Background music for pools and beach clubs: 8 great playlists
More than any other spaces in your hotel, pools and beach clubs are where guests of all ages can truly let go — relaxing, socializing and soaking in the scene.
Because your brand presence doesn't stop at your lobby or restaurant, the music in these areas should be just as well tuned. In fact, studies have shown that the right pool and beach songs impact mood and energy, influence guest flow and even encourage visitors to spend more on food and drinks.
Here are eight Soundtrack playlists — fit for a serene infinity pool, a family-friendly splash pad, a chic coastal beach club and everything in between — that will elevate your guests' waterside experience.
