Cocktail Pools by Rainforest Pools – Compact Luxury for Your Backyardasting Durability
What Is a Cocktail Pool?
A cocktail pool—also known as a compact plunge pool or a “spool” (spa + pool)—is a small, shallow swimming pool designed for relaxation, cooling off, and entertaining. Typically under 12 feet wide and around 5 feet deep, cocktail pools are ideal for urban backyards, courtyards, patios, or tight spaces where a traditional pool may not fit.
These pools combine luxury and convenience, often featuring built-in benches, cocktail ledges, and space-saving footprints.
Why Choose a Fiberglass Cocktail Pool?
Fiberglass cocktail pools offer unbeatable advantages over traditional concrete or vinyl liner installations:
Benefits of Fiberglass Cocktail Pools:
Fast installation: Most installed in just 2–4 weeks
Low maintenance: Non-porous surface resists algae and stains
Energy-efficient: Smaller size = lower heating and chemical costs
Durability: Rainforest Pools uses top-tier American-made materials
Smooth surface: Gentle on feet and swimsuits—no abrasiveness
Modern design: Sleek shapes that complement any backyard aesthetic
How Much Does a Cocktail Pool Cost?
A fiberglass cocktail pool from Rainforest Pools typically costs between $35,000 and $55,000, depending on:
Site conditions and access
Installation location (e.g., Florida, Georgia, South Carolina)
Optional features like heaters, automation, lighting, and water features
Surrounding landscaping and decking
Financing options are available, and cocktail pools often qualify for lower long-term operating costs than full-size pools.
