Rock Pool Caves

---

A "rock pool cave," often referred to as a grotto in the context of swimming pools, is a cave-like feature within a pool, typically with a waterfall cascading into it. These caves are usually constructed of rock (real or faux) and can be designed to include features like seating areas, lighting, or even a therapy spa. They offer a unique space for relaxation and can be incorporated into various pool designs.

Here's a more detailed look at what a rock pool cave entails:

• Structure:Grottos are essentially concrete rooms attached to the pool, with walls and ceilings made of gunite or shot-crete. 
• Features:They can include benches, loveseats, fiber-optic lighting, sound systems, and even hydrotherapy jets. 
• Design:Grottos can be designed with a range of sizes, styles, and configurations, allowing for personalization and customization. 
• Purpose:They offer a secluded and unique space for relaxation, swimming, and enjoying the waterfall. 
• Materials:While real rock can be used, faux rock formations are also popular due to their ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and ability to replicate the look of real rocks.
