Regardless of size, swimming pools are synonymous with luxury. Being able to cool off or take a sun tan in the privacy of one's own back yard is a sure sign of living the good life. A secluded swimming pool is an amenity that few have, but many yearn for.
And a pool is not just a pool, when it comes to home improvement. A pool is also a deck and landscaping, and maybe even a pool house. It is all of the components that I just mentioned which make pools so luxurious.
These 13 secluded swimming pools are downright dreamy. If you could lounge by one of these, which one would you choose?

Yes, Jeeves, I would love another martini. Extra olives, and a bowl of Marcona almonds on the side please.
