Room with a pool! Booking.com Shares Five Dreamy Stays With Private Indoor Pools in the Room

There’s nothing like walking out of your bed and stepping straight into the pool anytime of the year or day. And now that the days are getting shorter and temperatures are dipping, an indoor pool would be the perfect solution. According to a Booking.com research, 48%* of UK travellers agree that they’d be more inclined to stay in accommodation with wellness facilities like a swimming pool now than before the pandemic. And even though we can slowly start experiencing the world again, we still need to be cautious and keep our distance. So what better than staying at a dreamy stay that has its own private indoor pool in the room? With a mission to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, Booking.com delved into its more than 28 million reported listings in over 153,000 destinations across the globe to present five stunning stays where travellers can start their day with a dip in their own unique private pool for when it’s safe and responsible to travel.
