17 Hotels with Private Pools in Spain

Spain is a favourite amongst Europeans, Brits and Americans. Sunshine, white sand beaches, ancient towns, vineyards and olivegroves facing the pearly blue sea, accompanied by excellent hotels, boutiques and guesthouses. And some of these properties have rooms with private pools - from renovated 16th century hillside manors to pampering city-stays. We've scoured the country from the Balearics to the Canaries (and everything inbetween) and discovered some gorgeous treats. Browse our collection of the best hotels in Spain with a private pool, and start planning your spoiling stay!

For an historic stay

• Set on a hillside in Deia, Mallorca, the bulk of La Residencia is set in a 16th century manor. This is a hotel of elegant, classical proportions, in keeping with tradition, while still smart and contemporary. The acclaimed restaurant, El Olivo, sits among the relics of the original olive mill, while the suites and villas - many of which boast private pools - are furnished with wooden beams, antiques, plush four-posters and whitewashed walls adorned with modern art.
• An elegant former military fortress facing the sea (also on Mallorca), Cap Rocat embodies romance. The sophisticated and intimate suites with exposed stone walls, faded artworks and antiques, are perfect for couples on a getaway, each coming with its own garden or private terrace; some suites come with a private swimming pool. To top it all off, there's a seafront restaurant, ramparts to walk on a balmy, moonlit night, a superb spa and an infinity pool.

For a Spa Break

• Considered by many to be one of the most elegant and luxurious hotels in Tenerife, Royal Gardens Villas and Spa is perfect for couples looking for a relaxing getaway. Offering lavishly decorated chic villas with flourishes of Balinese furnishing, each villa comes with its own private pool or plunge pool. The views from the windows are extraordinary - the rising mountains tall and hazed in blue on the horizon - the gardens spotted with palm trees, the temple-like spa waiting to help you unwind.

For a Romantic getaway on Mallorca

• Gran Hotel Son Net is set in a 17th century finca in the foothills of Mallorca's Tramuntara Mountains, boasting vaulted ceilings, plush four-posters and marble bathrooms. Some of the rooms come with a private hot tub, and some have direct access to the 30m pool, and private cabanas. Plus if you insist on your own pool, there's the Garden Cottage Suite. Dining in the treehouse is a speciality, sipping on wine from the hotel's own vineyard, or appreciating the private collection of David Hockney and Marc Chagall paintings. One of the best hotels with a private pool in Spain.
• Perched on a rugged stretch of clifftops, Can Simoneta is a lovely romantic escape-pad. Approached down a lane lined with olive trees, it's like a renovated Roman villa occupying sprawling green grounds, a haven of refined luxury and Epicurean delights. The decor is light, airy and minimalist; the suites have private hot tubs, and the Grand Suite has its own garden and swimming pool. At this intimate, adult-only getaway, you can enjoy volleyball, kiting, boat trips and romantic walks through the woodland.

For families

• Expect no less than princely luxury at Marbella Club; after all, it was founded by Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe. A gorgeous, airy seafront boutique resort, offering spacious, light-filled villas with private pools, and rooms with flourishes of rustic aesthetic, this quintessential Marbella resort has everything a family could want: horse riding, tennis courts, a Kids Club, spa, five restaurants, and of course, the long, stretch of white sandy beach.
• Bahia del Duque is like a magical fairytale town cut off from the rest of Tenerife, making it great for families. A stylish 5-star with its own private beach, it offers deluxe boutique villas set within 8 hectares of subtropical gardens, each with its own swimming pool. The light-filled rooms are graceful, contemporary affairs, and whether its watersports, sunbathing, live music or dining in one of the 8 restaurants, you'll fall in love with this gorgeous hotel.
• A subtropical paradise in a 7 hectare estate, Hotel Hacienda Na Xamena sits in near-mythical surroundings. This 5-star boutique, located inside a nature reserve, offers light-filled, whitewashed, minimalist rooms; nearly all come with a jacuzzi, and the best come with a private mini-pool. La Posidonia Spa offers thalassotherapy, and families will enjoy the spacious suites and games rooms.

Adults-only fun

• Smart, chic rooms, a lagoon-style infinity pool facing the Atlantic Sea, Red Level Gran Melia Palacio de Isora on Tenerife is great for partygoers. This adults-only resort has nightclubs, countless bars and restaurants, a deluxe spa and quick access to a beautiful white sand beach. But the oceanfront villas are the real draw: they have 24h butler service and private swimming pools.
• Sa Pedrissa is an adults-only boutique set in a 17th century manor house on a rugged coastline facing the sea on Mallorca. An intimate and romantic affair, the Grand Suites boast private pools, while most of the rooms and suites have private terraces or patios. The interiors are in keeping with its historic roots with handmade tiles and antiques and furnished in a stately style.
• A delectable 5-star boutique, Font Santa lies a short walk from Mallorca's finest beach. Perfect for couples seeking a tranquil seaside getaway, it boasts a thermal spa fed from the only natural thermal waters in the Balearics. The chic, white rooms are contemporary and minimalist in design, and many of the archaic farmhouse flourishes remain - exposed stone walls and beams. For the upmost luxury, book the Luxury Villa and enjoy your own private pool.

For golfers

• Marbella's Villa Padierna Palace is the one to book, if you want to hone your skills on the course. As well as its three golf courses you can expect executive suites, with private terraces and hot tubs; also plush and spacious villas, boasting lovely private swimming pools. The rooms themselves are flooded with light, and contemporary in style, and the restaurant is a classical affair, hanging with ancient tapestries.

For modern luxury

• Baobab Suites really offers the most cutting-edge, modern luxury, situated on the outskirts of Costa Adeje on Tenerife. Whether you've booked a seafront suite or private villa with its own swimming pool, you can expect contemporary creature comforts. The rooms are whitewashed and painted in chic colour schemes, with plenty of glass and high, wide windows letting in plentiful light. Canarian cuisine is served up in the restaurant, plus there are manicures, massages and yoga on offer.

For a Country escape

Castell Son Claret

• Effortlessly blending the historic features of a 14th century castle with all the contemporary comforts you could wish for, Mallorca's Castell Son Claret never fails to impress. 5-star boutique luxury at its best, it's the ultimate serene escape. Set in a 325 acre estate, this small and intimate hotel offers oak-furnished rooms boasting their own gardens and terraces. Book one of the 2 pool suites for your own swimming pool! The spoiling spa is heavenly (boasting a Moorish hammam and massages), and the restaurant is Michelin-starred. Divine. Hands-down, one of the finest Spanish hotels with a private pool.
• Son Penya Petit Hotel is a radically reconstructed farmhouse set in a garden of shade-giving trees. The gourmet restaurant, in its outdoor setting, is a delight; the light and airy rooms, complete with plush bedding, are a real treat; the pampering spa, set within exposed stone walls, will leave you fresh and bright like morning dew. The Deluxe Villas are something else entirely, coming with their own private pool. Located just inland on Mallorca's east coast.
• An 18th century Catalan farmhouse, Mas de Torrent makes for a delightful country escape. The 39 suites come in all shapes and sizes - some plush and contemporary, others more rustic, old-fashioned affairs with antiques and old artworks, and a few come with a private pool. The grand rooftop terrace bar is mesmerising, and the spa, tennis courts, Kids Club and bikes-for-hire make it a delightful place for families.

For a city stay

• Hidden in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, Hotel DO Placa Reial is an elegant boutique with a lot on offer: the classy, contemporary rooms have four-posters and antiques, with gentle splashes of chic furnishing; the El Terrat Suite is a charming rarity, with its own rooftop pool and terrace. There are two restaurants, a chic rooftop terrace and a pampering spa. This is a great city pad for sightseeing, and surprisingly value-chic for the standards of Barcelona! A spoiling hotel in Spain with a private pool.
