Poolside Sun Loungers: How to Style Them Like a Riviera Hotel
The difference between a backyard pool and a Riviera hotel pool isn't the size. It's the styling. With a few pieces, your poolside sun loungers can look like a sun deck in Saint-Tropez, and you probably already own the loungers.
1. Dress Every Sun Lounger in a Striped Towel
Hotel pools lay a fresh towel on every lounger, and it instantly looks intentional. Choose one stripe palette and repeat it. The Lido Sand-Free Towel ($45) is an oversized 90 x 180 cm quick-dry towel that covers a full-length sun lounger. For a softer look, drape The Turkish Tassel Towel ($60) over the back of your pool lounge chairs.
2. Add a Pillow
Most poolside sun loungers are flat and firm. The Poolside Pillow ($50) is an inflatable cushion with a soft-touch cover that turns any lounge chair by the pool into somewhere you can actually read for an hour.
3. Set Up a Drinks Station
A small side table between each pair of pool chairs and lounges, a jug of something cold and a stack of glasses is all it takes. When lunch moves into the water, The Spritz Float ($55) carries the drinks with you.
4. Put Something Beautiful in the Water
Pool lounge chairs on the deck are only half the picture. A canopy float in the water is what makes the scene. The Dolly Lounge Chair ($115) and The Riviera Canopy Lounger ($120) are the in-pool versions of your sun loungers, with canopies and cup holders. Find out which suits you in our pool lounger guide.
5. Keep the Clutter Contained
Sunscreen, phones and books scattered across every lounger kill the hotel feeling. One Dolly Beach Tote ($55) per lounger keeps everything in one place, and a Bikini Bag ($20) holds wet swimwear.
Free Delivery, Gift-Boxed
Every Miss Dolly Drift float arrives in our signature gift box with a carry bag. Delivery is free on Australian orders over $99, express is available at checkout and you have 30 days to return anything unused.
