Close your eyes and imagine the most luxurious holiday that money can buy. We see stunning hotels in amazing destinations across the world but they all have one major factor in common – private pools!
Swim up pools are amazing, but forget about the ones you share with others that come bobbing past your room occasionally, these ones you have allllll to yourself. Yup, your own slice of watery heaven, that’ll give you a taste of what the high life is really like. Now we’re talking! Check out these gorgeous spots, we know you want to…
Stella Island Luxury Resort and Spa

Among the many beautiful room choices at Stella Island Luxury Resort and Spa, our favourite has to be the one bedroom villas. That’s because these gorgeous spots boast their own private pools. The hotel has aptly dubbed these as ‘island villas’ and you truly feel like you’ve been whisked away to your own luxury island when you walk inside.
The room boasts so many amenities, many you’d expect, many are a true luxury. You can enjoy all of the must haves including individual controlled air con, a flat screen TV, hair dryer and bathroom amenities.
