Having a small house with a swimming pool can provide a relaxing resort-style feel at home. Here are 20 ideas to design a small home with a pool in a resort-style:

1. Use light, natural materials like wood, rattan, and bamboo for decking and poolside furniture to create a breezy, vacation atmosphere.
2. Incorporate tropical plants like palms, hibiscus, and bird-of-paradise around the pool area. Strategically place trees and shrubs to provide shade and privacy.

1. Install an outdoor kitchen and dining area next to the pool for poolside meals and entertainment. An outdoor fridge, grill, and bar area work well.
2. Choose comfortable, weather-resistant patio furniture with pops of bright, fun colors to evoke a resort mood. Sturdy teak wood or aluminum sets work well.
3. Use blue, aqua, and green mosaic tiles for pool surface accents to reflect the water and enhance the resort ambience.

1. Place hammocks, swinging chairs, or daybeds around the pool for relaxation. Provide side tables for drinks and books.
2. Surround the pool with potted palms in large containers for an instant tropical feel. Opt for low-maintenance varieties.
3. Set up a cabana room or guesthouse next to the pool for changing, lounging or overnights with family and friends.
4. Install water features like small fountains, waterfalls, or spillways for pleasant sights and sounds.
5. Illuminate the pool and yard with string lights and torches for dramatic, resort-like ambiance at night.
