World-class wine and delectable cuisine aside, there’s much to love about a getaway to Napa Valley — especially during summer and early fall when warm weather and sunshine are aplenty. When you need to cool off between wine tastings, luckily the valley is home to some of the most luxurious hotel pools around. Here are seven Napa Valley hotel pools that we love, whether you’re looking to lounge poolside in a cabana or float in healing thermal waters right outside your room.
When you check into the picturesque Carneros Resort and Spa, you’ll have not one but two pools to lounge beside during your stay. Enjoy panoramic views of farmland and grapevines at the serene adults-only pool, where private cabanas come complete with personalized service and extras like sparkling wine and appetizers. Or, make a day of it at the palm tree-lined pool near the fitness center, a family-friendly outdoor swimming pool fit for an afternoon of fun.

Hidden away within the grapevines of St. Helena, Alila Napa Valley offers guests a quiet pool from which to enjoy some pre- and post-wine tasting R&R. Sip world-class wine in a private cabana or simply lounge the days away poolside at this adults-only retreat. Not staying overnight? Alila Spa guests are also welcome to indulge in a dip after treatments, which is always a nice way to end a blissful spa day.

Soak up the sun from The Meritage Resort’s heated pool, an adults-only pool with a hot tub and seasonal poolside service. Set against a backdrop of the resort’s hillside vineyard and underground spa cave, the pool makes it easy to embrace those vacation vibes year-round. Heading to the spa without a stay? The Meritage sometimes allows pool access for spa guests, based on availability.

Flanked by palm trees and chaise lounges, the sprawling 130-foot pool at Solage epitomizes Wine Country chic.

Nestled in the hills above Napa’s Silverado Trail, Poetry Inn is an intimate oasis offering spectacular views of the Napa Valley — and yes, even the outdoor pool showcases incredible vistas.

We have a feeling you’ll be embracing the slower pace of Napa Valley in no time.
