Pools Designed for Byron Bay Living
Homes throughout Byron Bay and the surrounding hinterland are closely connected to the outdoors. A well-designed swimming pool should enhance that relationship.
As experienced Byron Bay pool builders, we design each project around the property itself. That might mean positioning an infinity edge towards a hinterland view, creating a lap pool beside a contemporary rural home or integrating a spa into an outdoor entertaining area.
Because we build custom concrete pools, there's freedom to consider shape, depth, edges, steps, seating and features as part of the wider pool design. The result is a swimming pool designed to suit the home, the landscape and the way you want to use it.
Custom Concrete Pools Without the Template
Living Pools & Spas specialises in custom concrete pool construction for homeowners looking for greater design flexibility. Unlike standard fibreglass pools, a concrete pool can be designed specifically for the available space and architectural style of the property.
Our swimming pool builders can create infinity pools, lap pools, plunge pools, integrated spas, custom seating, water features and fully tiled interiors. Detailed 3D pool design also allows you to see how the layout, materials, finishes and landscaping will work together before construction begins.
Experience With Complex Sites
Some of the most impressive properties in Byron Bay are also the most challenging places to build. Sloping blocks, acreage, difficult access and established landscaping can all influence the pool design and construction process.
This is where pool experience matters.
As a specialist pool builder in Byron Bay, Living Pools & Spas considers these conditions from the beginning rather than trying to adapt a standard design later. Concrete construction provides greater flexibility for unusual shapes, levels and site conditions, allowing us to develop practical solutions that work with the land.

A More Natural Way to Swim
Living Pools & Spas also creates biological and natural swimming pools for homeowners looking for alternatives to conventional chlorine systems. Options can include chlorine-free biological systems, ozone and magnesium systems, as well as efficient filtration, heating and automation.
The right system depends on your property, lifestyle and preferences around maintenance and water chemistry, so these decisions are considered as part of the pool design process.
Already Have a Pool?
An existing swimming pool can often be transformed without starting again.
Living Pools & Spas renovates concrete pools throughout Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers, updating interiors, tiling, coping, surrounds and pool equipment.
A renovation can also be an opportunity to rethink how the pool connects with the backyard and landscaping, creating a more modern and cohesive outdoor space.
