Brava forms part of a contemporary home surrounded by Mediterranean planting. The project combines an interior finish in green and blue tones with a natural wood deck, creating a warm, bright outdoor space connected to the garden.
The pool is designed as the centre of the leisure area, positioned in front of the large windows and outdoor lounge. Its rectangular geometry maintains the clean language of the architecture, while the materials add texture and a more organic atmosphere.
Bali-style pool on the Costa Brava
The Bali-inspired glass mosaic combines small tiles in different shades of green and dark blue. This blend changes the colour of the water with the daylight and creates a richly nuanced surface, far removed from the uniform appearance of a conventional finish.
The colours of the pool echo the olive trees, palm trees and other planting in the garden. As the water moves, reflections of the sky and plants multiply across the mosaic, enhancing the natural, Mediterranean character of the space.
Natural wood deck around the water
The pool is surrounded by a natural wood deck that connects the home’s different outdoor spaces. The same surface follows the perimeter of the pool and creates a continuous platform for walking, sunbathing or arranging lounge furniture.
The warm tones of the wood contrast with the intense colour of the water and the white volumes of the house. The joints, changes in direction and transitions to the pool have been executed with precision to maintain a clean composition suited to the contemporary architecture.
Built-in steps and a submerged bench
The main access is provided by a built-in staircase integrated into one end of the pool. The steps allow a gradual entry into the water and keep the central area clear for swimming. The Bali finish also covers the staircase, ensuring visual continuity throughout the interior.
A submerged bench designed as a relaxation area is incorporated into the same element. Its position allows bathers to sit in the water, talk or look out over the garden without taking up the main swimming space. The staircase and bench form a single discreet, functional volume.
Mosaic-clad, visually integrated skimmers
The pool uses a skimmer system, but special care has been given to the visible elements. The openings are clad in the same glass mosaic as the walls, allowing them to blend into the pool perimeter without interrupting the continuous appearance of the finish.
This integration reduces the visual impact of the technical components and maintains a clean waterline. The system collects water from the surface and sends it to the filtration system while preserving the project’s calm aesthetic.
Electrolysis for water treatment
Water is treated by electrolysis, a solution that simplifies routine maintenance and automates part of the water management. The equipment works together with the filtration system to maintain suitable conditions throughout the swimming season.
The technical installation remains out of sight from the terrace, preserving the direct relationship between the pool, wood and garden. The interior fittings are also positioned discreetly to respect the composition of the mosaic.
LED lighting and night-time atmosphere
Underwater LED lighting brings out the mosaic’s range of colours as the natural light fades. The light sources cast reflections across the small glass tiles, emphasise the pool’s rectangular shape and illuminate the steps and bench.
At night, the pool becomes an atmospheric feature connected to the outdoor lounge. The result is a Bali-style pool on the Costa Brava that combines a traditional skimmer system with meticulous execution, natural materials and harmonious integration into the contemporary home.
