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.

Poetry Inn

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. Heated April through November, the pool is a peaceful place to spend a day in Wine Country, whether reading a book on a chaise lounge, catnapping in the poolside hammock, or sipping wine as the sun goes down. We have a feeling you’ll be embracing the slower pace of Napa Valley in no time.
