The Three Styles of Natural Pools

TRADITIONAL

Natural Swimming Pools (Biopools)

Design Styles to Match Your Vision

Beyond the three main models, biopools can be styled to fit architectural and lifestyle preferences:

• Naturalistic – organic shapes, irregular edges, rocks, and greenery.

• Contemporary – minimalist design, sleek finishes, seamless edges.

• Formal – symmetrical shapes, stone borders, and structured landscaping.

This flexibility means biopools adapt equally well to modern villas, rustic retreats, or luxury resorts. Now let's discover what amazing features you can add to your dream pool.

Where to begin?

• Looks most like a traditional swimming pool.

• Clean lines, sharp rims, possibly with metal bars or a tiled finish.

• Best for contemporary homes or clients who want the familiar look of a pool with all the health and environmental benefits of a natural system and pure water.

Traditional & Naturalistic

• Closest to a wild swimming pond.

• Rock formations, lush vegetation, and even fish can be integrated.

• Ideal for nature lovers, eco-retreats, or gardens designed to encourage biodiversity.

• Fits in better with natural setting than Traditional Biopool

Water Features for Tranquility

• Waterfalls – create soothing sound and motion. You can control the intensity and sound; maybe at night you want to tone it down a bit.

• Fountains – add elegance and playful energy.

• Hidden caves or grottos – adventurous design for children and wellness spaces.

• Hot tubs – for year-round relaxation.

In-Pool Elements

• Jumping rocks for fun and dynamic use. Other than most natural pool builders, at Aqua Vitae we secure the rocks with steel and mortar, for safety - they won’t move anymore, so you can swim next to them in peace and let children jump on them.

• Beaches or shallow entries for toddlers and easy access.

• Jetties, rock seats, and stone benches for lounging in the water.

• Stepping stones and boulders to add character and charm.

Surrounding Design

• Wetland filtration systems with multiple levels and streams create a natural look while purifying water.

• Perimeter plantings attract birds, dragonflies, and butterflies, turning your pool into a living ecosystem. We match the type of tree or plant with the overall style and aesthetic.

Why Aesthetics Matter

A biopool is more than a place to swim - it’s a focal point of your outdoor living space.

• For families, it becomes a natural gathering place.

• For eco-retreats and hospitality investors, it creates a wow-factor for guests while reinforcing a commitment to sustainability. Guess what will be on the homepage video?

• For homeowners, it boosts property value by merging beauty, wellness, and eco-luxury.

Traditional pools are often rigid rectangles - blue tiles, concrete edges, and sharp corners that clash with their natural surroundings. Even some natural swimming pools suffer from this. In contrast, Aqua Vitae’s natural swimming pools are designed to blend harmoniously into natural landscapes, whether in a family garden, a luxury villa, or an eco-retreat.

Choosing a natural swimming pool means choosing a personalized design experience. From modern minimalist to wild pond-like models and from waterfalls to caves every pool is unique.
