15 Best Hotel Swim-up Rooms in the World

Swim-up rooms are perfect for romantic getaways or honeymoons, because they give you private access to the pool at all times of day. Imagine a moonlit swim as warm tropical breezes blow under a vast Caribbean sky, or going from your room to the bar for a refreshing drink without ever leaving the water. Swim-up rooms, also called swim-out rooms, deliver that extra dose of fun and romance.

If you’re not familiar with swim-up rooms, they are generally rooms that open out onto a patio with direct access to a pool—often a long river or lagoon pool. They may have private garden views, or look out over the beach and ocean. Either way, they give you the ability to go swimming without leaving your room at any time of the day or night.
