Babcock Ranch Pool with Raised Spa and Dual Sun Shelves
This Babcock Ranch pool combines a 17-by-32-foot swimming area with two sun shelves, a raised spa and Ocean Blue Leathered Marble decking. Caribbean Blue PebbleTec gives the interior a rich finish, while glass tile accents highlight the steps.
Each sun shelf includes a Pentair ColorVision bubbler, providing movement in the shallow areas. The six-foot spa sits 18 inches above the pool, adding another distinct feature to the design. Around the water, a 27-by-60-foot deck footprint provides substantial space, complemented by a screen enclosure with 40-foot and 20-foot picture windows.
Two Sun Shelves and a Separate Spa
The two sun shelves are a defining feature of this pool. Rather than limiting shallow-water lounging to a single area, the design incorporates two shelves, each with its own Pentair ColorVision bubbler. The features add movement while giving both shallow areas a clear identity.
The raised spa introduces a different experience. With a six-foot interior diameter and an elevation of 18 inches, it creates a separate level within the overall pool layout.
The enclosure also contributes to the design. Its 40-foot and 20-foot picture windows provide broad viewing openings, while the absence of chair rails throughout the cage removes intermediate horizontal framing. These details keep the enclosure from becoming the primary visual focus of the space.

A Spacious Pool with Distinct Water Features
The pool’s proportions allow the swimming area, two sun shelves and raised spa to remain distinct within one layout. The shelves introduce shallow-water areas, while the spa adds height and a separate focal point.
The finish selections help tie those elements together. Caribbean Blue PebbleTec brings color to the water, and Ocean Blue Leathered Marble carries a complementary tone across the deck. Glass tile provides a finer detail at the steps without competing with the larger surfaces.
The enclosure completes the design with two broad picture window openings. Together, the pool layout, finishes and enclosure details give the project its own character while keeping the main features visually connected.
Planning a Pool in Babcock Ranch
When planning a pool with multiple shelves and a raised spa, it is important to consider how the features relate to one another and how much surrounding deck space the overall design requires. Enclosure openings and finishes also influence the completed setting.
