How To Find An Airbnb With A Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Jacuzzi Or Spa [Step-By-Step]


How To Find An Airbnb With A Pool, Hot Tub, Jacuzzi Or Spa

Swimming pools and hot tubs are popular on Airbnb.

The Airbnb website/app makes it very easy to find properties that provide pool access, whether its for private or public use, and regardless of your budget.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to find and book an Airbnb with a pool.

After demonstrating the process, I’ll explain how to search for listings with a specific pool type (private, indoor, heated, underground and infinity pools), and how to find an Airbnb with a hot tub, jacuzzi or spa, or similar features - like a sauna or outdoor shower.

How To Find An Airbnb With:

  • Private Pool

  • Indoor Pool

  • Heated Pool

  • Underground Pool

  • Infinity/Endless Pool

Unfortunately, Airbnb doesn’t categorize by pool type.

This means that, to find an Airbnb that has a specific type of pool (private, indoor, heated, underground, infinity), you’ll need to browse listings individually. If a listing claims to have a pool, it should be displayed in the listing photos. You can also try to find specific pool types by searching “Airbnb with (type of pool) in (destination)” on Google.

Some property types are more likely to offer a private pool (vacation homes, villas, etc.). Usually, the more “private” the property is, the more likely its pool will also be private (think of renting a private house versus renting an apartment). Of the properties that do have a private pool, an outdoor pool will be the norm.

To know what rules (if any) a property has regarding its pool, read the full listing description and click on “Get details” under the listing’s '“house rules” section. Previous guest reviews will sometimes provide a feel for the pool’s condition and cleanliness.

How To Find An Airbnb With A Hot Tub, Jacuzzi Or Spa

The terms “hot tub”, “jacuzzi” and “spa” are often used interchangeably. On Airbnb, all three of these are categorized as “hot tub”. For reference, here are the definitions of each:

  • Spas date back millennia (in Europe and Asia) as a form of “water therapy”. They were usually built at the site of natural mineral water sources, and believed to provide nourishment/healing benefits to those who soaked in them.

  • Hot tub is a modern term (popularized in the 1970s) used to describe hot water tubs, usually made of wood (many styles have now emerged), considered therapeutic and include water jets.

  • “Jacuzzi” is a company that makes hot tubs (and similar products). Due to the brand’s success, its name and product are synonymous (like Google and Kleenex) in many parts of the world.

From here, click “Filters” in the upper-right corner of the search results page.

In the “Filters” pop-up, scroll down to the “Features” section and select “Hot tub”.

Now, your search results will only display properties that provide access to a hot tub, spa and/or jacuzzi.

To find an Airbnb with a specific type of hot tub (outdoor, indoor, private, public), browse the listings. If a listing claims to have a hot tub, jacuzzi or spa, it should also be displayed in the listing’s photos. You can also try searching “Airbnb with (type of hot tub/jacuzzi/spa) in (destination)” on Google.

How To Find Similar Features (Sauna, Outdoor Shower, etc.)

As of 2023, Airbnb does not provide a search filter for saunas or outdoor showers/baths, or any specific type of bath or tub (roll top bath, whirlpool tub, clawfoot tub, etc.). To find an Airbnb with these (or similar) features, your best bet is to search “Airbnb with (type of sauna/shower/tub) in (destination)” on Google.
