The depths of luxury

Ask most people for their definition of their ideal property and there’s a very good chance that the description will include a swimming pool. Given the vast amounts of money wasted every year on gym membership that is never adequately utilised, a swimming pool can be seen as something more than a sybaritic indulgence.

Swimming is one of the best, most complete forms of exercise and is an especially appropriate introduction for the physically challenged, for whom the idea of vigorous exercise is about as appealing as being set upon by a hive of bees! There are few things more inviting on a hot summer’s day than fierce sunlight reflecting on a rippling pool.

The artist, David Hockney, was so captivated by that very scene when he moved to California in the 1960s that it became a regular theme in his work, as he sought to capture the way the sunlight moved on the water.

Spain is one of the best places in the world to include a swimming pool in your list of requirements, since the weather is warm and sunny throughout most of the year. Also, more homes include pools as standard, so what might seem an impossible dream in northern Europe can very easily become a possibility.

Want to enjoy the beneficial effects of a swim even when the colder winter months arrive? Well, Rimontgó even offers properties that feature indoor or covered pools, so you can continue to exercise even on the odd days when it’s too cold to swim outside.
