So sit back, relax and take your pick of where to go, what to do - you’ll be craving a day by the pool in no time.
Pool Day Essentials
Before you get to your pool, you need to ensure you’ve packed all the essentials. To help you out, we’ve put together our top list of what to pack so you’re organized and ready!
Water : First and foremost, make sure you have a good amount of water. You can never carry too much! Remember to stay hydrated with a big bottle by the pool as you don’t want to feel drained.
Shades: If you’re going to be spending your summer getting lots of sun exposure, shades with a larger, rounder lens are better for your eyes - they keep the sun out, protecting your eyes and preventing eye wrinkles from constant squinting.
Games: If you’re heading to the pool with friends, then there’s always the need for a deck of cards. Make sure to buy them in a waterproof covering, or take them in a plastic case, to not ruin them after your first visit.
Book or Magazine: You can never have too many books with you whilst you lounge by the pool. Take a selection of books and magazines so you can pick and choose, depending on your mood. It’s the perfect time to catch up on some reading.
Sun Lotion: We’ve saved the best for last! If there’s one thing you have to take with you on your pool day, then this is an essential. Here at Carisma Spa, we have some of the best sun care products available. Make sure to have some on you without fail, to protect your skin and your health.
Dive into the Best Outdoor Pool
Once you are pool day ready, with all essentials packed, the next thing is to pick the perfect pool. Carisma Spa is located in some of the island’s finest hotels, boasting some of the best pools in Malta. So take your pick from some of our favorite hotspots.
Experience a pool day of luxury here at the Intercontinental St. Julian’s where you can have the pick of three perfect pool spots.
At Intercontinental St. Julian’s, you will also have the Mediterranean sea at your feet in their beach club and lagoon outdoor pool. Or for those looking to be out of the sun, the inside pool is a pretty good alternative.
For pool days with a view, head on up to its SKYBEACH infinity pool where you can enjoy one of the most luxurious pools. With panoramic views of Malta, this is an ideal spot for a picturesque pool day and a place to go from day to night.
If you prefer not to have lots of children running around you whilst you’re relaxing in the sun on your day by the pool, then Seashell’s Resort in Malta is an ideal spot.
Here you will find the adults-only Luzzu Lido pool; a great place for a romantic pool day or for those looking for some quiet time - without children splashing around.
To feel even more chilled, pop into the seawater outdoor pool, which will let you slip into relaxation mode right away.
Soak up the sun and spend your pool day at Qawra Palace Hotel, next to its magnificent saltwater pool, with a water cascade that looks down over Qawra Bay.
An ideal location, the pool sun deck even has sunbeds and parasols provided; for when things get too hot.
If you also like to enjoy a pool day that’s not too far from the deep blue water of the sea, then this is your location. The rocky beach just beneath drops straight into the ocean.
Here at Ramla Bay Resort, there are too many pools to keep track of, making it one of our preferred pool locations.
Offering three outdoor seawater pools, a private sandy beach, and two freshwater indoor pools (that are heated in winter), you have ample choice for your day by the pool.
To top it all off, the open views of the Mediterranean Sea are outstanding, whilst the hotel offers an incredible range of on-site services, offering pool day perfection all-round.
Spa Day
If the weather is not quite right or you would like to take your relaxation to another level, then why not turn your day by the pool into a spa day?
Carisma Spa is located within waterfront properties, with stunning outdoor pools; but that is only the beginning of your relaxing day! Inside our spas, you can enjoy a relaxing break all year-round; with heated indoor pools and luxurious facilities.
There are numerous offerings to help you soothe and unwind. Including our Traditional Turkish Hammam, as well as our salt and regular saunas, steams room, and finally - for those who are brave enough! - ice fountains and showers.
So if your day by the pool needs cranking up a level, then head inside and turn it into a spa day by the pool.
Turn Your Day into Night
As the sun sets, this does not mean your pool day has to end! Keep the party going strong with some of Malta’s best pool bars and of course, cocktails. Follow your day up with a delicious dinner in one of the hotel's stunning restaurants.
If you’re looking to make your pool day in Malta even more extravagant, then book yourself in for an overnight stay in one of these luxury hotels and wake up in the morning to experience it all over again.
