In our opinion, there’s no greater pleasure than sitting by a beautiful pool with a novel and a drink in hand. With summer quickly approaching, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite hotel pools in the Napa Valley.

Las Alcobas Napa Valley in St. Helena was just given five stars on Fodor’s Travel list of top hotel pools in Napa Sonoma. Its adults-only pool offers unobstructed views of Spring Mountain and Beringer Winery’s Home Vineyard, not to mention great sunsets. The pool features luxury lounges, a full bar with snacks and signature cocktails, and a large firepit surrounded by soft seating.

The Meritage Resort and Spa has an enormous adults-only pool that’s located in the shadow of the iconic Grape Crusher statue, with scenic views of hillside vineyards and the resort’s Estate Cave. A full menu and cocktails are served poolside as you relax in your chaise or cabana.

Auberge du Soleil has the “La Plage” pool, a perfect locale for soaking up some sun with expansive views of the valley floor to the south. Find one of the gauzy canopied lounges and order a cool signature cocktail, glass of wine, or local hand-crafted brew. Shaded terraces offer a respite from the sun and a great spot to enjoy delicious poolside dining.

Carneros Resort and Spa is surrounded by 28 acres and panoramic views of surrounding vineyards. Guests can relax with a cocktail at the adults-only Hilltop Pool, complete with an infinity-edge hot tub, turquoise pool, and cozy cabanas.

Harvest Inn has two secluded pool areas, each with swimming pool, hot tub, and comfy poolside lounges. The spacious main pool area is located in the center of the property’s lush surrounding gardens. And the second, more intimate pool is reserved exclusively for adults.

Napa Valley Lodge features a large pool within its central, lushly landscaped courtyard. Market umbrellas and double sun loungers invite guests to linger all afternoon. The hotel offers seasonal poolside service, courtyard fire pits, and pool-side spa treatments, as well as a top-notch fitness room.

Archer Hotel Napa offers an expansive 11,000-square-foot destination rooftop, including its new Sky Terrace with water deck on the top fifth floor. Enjoy 360-degree views of downtown Napa and the valley beyond while relaxing in chaise lounges around the shallow water deck. This six-inch-deep pool is refreshing enough to cool off, while shallow enough to enjoy a cocktail set on the chaise side tables. Five private deck-side cabanas can be reserved by the day and feature stone fireplaces and privacy curtains. The cabanas, overlooking First Street, offer menus from chef Charlie Palmer’s Sky & Vine, and guests can also enjoy the indoor-outdoor fitness studio and spa.

The Estate Yountville is a new luxury development that includes both Vintage House and Hotel Villagio. Guests of both venues can unwind in one of the luxurious private cabanas at the property’s newly redesigned, 40-foot heated outdoor pool. The elegant pool deck also features chaises and a new pool menu, which you can enjoy while taking in the stunning vistas of the Mayacama Mountains in the distance.

Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa features a hip, vintage vibe. Its outdoor pool area includes a deck of blue-and-white striped umbrellas, pool loungers, and cabana beds shaded under a greenery-covered trellis. Three mineral pools, kept at three different temperatures, are fed from the geothermal hot springs below the property grounds where the water sits at 180°F. There’s also an outdoor fire pit, bocce court, board games, and hammocks to keep you as busy or relaxed as you like.

Rancho Caymus Inn is a Spanish-styled, intimately scaled hotel in Rutherford that wraps around a lovely plunge pool and spa. Enjoy poolside service with a bite to eat and your favorite glass of wine.

Its 75-foot-long rooftop pool is available to hotel guests as well as day-pass guests of The Spa at Bardessono.
