The best terrace pools: Novellini answers

Mini pools are one of the most used and trendy solutions to transform outdoor spaces, even those of small size, into real wellness centers. Unlike traditional swimming pools, which require large surfaces and complex installations, mini pools are perfectly suited to terraces, penthouses, balconies and small courtyards. Thanks to their compact design and customization possibilities, they are ideal for these spaces: they can be installed without invasive walls, and equipped with hydromassage systems, chromotherapy and temperature regulation to ensure a wellness experience comparable to that of a professional SPA, all year round. 

Before proceeding with the installation of a mini pool, however, it is essential to evaluate several aspects, such as the characteristics of the environment in which it will be inserted, the structural capacity of the terrace, sun exposure and intended use - whether daily or occasionally, alone or in company. These elements, in fact, can affect the choice of structure and materials, but also the capacity, functionality and design of the pool. 

Let’s see all the useful tips to choose the most suitable model and transform the terrace into a real Home SPA, able to combine functionality, aesthetics and well-being.

Characteristics of outdoor terrace pools

Terrace pools are small and compact in size, specifically designed to fit into small spaces and combine advanced features with minimal footprint. The main characteristics that distinguish an outdoor terrace pool are first of all the construction materials: the indoor pool is usually made of acrylic, a durable material, resistant to thermal shock, easy to clean and pleasant to the touch, while the external coating can vary from composite wood to aluminium, fiberglass solutions or technical panels that guarantee thermal insulation and a modern aesthetic. 

The dimensions may vary, but generally starting from a capacity of two people up to a maximum of six, with small measurements and not excessive depth to reduce static load. The weight is another crucial aspect: depending on the model, a mini pool can weigh between 300 and 450 kg empty and can easily exceed 1000 kg once filled with water, so before installation, it is essential to assess the compatibility with the supporting structure of the terrace.

From the point of view of shape, mini pools can have a square, rectangular or round shape, depending on the available space and aesthetic preferences; the best models have ergonomic lines that improve comfort and user experience, and can be equipped with adjustable jet hydromassage systems, chromotherapy with underwater LED lights, heating systems and maintenance of the water temperature and automatic thermal covers. 

Some terrace pools also offer additional features and accessories, such as Bluetooth audio systems, integrated Wi-Fi, digital control panels and advanced filtration systems that ensure water quality and cleanliness with minimal effort.

Different types of outdoor terrace pools

Outdoor terrace pools are configured to be installed mainly in two modes: above ground or built-in. The choice of installation depends on factors such as the structure of the terrace, the type of use, the desired aesthetic effect and the complexity of the installation. Let’s see the characteristics and advantages of each type and the technical considerations to be considered carefully during the design phase:

Above-ground terrace pools: thanks to their structural characteristics and ease of installation, above-ground swimming pools are among the most popular solutions for terraces and small spaces. These are freestanding tanks that do not require invasive masonry works and can be installed with minimal structural interventions. From a design point of view, they can be customized with elegant composite wood coverings, laminated materials from exteriors with solid color material surfaces, wood effect or covered in elegant exterior fabric, according to the space in which they are to be placed. In addition, they are often equipped with external steps or small access platforms, and are particularly suitable in contexts where the height does not create visual problems or exposure to wind.

Built-in terrace pools: they require more demanding structural work, since they are inserted into the floor of the terrace. This requires adequate static and hydraulic testing, as well as accurate design. From an aesthetic point of view, however, they allow to obtain results with a unique design, creating visual continuity and integrating perfectly with the surrounding environment. The built-in mini-pools can also be equipped with retractable covers, which allow you to cover the pool when it is not in use, thus increasing the safety and functionality of the outdoor space.

Both in the case of installation above ground and recessed the most elegant solution is that of mini infinity pools, more refined and scenographic thanks to the visual effect of the water overflowing at the edge, creating a continuous surface that seems to merge with the surrounding space. This type of mini pool is equipped with an advanced recirculation system and a compensation tank, which collects the leaking water and puts it back into the circuit.

For this reason, when this system is not included the installation becomes more complex. Infinity pools lend themselves perfectly to terraces with panoramic views, where the "infinite" effect of water can dialogue with the surrounding urban or natural landscape, making the experience even more relaxing and exclusive, with a great aesthetic impact.

How to choose the ideal mini pool for your terrace

In order to choose the perfect mini pool for your terrace, it is essential to analyse a series of key factors, which concern not only the design and aesthetic performance, but also aspects related to functionality and comfort.

The first elements to be evaluated are undoubtedly the size and characteristics of the space available. Not all terraces can accommodate the same types of minipools: in the design phase you have to measure with precision the area intended for installation, taking into account not only the footprint of the pool, but also the space needed for access, the maintenance and possible creation of a surrounding relaxation area.

It is also important to think about the usage needs and how many people will actually use the mini pool. If the goal is to create a wellness space for two people, you could opt for a compact model with two ergonomic seats. If you like to receive guests or want to share moments of well-being with your family, you will have to choose a larger pool, perhaps with configurations with more seats and customizable jets.

The type of use should be considered: will you use the mini pool only during the summer, or do you want a wellness experience all year round? In the latter case, thanks to the possibility of installing a mini pool with advanced thermal insulation, independent heating and thermal coverage, it will be possible to maintain constant water temperature even in winter. The addition of extra features is another aspect to consider carefully: chromotherapy, aromatherapy, ozonotherapy, Bluetooth audio, touch controls or smart management via app can further enrich the wellness experience and make it even more personalized and comfortable. 

The aesthetic aspect is also a key factor in the choice: the mini pool should integrate harmoniously into the context of the terrace and the house. Whether you prefer a modern, minimal or elegant style, the design of the pool and its finishes should enhance the surrounding environment. Then choose a model that offers ample possibilities of customization, both for the colors of the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as the materials of the panels and lighting. In this way you can enhance your outdoor space and achieve a truly unique result.
