Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty shares some top tips to elevate your pool party game, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Your property inspiration
The epitome of coastal luxury and hosting the ultimate pool party is present in this exceptional five-bedroom beach house, found in the heart of the prestigious Britannia Bay Golden Mile. Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty property practitioner, Ferdie Heynemann, emphasises the added value a swimming pool brings to a home, stating, "Just like in this stunning home, the pool enhances the overall appeal. Entertainment around the pool is made special with the sound of crashing waves and sightings of dolphins frolicking in the bay, not to mention the amazing sunsets."
According to the current homeowners, the pool is their favourite place for hosting special events.. “The veranda is a fantastic spot because it's always protected from the wind and offers stunning sea views. It's also an ideal place to observe a variety of birds, as well as dolphins and whales during certain seasons,” they shared. They've hosted various celebrations, including baby showers, birthdays from the 21st to the 70th, as well as weddings and anniversary parties.
Make a splash when hosting your pool party
Set the stage for fun
The key to a successful pool party lies in creating an inviting atmosphere for your guests. Start by sprucing up your pool area with colourful decorations, inflatable pool floats, and vibrant beach towels. Consider setting up a designated area for games and entertainment to keep the energy high throughout the party. Pay attention to your pool pavings, ensuring it's well-maintained and safe for everyone to enjoy.
Choose a theme
Take your pool party to the next level by choosing a theme your guests will love. Whether it's a tropical luau, retro beach party, or a Hollywood glamour pool bash, a theme adds an extra layer of excitement and gives your guests a chance to dress up in style. Imagine transforming your backyard into a captivating oasis, with the pool as the centrepiece and a wooden deck seamlessly blending with the theme, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable party.
Stock up on refreshments
No pool party is complete without refreshing beverages and delicious snacks. Set up a poolside bar with a variety of tropical cocktails, mocktails, and chilled beverages. Ensure there are plenty of hydrating options, such as infused water and fruit juices, to keep everyone cool and refreshed. A variety of finger foods and light snacks will make the perfect poolside feast.
Beat the heat with music
Make a playlist that sets the atmosphere and keeps the festive spirit. To create a cheerful setting, mix lively music with legendary summer songs. If you want to enjoy music without worrying about splashes or water damage, think about getting waterproof speakers.
Pick a few games
Keep your guests entertained with some poolside games. Classics like volleyball, Marco Polo, and inflatable float races are always crowd-pleasers. For a touch of friendly competition, organise a poolside water balloon fight or set up a slip 'n slide for added fun, especially for the kids.
To host a successful pool party, start by sending invitations well in advance with all essential details, including the date, time, location, and theme/dress code. Prioritise safety with designated areas for non-swimmers, provide life vests if needed, and have a first aid kit available. Monitor the weather, considering a backup plan or rescheduling if necessary. The best hours for a pool party are on the weekends in the warmer months, from late afternoon to early evening, when the water is at its coolest and most pleasant.
