Luxury Pool Features & Finishes That Elevate Your Backyard
The right pool features are what turn a functional pool into a standout one. At Sapphire Pools and Spas, we design and install a full range of swimming pool features for homeowners across Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, and Port St Lucie counties – from finishes and lighting to water features and safety upgrades.
Whether you’re planning a new build or adding to an existing pool, this is where the details come together.
About Us
Finishes That Define Your Pool's Look
Every pool’s finish sets the tone for the entire space. We work with a range of materials, each suited to different looks and budgets:
- Plaster – a classic, budget-friendly finish with a smooth, clean look
- Pebble Tec – textured, durable, and resistant to wear over time
- Quartz – a refined, slightly reflective finish with added durability
- Tile – the most customizable option, ideal for accenting waterlines, steps, or full surfaces
These finishes work for both new builds and resurfacing projects – if you’re updating an existing pool rather than starting fresh, explore our Pool Remodeling page.
Swimming Pool Features That Make The Pool Uniquely Yours
Beyond the finish, it’s the added features that give a pool its character. Some of the most requested additions include:
- Pool water features – waterfalls, bubblers, and deck jets that add movement, sound, and visual interest
- Accent and underwater lighting – for a pool that looks just as striking at night as during the day
- Baja shelves, sun shelves, and tanning ledges – shallow-water spaces built for lounging
- Decking and coping – framing the pool with materials that complement your home’s exterior
- Spas – a popular feature add-on, or the centerpiece of its own project (see residential pools & spas)
- Pool safety features – fencing, safety covers, and alarms that protect your family without compromising the design
If you’re still exploring swimming pool water features, our team is happy to walk through what fits your space and budget during a consultation.
