Having an outdoor pool is great, during summertime you can jump into the water to cool off and have fun. It’s also a good form of entertainment as there are lots of fun activities you can try out in the pool with your family members and friends.

Despite being so great, there are also times when outdoor pools aren’t ideal. For example, during winter, swimming out in the cold doesn’t seem like such a great idea. For situations like that, having an Indoor pool seems like a much better option.

With an indoor pool, you don’t have to wait for summertime to enjoy swimming in a pool, you can have a good swim anytime and any day. The outdoor temperature isn’t the only reason to consider building a pool for indoor spa, it’s also a better option for buggy climates (no wind, hail, snow, rain, or other weather conditions).

Are you thinking of building an indoor spa? Then you should go through our best pool designs for indoor spas.

Screened-In Indoor Swimming Pool

The screened-in indoor swimming pool is a popular option for people living in regions with hot climates. For this design, a screen enclosure is built around the pool—the screen helps in cutting the cost of general maintenance. The screen blocks insects, dirt, debris, leaves, etc., from falling into the pool or dirtying the surrounding area of the pool.

Depending on the type of screen being used, it can also offer shade from intense sunlight and also block rainfall. The biggest disadvantage of this indoor pool design is that it’s harder to moderate the temperature of the water and the pool deck space. 

Completely Enclosed Indoor Pool

A completely enclosed indoor pool is a great option if you’d like to dive into the pool any time of day or year regardless of the outdoor weather. This pool design makes maintenance easy since you don’t have to skim outdoor debris and you can perfectly control the temperature.

Depending on the space you choose to work with, there are endless options or possibilities for an enclosed pool, including an additional hot tub, waterfall features, a water slide, etc. Additionally, since there’s a roof over your head, this design minimizes exposure to the sun’s UV rays during swimming sessions.

Indoor Lap Pool

If the purpose of creating an indoor pool isn’t solely for pleasure but for exercise, then you don’t have to devote a great deal of space to building your indoor pool. With a long, narrow design that’s suitable for lap after lap, the indoor lap pool can deliver the function you want without forcing you to break the bank or use too much space.

If you opt for an above-ground endless pool design, you can perform laps without cutting into the foundation of the structure. And even if you choose a prefabricated endless lap pool, you will still be able to obtain a custom look with the right pool decking and stairs.

Indoor Plunge Pool

Indoor plunge pools are quite popular because of the therapeutic benefits they offer. This indoor pool design is great for soothing pains and aches or simply unwinding. Indoor plunge pools are generally more shallow and smaller than full-sized pools.

Indoor Spa Pool

Although the definition of a spa pool may vary from a hot tub to pool, the key element of a spa pool remains the same. 

The key element of any spa pool is the hydrotherapy element—this element heats the pool and ideally works better with jets to provide ultimate comfort.

An indoor spa pool can be installed on concrete and it’s usually smaller than a typical lap pool.
