Luxury apartments with deluxe swimming pools, what’s the key criteria you are seeking?

We identified the most important criteria for finding an ideal swimming pool in some of the country’s most outstanding apartment projects in Vietnam.

As living standards in Vietnam have steadily improved in recent years, an apartment has gradually become more than just a simple dwelling place. Nowadays, more Vietnamese people are in a position to purchase a luxury apartment in an exclusive community, where they can enjoy a sophisticated lifestyle.

At premium apartment projects, additional amenities are often a huge part of the attraction. One of the key design features at many luxury apartment blocks is always the swimming pool. With the right design, a stunning swimming pool can really elevate the appearance of a residential area – that is why they are always highly visible in all marketing materials. In many cases, the swimming pool can even be the determining factor for prospective apartment owners searching for their dream home.

Of course, if you have children, your criteria might be different. Children and teenagers are often the most frequent users of swimming pools in a residential area, especially during the hot season, after school and on weekends. A swimming pool specifically designed for children should have a gradually increasing depth from 0.3m to 1.2m and no sharp corners.

Estella Heights, invested by Keppel Land, is one of the few apartment projects in Ho Chi Minh City that has invested in five different sizes of swimming pools to meet all needs of the community’s residents..

Ensuring clean, clear water
 

A premium pool should not only be beautifully designed, but also meet all the latest technical requirements regarding the filtering and treatment of water and feature a system that monitors the pool water temperature.

An international standard water-treatment system must ensure two factors: circulation and automation. A state-of-the-art system with the latest treatment technology will guarantee the cleanliness and sterilisation of water, which will better protect the swimmer’s health. Of course, a premium pool is much more aesthetically appealing when the waters are clean, clear and inviting.

A leading example for this is Anh Vien swimming pool at Gia Hoa - The Art Apartment. Besides creating a vast pool area, the investor also installed the most modern water treatment system. The pool is completely devoid of any chemical cleaning agents to ensure swimmers’ skin, eyes and ears are well-protected.

While the swimming temperature may not sound like that big of an issue, it can greatly affect the resident’s pool experience. Apartment project residents using many outdoor swimming pools often complain about a pool’s cold temperature. This puts residents off swimming as they worry it can increase the risk of illness, especially for children. Therefore, a premium apartment project should be equipped with a quality temperature-monitoring system to maintain a suitable water temperature throughout the seasons, so residents of all ages can swim, even on cold evenings.

It makes sense that swimming pools in apartment blocks are usually located on lower floors for ease of design and maintenance. But premium apartment projects can be more ambitious. They can command prime locations on rivers, or even elevate the outdoor swimming pool experience by placing it on higher floors, so their residents can enjoy higher and wider views of the city.

Another highlight of Riverside Residence’s swimming pool are the soothing curves that give the appearance of a flowing river. This design feature helps give residents a wonderfully relaxing feeling, as if they are amidst nature.

To build a uniquely shaped swimming pool is not necessarily easy. To breakaway from the standard rectangular shape requires cutting-edge skills in construction, installation and operation. So an apartment project that can deliver on its promise to create the ultimate facility is worth your investment.
