Calusa Bay Design – Laid Back Luxury

There is something so compelling about a pool and spa that provides is a deeper shade of blue water for its swimmers. It feels almost like being emersed in a mountain lake instead of the YMCA. The pool’s interior is finished in that deeper blue which transforms it into a calm and inviting Zen oasis. This deeper blue finish gives the pool a profound sense of depth and serenity, making it the perfect place to unwind and escape from the stresses of everyday life. This is an aquatic paradise that blends the transportive experience and the tranquility that only a pool of this magnitude can provide and becomes the centerpiece of this backyard retreat which is framed perfectly by a shell stone pool deck. The shell stone, with its natural textures and light tones, not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a cool, slip-resistant surface that is ideal for lounging in the sun. The waterline of the pool is adorned with recycled glass tiles in a rich dark blue. These tiles catch and reflect the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing, shimmering effect. This choice of recycled glass not only adds a luxurious touch, but also speaks to a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly design practices. Adjacent to the main pool, the spa offers an additional layer of relaxation. The spa’s ever so slightly elevated position not only provides a visual contrast, but also creates a gentle waterfall effect as water overflows into the main pool, adding a soothing auditory experience to the setting. The luxurious spa, with its warm, bubbling waters, is an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation, offering therapeutic benefits after a long day. Surrounding this aquatic haven is a meticulously landscaped yard, designed to ensure privacy and a sense of seclusion. Lush greenery, strategically placed plants, and flowering shrubs create an organic horizon, making you feel like you’ve been transported to a private retreat. The landscaping not only enhances the aesthetic appeal, but also contributes to the overall ambiance, offering a refreshing, natural backdrop that complements the serene water features and the captivating lake view beyond.
