What shapes pool work in Jumeirah Islands
Waterside settings
Villas facing the lakes suit designs that relate the pool to the water view, including edges and lighting.
Groundwater awareness
Near water bodies, draining a pool for renovation is planned with groundwater pressure in mind.
Large pools as centrepieces
Pools are often the focus of the garden, so finishes, coping and lighting carry much of the design.
—Setting
Waterside pools beside seawater lakes
Nakheel’s Jumeirah Islands, finished in the mid-2000s, sets clusters of villas on islands surrounded by seawater lakes. Pools are often the centrepiece of a waterside garden, so finishes, coping, lighting and the way the pool relates to the lake view carry much of the design.
Being surrounded by water has practical consequences. Draining a pool for renovation is planned with groundwater pressure in mind, and the humid, salty air near the lakes is hard on plant and metal fittings.
Before asking for designs or quotes
- Will the pool need draining, and has groundwater been considered?
- How exposed is the plant to humid, salty air?
- Is the lighting and coping part of the design brief, or a like-for-like replacement?
- Should the pool’s edge or position relate to the lake view?

—Questions
Pool questions for Jumeirah Islands
- Is it safe to drain a pool next to a lake?
- It needs planning. High groundwater can push on an empty shell, so the water level around the pool and the time it stays empty are considered before draining.
- What lighting suits a waterside pool?
- Lighting that works with the view rather than against it — often softer underwater lighting and careful lighting of the coping and deck — chosen with the whole garden in mind.
- Which coping materials suit a waterside setting?
- Materials that stay comfortable underfoot in sun, resist salt and moisture, and are properly sealed where natural stone is used.
