As amazing as the summertime may be—more daylight! cute sundresses! frozen tequila cocktails!—the reality is you can really only tolerate the hottest days with a nice dip in some icy cold water. I mean, what better way to unwind and bring your body temp down when those little sweat beads start forming, uh, just about everywhere? But getting your splash on might be a challenge if you don't live anywhere near the ocean, a lake, river, or other serviceable (and swimmable, lol) body of water. And if you also aren't #blessed with an in-ground pool (or with a friend who has access to one), finding that refreshing oasis could be nothing more than a summertime pipe dream. That is, until you get your hands on an inflatable pool for all your summer 2023 hangs!

Allow me to introduce you to these very chic, very spacious blow-up pool options that will have you cooled off and ultra chill for the hot summer months ahead. (And if you wanna splurge on an adorbs Barbie pool float while you're at, we won't judge ya!)

Pros

  • The style is shoppable in three colors/patterns
  • Arch shape can be set against a wall or hedge to optimize space

Cons

  • Only fits up to 2 adults

Consider this stylish option if you're looking for something that will complement your space instead of competing with it. The subtle white pebble pattern on this one goes with just about any minimalist aesthetic. And since the pattern is silkscreen-printed on, it's not likely to wear off right away.

Swim Center Family Lounge Pool
Now 15% Off

Pros

  • Inflates pretty quickly
  • Easy to disassemble and store

Cons

  • The bench takes up most of the pool, so it’s better for lounging than swimming

With a comfy bench and cup-holders built into it, this is the pool where you can lounge away your Sunday scaries. Pair this pool with a magazine and a cold glass of vino, and you've got yourself the perfect afternoon.

Glowing Review: "I absolutely love this pool. It is very spacious and was easy to set up. I just wanted a pool to lounge in during the hot summer days and this pool was perfect for that!"

this one that's super chic

Mylle Green Inflatable Pool

Green Inflatable Pool

Pros

  • Comfortably fits two adults
  • Comes in a matching vinyl pouch for storage
  • Made with heavyweight, non-toxic vinyl

Cons

  • It doesn’t come with an inflator, so BYO air pump

When fashion stylist Kris Myllenbeck couldn’t find a blow-up pool cute enough for her rooftop pool parties, she started her own line of understated, adorable inflatable pools for adults. This beautiful sage green pool is summer fun, all grown up. It easily deflates and stores in a pouch for next szn, too.

SaluSpa Portable Inflatable Outdoor Round Hot Tub

Pros

  • Digital control panel lets you set your ideal water temp
  • Power-saving timer saves you money by only heating the water when you know you’re gonna use it
  • Includes ~spa jets~
  • No extra tools needed for set up

Cons

  • Heated water might not be ideal if you live somewhere super hot
  • It can take a few hours to get the tub toasty

No more shivering for you! This inflatable bb reaches up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and even has jets for peak hot tub energy. It fits four adults comfortably, which is the perfect amount for a lil shindig or even a double date.

Glowing Review: "If you can get this, do it! I mean, if you have 10,000 bucks to blow on a regular hot tub, do that too, but if you want room enough for 2-3 people this is all you need. I plan on only using this in the cooler months and in the summer taking it down so I have space in my yard again. Don't let a hot tub take up your whole deck when you can get one of these."

Quick Set Above Ground Inflatable Outdoor Swimming Pool

Pros

  • Roomy enough for swimming
  • Includes electric filter pump and pool ladder

Cons

  • Takes a while to fill up

Three feet deep and three feet across, this pool is deep enough for a proper swim and big enough to fit your friends. It also comes with pretty much everything you need for a super legit pool set up–like an electric filter pump, and a pool ladder (!!).

Glowing Review: "Eeeasy peasey to assemble. Plenty of room for floating, great value for the money, and it passed the durability test."

 Inflatable Lemon Sunning Pool

Pros

  • Can fit 3 adults comfortably
  • Very budget-friendly and affordable

Cons

  • Not as durable as other blow-up pools on this list

An under-$30 pool to match all your limoncello spritzes this summer? Yes, pls. Reviewers say this lil pool can surprisingly fit three adults or 4 kids, and it's super easy to inflate. And if you're not positive about investing in an inflatable pool, this budget-friendly pick is the perfect entry-level blow-up pool.

Glowing Review: "It's super easy to inflate and it fills up really fast, it can fit up to 3 adults or i can easily fit all 4 of my kids with still extra space for them to comfortably play in the pool, the pool is clear with really cute lemons printed on it and the cutest thing is that the top rim is filled with gold sparkles!! The plastic is thick enough that my kids have played a lot in the pool and still no holes have been made so im really hoping it will last a long time because they love it!"

this one with great reviews

Qpau Inflatable Swimming Pool

Best Seller

Pros

  • Made from thicker material than most other inflatable pools
  • Easy to inflate/deflate
  • Made from BPA-free plastic and non-toxic materials

Cons

  • Only 22 inches deep, so you’re not gonna be swimming laps in this thing

One eager reviewer described this gem as "durable, fun, and BIG." Sounds like a no-brainer purchase to me! You can fit a few people in it, but it's less than 2 feet deep so it's really only for a quick cool-off moment.

Glowing Review: "I love this pool! Perfect for my boyfriend and I to use on a hot summer day and put back at night. We are both super tall and we can fit comfortably laying in here. This is perfect for us as we live in the mountains and don’t want the wildlife to tear it up so we just put it away. It was very easy to inflate/deflate and has a great price!"

this one that's easy to set up

Lark Metal Frame Sport Splash Swimming Pool

Metal Frame Sport Splash Swimming Pool

Pros

  • Includes an opening for a pump filter
  • Great if you don’t have a ton of room but still want a legit pool

Cons

  • At 7 feet x 5 feet, it can fit a few adults, but it’s not massive

With this one, you don’t need to wait for it to inflate! Just snap the puncture-resistant, 3-ply sides into place on the metal frame, fill it with water, and you’re good to go.

Glowing Review: "Very happy with this pool so far. My teenage daughter was able to put it together, and have 3 friends over to sit around and visit while staying cool. Only regret, should’ve bought a bigger one now that I know how easy, how sturdy and nice the pool is."

this one that *feels* like an actual pool

Bestway Power Steel Above Ground

Power Steel Above Ground

Pros

  • The steel frame is corrosion-resistant
  • Circulates chlorine around the pool so it’s evenly distributed
  • 4 feet deep and big enough for allll the friends

Cons

  • Needs to be on a level surface, so it’s not ideal if your backyard is hilly

If you're trying to make it seem like you have an actual pool, this big boy is the one. You can trust that it's incredibly sturdy and durable with its steel frame. Plus, it has a ChemConnect dispenser that works with the pool's pump to evenly distribute chlorine.

Glowing Review: "Everything about this pool is so far my favorite... Everything snapped together easy, all pieces were labeled for zero confusion. The pump works great (so far, I’ll update at the end of the summer on how that goes)."

Heart-Shaped Inflatable Pool

Glowing Review: "This is an amazing pool: large enough for 2 adults, deep enough so you feel like you’re in a real pool, PLUS the sides are tall enough to lean against. It’s a great addition to my backyard beach in the city."

Glowing Review: "This Intex 18 foot swimming pool has been the best vacation in my backyard all summer. I purchased other Intex products to upgrade everything that doesn’t come with it to make it perfect, like the larger pump, vacuum and skimmer."
