Fire and Water Features, Dramatic Elements for Your Retreat
Fire and water, opposites that attract, and together, they transform pools into unforgettable experiences.
At Smarterpools, we believe pools should be more than beautiful places to swim. They should be immersive environments that capture attention, create atmosphere, and inspire unforgettable memories. That’s why we specialise in integrating fire and water elements into our designs, bringing drama, warmth, and enchantment to every poolside setting.

Fire and Water Features, Transforming Your Retreat into a Dramatic Oasis
Fire Bowls with Timeless Glow
Modern fire bowls rimmed along a pool create an atmosphere of luxury and intimacy. They cast a golden reflection across the water, bringing both warmth and visual drama to your evenings. Controlled via app or voice command, fire bowls add the perfect finishing touch for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet nights at home.
Poolside Torches with Elevated Ambiance
Torches positioned along a poolside terrace or framing an infinity edge provide a striking presence after dusk. Their dancing flames bring energy and character to the design, turning your pool into an unforgettable focal point.
Waterfalls and Cascades for Serenity and Flow
Gentle waterfalls or cascading features add sound and motion to your pool, creating a soothing environment for relaxation. Paired with fire accents, they deliver contrast and harmony in equal measure, balancing bold drama with calming elegance.
Swim-Up Bars with Fire Accents
For a true resort-style retreat, Smarterpools designs swim-up bars framed with fire and water elements. Whether entertaining family and friends or hosting large gatherings, these features combine function with flair, ensuring the ultimate social experience.
Smart Technology, Simplifying Atmosphere
Managing dramatic features is effortless with Smarterpools’ intelligent controls. Fire and water elements can be synchronised, adjusted, and programmed from a smartphone app or through voice command with Alexa or Apple HomeKit. Safety remains paramount, with automated shut-off systems and non-flammable surrounds integrated into every design. This ensures the experience is as practical as it is impressive.
Design Balance, The Art of Contrast
Pairing fire and water is about balance. Smarterpools carefully considers placement, scale, and proportion to create harmony in each project.
-
Pair soft cascades with bold fire bowls for dramatic contrast
-
Frame infinity pools with torches aligned to the waterline
-
Introduce fire pits alongside fountains to encourage conversation and connection
This attention to balance ensures that the design feels deliberate, cohesive, and timeless.
International Experience, Fire Features for World-Class Resorts
Smarterpools’ expertise extends beyond private residences. Our team has delivered large-scale fire feature installations for five-star international resorts, including Polynesian-themed destinations within global hotel chains such as Marriott. These projects demanded not only design precision, but also advanced engineering in commercial fire systems, gas distribution networks, and pyrotechnic installations.
The result is dramatic, reliable, and safe fire integration on a scale that captivates hundreds of guests nightly. From theatrical torch-lined lagoons to grand fire bowl displays woven into resort entrances, our work demonstrates how fire and water elements can redefine guest experience in the world’s most exclusive destinations.
Why Invest in Fire and Water Features?
Fire and water features are more than embellishments, they are transformative elements that turn a pool into a destination. They create intimacy, drama, and lasting impressions, while extending the usability of your pool throughout the evening and across seasons. With Smarterpools’ craftsmanship and technology, these features blend safety, performance, and breathtaking design.
