Step 1 - Picture your routine

What would you like your backyard to do for you?

A backyard oasis, built for more than swimming

THE PARROT BAY WELLNESS DIFFERENCE

For two decades Parrot Bay Pools has transformed backyards across North Carolina into resort-style oases. Parrot Bay Wellness is the next chapter — pairing our concrete and fiberglass pools with the sauna, cold plunge, and poolside furniture that turn a backyard into a true daily retreat.

One design center, one team, one build. The age of longevity and wellness has arrived at Parrot Bay Pools. Expect more from your backyard.

Start with how you want to spend time outside: swimming, sitting in warm water, using a sauna, or relaxing beside the pool. Bring those priorities to your design conversation so the layout supports your everyday routine.

What this means for you: Plan around the activities you want to enjoy, then choose the features that support them.

Step 2 - Choose your pool

Which pool fits your yard and the way you swim?

SWIM

Concrete pools built for Raleigh's luxury backyards

Parrot Bay Pools installs top-quality concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools for homeowners across Raleigh, Apex, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, and the surrounding Triangle.

Every wellness retreat starts with the right pool — a freeform concrete design, a resort-style tanning ledge, or a compact plunge pool tucked into a smaller lot.

Think about whether you want room to swim, a shallow place to lounge, or a compact pool alongside other backyard features. Discuss these priorities together rather than choosing the pool separately from the rest of the yard.

What this means for you: Your pool choice should leave room for the ways you want to use the surrounding yard.

Step 3 - Compare sauna styles

Which sauna suits your space and household?

HEAT

Saunas that extend every backyard evening

Heat is where recovery begins. A sauna gives your backyard a reason to gather year-round — easing sore muscles, clearing the mind, and setting up the plunge that follows. We help homeowners choose the sauna that fits their space, their household, and their routine.

Talk to Our Design Center About Saunas

  1. Cedar Barrel Sauna

    A rustic, freestanding retreat for the corner of the yard — classic red or white cedar with a wood or electric heater option.

  2. Cabin & Panoramic Sauna

    Full-glass, modern cabin designs that pair naturally with a concrete pool deck — tiered bench seating for family or guests.

  3. Infrared & Compact Models

    Space-conscious, app-controlled units built for smaller lots or covered patios — fast heat-up, low upkeep.

What this means for you: Compare sauna styles by available space, seating needs, and how you plan to use them.

Step 4 - Plan your cold-water space

Do you want a freestanding or in-ground cold plunge?

COLD

Cold plunge, built into the retreat

The cold is where the reset happens. Whether it’s a dedicated plunge tub, a chilled spool, or a compact Parrot Bay Plunge Pool sized for a smaller backyard, we help you build a cold-water routine right alongside your sauna and swim space — no separate trip to a recovery studio required.

Ask About Cold Plunge Options

Plunge Tubs & Chillers

Freestanding cold plunge tubs with app-guided chillers — ready for a deck, patio, or covered porch.

In-Ground Cold Plunge Pools

A compact fiberglass Parrot Bay Plunge Pool, chilled and finished to sit beside your sauna as a built-in cold station.

Ask the design team to compare a freestanding setup with an in-ground option for your property, including placement beside the sauna and access from the house.

What this means for you: Choose the cold plunge location as part of the overall layout, not as an afterthought.

Step 5 - Make room to relax

Where will you unwind in and around the water?

RECOVER

Recover in comfort, poolside

A hot tub isn’t just an upgrade, but also an investment in comfort, wellness, and everyday moments that matter — and the furniture you recover on matters just as much. We pair our pools with Ledge Lounger in-pool furniture and Parrot Bay hot tubs so every part of the retreat, in the water and out of it, is built for relaxing.

Browse Hot Tubs

Muscle & Joint Relief

Helps ease muscle tension, joint pain, and everyday aches after a long day or physical activity.

Improved Circulation & Recovery

Warm water promotes better blood flow and supports faster recovery after exercise or strenuous movement.

Stress Reduction & Better Sleep

Encourages relaxation, lowers stress levels, and can help improve overall sleep quality.

Connection & Relaxation Space

Creates a dedicated place for quiet reflection, quality family time, or casual social gatherings.

Year-Round Enjoyment

Designed for comfort in every season, allowing you to enjoy your hot tub even during cooler months.

Wellness features are not a substitute for medical care. Ask your healthcare professional whether hot tubs, saunas, or cold plunges are appropriate for you, and follow the equipment’s safety instructions.

What this means for you: Include comfortable places to sit and gather alongside the pool and wellness equipment.

Step 6 - Fit the design to your home

How will the retreat fit your North Carolina backyard?

Resort-style backyards, from Raleigh to Fayetteville

Every Parrot Bay Wellness retreat is designed around the home it sits behind — freeform concrete pools with tanning ledges, water features, and deck design tailored to Raleigh’s luxury lots and central NC acreage alike.

Bring photos of your yard and examples of features you like. Discuss how the pool, deck, sauna, seating, and paths between them could work together around your home.

What this means for you: Use inspiration photos to explain your preferences while keeping the design specific to your property.
