Splash pads, wet play areas and outdoor showers

Splash pads and wet play areas for resorts and villas

Families at resorts, beach clubs and residential developments want shallow, playful water zones where children can play without deep water. We build complete wet play areas and shallow splash pools with circulation and treatment.

Electrical connections, isolation, earthing and earth-leakage protection for pumps and controls are carried out by a licensed electrician as agreed with you. A textured PebbleCrete surface feels different underfoot from smooth glazed tile, so we choose the surface for play zones with this in mind.

• Installing floor jets, water rings, spray mushrooms, animal fountains and tipping buckets with dedicated pumps and control valves
• Building the water collection drains, balance tank, filtration and sanitation plant so recirculated play water stays clean
• Finishing splash pads and shallow steps in multi-coloured standard or custom PebbleCrete zones, with a seamless surface and no sharp tile edges
• Textured surface treatment for suitable steps, beach entries and poolside paths

Outdoor showers, shower columns and foot showers

We build standalone outdoor showers in many designs, as well as shower walls, and we have plenty of ideas to suggest. Off-the-shelf metal shower stands often rust in coastal air, and painted walls peel beside a wet deck. We finish outdoor showers in the same PebbleCrete finish as your pool, or in a contrasting one.

• Constructing standalone shower columns and sculpted shower forms, straight or curved shower walls, rooftop showers and poolside foot showers
• Finishing shower walls, floors and tap panels in matching or contrasting PebbleCrete stone-and-pebble finishes
• Building concealed plumbing, drainage channels and surrounding stepping stones into the terrace

Draining, guest access and how we stage the work

For hotels and villas, we plan work around guest areas so facilities stay open wherever possible. An on-site inspection decides whether the main pool must be drained; wet-season or high-groundwater conditions need assessment. The programme is agreed for the individual project.

• Pool stays in use: building or refinishing outdoor showers, foot showers, terrace surface treatment, or a standalone zero-depth splash pad with its own plant
• Pool or splash zone must be drained: finishing a shallow splash pool that shares the main pool water, or resurfacing underwater steps and entries
• Who decides what: we review play features, colour zones and shower positions with the owner or manager, and agree structural, hydraulic and balance-tank decisions with you and your engineer — or, if you don't have one, with our partner engineer

What to send for a first discussion

Send us a few details so we can prepare ideas before visiting the property.

• Photos of the proposed splash pad or shower location, or of the existing area to be upgraded
• The property location and approximate dimensions of the play zone, pool or shower area
• What you want changed, such as spray features, multi-coloured PebbleCrete zones or matching outdoor showers
