What Is an Infinity Pool?
An infinity edge pool, also known as a wet edge pool, is an increasingly popular option for residential and commercial property owners across South Florida. These innovative backyard structures typically create an intriguing visual effect that enables the pool to blend with the surrounding environment and appear endless, or infinite.
How Does an Infinity Pool Work?
An infinity pool, also known as a vanishing edge pool, creates a breathtaking visual effect where water appears to merge seamlessly with the horizon. This luxurious infinity pool design works by allowing water to flow over one or more edges into a hidden catch basin below. The water is then recirculated back into the pool, maintaining the illusion of an endless spillover.
Key features of a well-crafted infinity pool design include:
-
Precision Engineering: The pool’s edge must be perfectly level to ensure a smooth, unbroken flow.
-
Hidden Collection Trough: A discreet basin catches overflowing water before it’s filtered and pumped back.
-
Strategic Positioning: Infinity pools are often built on elevated sites, enhancing the illusion of blending with oceans, lakes, or cityscapes.
Whether overlooking a coastline or a scenic valley, an infinity pool design transforms any space into a luxurious retreat. Explore stunning styles and elevate your outdoor living with this mesmerizing architectural masterpiece.

Benefits of Infinity Pools
An infinity pool is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that elevates luxury, creates tranquility, and adds significant value to your property. Here’s why discerning homeowners and luxury resorts often choose this stunning design:
1. Unmatched Visual Impact
The signature vanishing edge creates a mesmerizing illusion of water blending seamlessly with the horizon. Whether perched above an ocean vista, cityscape, or mountain view, an infinity pool transforms any setting into a private paradise.
2. Increases Home Value
As one of the most coveted luxury features, an infinity pool enhances your property’s appeal and can substantially boost its market value.
3. Ideal for Sloped or Hillside Properties
If your yard has elevation changes, an infinity pool works harmoniously with the natural terrain. The design minimizes extensive grading while maximizing panoramic views.
4. Spa-Like Serenity
The soothing sound of water cascading over the edge creates a peaceful, resort-like ambiance. Add ambient lighting for an enchanting evening atmosphere.
5. Endless Design Possibilities
From sleek contemporary styles to lush tropical getaways, an infinity pool can be customized to complement your home’s architecture and landscape. Choose from various materials, edge details, and overflow styles to create your dream pool.

An infinity pool becomes the centerpiece of outdoor entertaining, offering a dramatic backdrop for gatherings, parties, and unforgettable moments.
Design Your Luxury Infinity Pool
Imagine your outdoor space as an oasis, with a beautiful infinity pool at its center. We work closely with you to create pools that are not only architecturally stunning and one-of-a-kind, but also perfectly meet all your needs.
If you’re looking for a substantial, easy-to-install, and maintainable option, consider fiberglass infinity pools as a durable choice. Our experienced designers are experts at creating tailor-made spaces that meet every requirement by consulting with your needs, assessing your property, and ensuring optimal placement for the build.
Picture a spa built into the edge of your vanishing-edge pool that bubbles over, or perhaps sun shelves included within the design – these allow you to lie down comfortably in full sun but only waist-deep in cool water. A well-thought-out deck surrounding your pool won’t just make it look nicer; it’ll also improve its feel, helping to create a smooth transition from landscaped areas to the water.
Endless possibilities come with choosing an infinity pool, and our team takes great care in making sure your ideas turn out exactly as hoped, only more so.

Frequently Asked Questions About Luxury Infinity Pools
What is a luxury infinity pool, and how does it work?
Can I combine an infinity pool and hot tub in one design?
What are the benefits of an infinity pool with a hot tub?
The design combining the infinity pool and hot tub is very appealing since it blends relaxation and elegance. That disappearing edge creates a fantastic scene, especially if your property overlooks a scenic view. Having that spa area right there means you can enjoy soothing hydrotherapy whenever you want. It’s the perfect pairing of style and leisure, designed for year-round enjoyment and enhanced with innovative features like automated temperature control and LED lighting.
Is my property suitable for an infinity pool design?
An elevated location or natural slope, like waterfront houses, is ideal for infinity pools. When we meet with you, we assess the slope of your land, the views it offers, and the positioning of key elements; this helps us determine the best way to integrate the pool's design around these aspects. Our infinity pool builders use precision engineering to create the perfect vanishing edge illusion tailored to your site.
How is the water recycled in an infinity pool?
Overflowing water is gathered in a concealed catch basin under the vanishing edge of an infinity pool. This is done through an innovative recycling system that filters and pumps the water back into the main pool. It's a continuous process; the system not only keeps the pool sparkling clean but also maintains the uninterrupted flow integral to that stunning infinity edge.
What design features can be included in a luxury infinity pool?
Are there any special maintenance requirements for an infinity pool and hot tub?
You may need to give more thought to infinity pool maintenance than you would with a standard pool, due to the equipment involved and the location of the catch basin. However, there's no need to be concerned. Our systems operate smoothly and dependably. We can also offer guidance on upkeep and recommend trusted local experts, as we understand the importance of maintaining your investment's appearance.
How much does it cost to build a luxury infinity pool with a hot tub?
The cost depends on factors like property conditions, size, materials, and added features. Because of the engineering involved, infinity pools and hot tubs are typically a higher investment than standard pools. That said, they offer unmatched visual appeal and long-term value, especially in South Florida's luxury home market.
