Pool & Spa

Every water feature, precisely explained

Casa Nakhla has one heated pool (about 84°F, every day) with a full-size waterslide, plus three separate soaking spots that are easy to mix up: a round spillway spa beside the pool, a terrace hot tub with ocean views, and a private jacuzzi tub in the downstairs suite. There's also an outdoor rain shower and a kiddie splash zone for younger guests. No lifeguard is on duty — it's a private pool, supervised the way you'd supervise it at home.

The heated pool and waterslide

The pool runs heated to roughly 84°F every day, for every guest — it's always on, nothing to request. The full-size waterslide needs two pool valves plus a red valve at the base of the slide opened to flow; if water won't start, the hosts can raise the pool pump remotely. Slide rules: 120 lbs limit, one person at a time, adult supervision, no diving anywhere on the property.

Three soaking spots — kept straight

Spillway spa

The round feature beside the pool. No jets, no bubbles, not heated by default — but free to heat as a hot tub for a 2-hour window each day on stays of 7+ nights. The waterslide must stay off while it's heating.

Terrace hot tub

A separate hot tub up on the terrace with ocean views. Full-stay access runs through the Chill Package ($150/stay), or the Combo ($250) and Ultimate Outdoor ($500) packages that bundle it in.

Downstairs jacuzzi

A private in-room jacuzzi tub attached to the downstairs queen suite. Filled by hand by the hosts on request — never used while the house is running on its water reserve.

These three get confused constantly, so worth saying plainly: the spillway is a water feature, not a jacuzzi, and it isn't heated unless requested on a 7+ night stay. The terrace hot tub is a different physical tub, gated to the paid packages above. The downstairs jacuzzi is a third, separate tub, private to that one suite, filled manually rather than always running.

The kiddie splash zone

An inflatable mega waterpark goes up on the lawn as part of the Kids' Package ($200/stay) — set up for three full days of your choosing, either the first three or last three days of the trip. It's built for ages 5–10, up to 5 kids at a time, 100 lbs per child, with adult supervision required.

Rinse off outside

An outdoor rain shower sits right by the pool, so sand, sunscreen and chlorine stay outside instead of tracking through the house.

No lifeguard, and hands off the equipment

It's a private pool with no lifeguard on staff — adults supervise kids around the water the same way they would at home. And the pool machinery and valves are never something guests should adjust themselves; if something's not working the way it should, the hosts are a call away.

Good questions

Is the round pool feature a jacuzzi?+

No — it's a spillway spa, a water feature with no jets or bubbles and no heat by default. On stays of 7+ nights, the hosts will heat it as a hot tub for a free 2-hour window each day.

How many hot tubs does the villa actually have?+

Three separate soaking spots get called a 'hot tub': the spillway spa by the pool (heated on request, 7+ nights), the terrace hot tub with ocean views (part of the Chill/Combo/Outdoor packages), and a private jacuzzi tub in the downstairs suite (filled by hand on request).

Is there a lifeguard at the pool?+

No — it's a private pool, so adults supervise kids the way they would at any home pool. No diving anywhere, and the waterslide is limited to 120 lbs, one person at a time.
