It seems like a given that a multi-million dollar home owned by a celebrity comes with a fully-equipped pool – but that doesn’t make their majestic designs any less impressive. These enviable swimming pools of Hollywood A-listers include waterfalls, mountain-view stunners and mirror-like infinity pools. So go ahead and dip your toes in the pools of the rich and famous – and maybe steal a design idea or two.
Ellen Degeneres
The queen of daytime TV recently purchased this posh Beverly Hills mansion from singer Adam Levine – and while the interior is certainly stunning, it’s the oval-shaped pool we’re completely obsessed with, from the stairs leading down to the patio to the natural shade provided by an abundance of trees.
Frank Sinatra
Ol’ Blue Eyes himself once plunged into this pristine pool in Palm Springs’ Movie Colony neighbourhood. The home has since been purchased for a cool $4.3 million by Vancouver billionaire Jimmy Pattison and, believe it or not, it’s one of the few celebrity homes you can rent right now.
Kris Jenner
It’s fitting that the perfectly coiffed “momager” matriarch of reality TV’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians landed this stunning 11,000-square-foot property in the heart of California’s Coachella Valley. Although the modern mansion boasts seven stunning bedrooms, it’s the glorious mirror-like infinity pool that has us aching to dip our toes in. Take the full tour of the $12 million lavish getaway.
Bruce Willis
It’s hard to believe that, after 11 years of extensive renovations and landscaping, Bruce Willis sold his romantic Hailey, Idaho getaway near the Sun Valley ski resort. We have no doubt that the heated pool with its cascading waterfall and man-made rock formation were major selling points. It’s luxury at its finest!
Leonardo DiCaprio
Originally built in 1964 for singer-actress Dinah Shore, this 7,100-square-foot estate was designed by celebrated architect Donald Wexler and is currently owned by box office “king of the world” Leonardo DiCaprio. While the sunken living room, breakfast bar and formal dining room are certainly impressive, we love the pristine backyard space with its rectangular pool and surrounding mountain range.
Justin Bieber
The Canadian singer recently purchased this stunning new $8.5 million Beverly Hills mansion with his bride, supermodel Hailey Baldwin-Bieber. The zero-edge infinity pool is a stunning backyard addition that compliments the patio space, gas fireplace and oversized TV.
Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy’s bungalow getaway features a modest swimming pool with a raised platform naturally shaded by plentiful trees. The comedy queen can also be your landlord for $10K a month, if you’re looking for a temporary home on Toluca Lake.
Vanderpump Rules Stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix of the Slice reality series Vanderpump Rules purchased this gorgeous $2.2-million California home – which includes an expansive patio for social hangouts and a luxurious sun deck. As for the rectangular swimming pool? We love the little waterfall.
Taylor Swift
The pop singer’s surprisingly modest swimming pool – in its original 1934 design – is our idea of #backyardgoals. With its ample patio space and thick trees for privacy, it’s the ultimate secret getaway. Take a peek inside the historic Beverly Hills home Taylor Swift owns.
Vancouver’s Celebrity Hangout
When it comes to historic West Coast celebrity hangouts, this expansive $16.8 million estate in Vancouver’s chic Shaughnessy neighbourhood is the place to be. Over the years, this seven-bedroom mansion has hosted plenty of famous faces, from Katharine Hepburn to Mel Gibson – and the oversized swimming pool is the star feature of the sprawling backyard, which also includes a glass greenhouse.
