Cala Mariolu

Designed by Aquabella
This moodboard captures the striking beauty of Cala Mariolu beach in Italy through clear blue water tones, cool natural stone, and rugged coastal texture. The Santa Monica tile brings color and movement to the waterline and spa, while Blue Stone pavers, matching coping, and Monterey Ledgerstone reflect the beach’s dramatic rocky surroundings. Polished Turchino creates a bright, inviting pool interior, and the Designer Series Fire & Water Scupper adds warmth, motion, and a memorable finishing touch.

Waterline- Beachfront Santa Monica 3x12

Santa Monica 3 × 12 porcelain tile brings a rich blue-green color to the waterline, reflecting the clear, shifting waters of Cala Mariolu. Its coastal tones create a relaxed transition around the pool while providing the lasting performance needed for aquatic environments.

Spa- Beachfront Santa Monica Star 6x6

Santa Monica Star 6 × 6 porcelain tile turns the spa into a decorative statement with its bold coastal pattern. As part of the same Beachfront Series, it blends naturally with the Santa Monica 3 × 12 waterline tile while giving the spa its own eye-catching personality.

Pavers- Blue Stone French Pattern

Blue Stone pavers create a strong foundation for the pool deck with deep blue and slate-gray tones that blend naturally with the Santa Monica tile. Their subtle variation and refined matte finish add depth without overpowering the design, while the durable stone construction provides reliable performance for outdoor spaces.

Coping - Blue Stone

Blue Stone coping continues the cool blue-gray tones of the matching pavers, creating a clean and coordinated transition at the pool’s edge. Its natural movement adds subtle character, while the available bullnose and eased-edge profiles provide a sleek finish that can complement a range of modern pool designs.

Ledgerstone- Monterey Panel 6x24 and Corner

Monterey Ledgerstone brings soft gray and neutral earth tones to the design, reflecting the rugged limestone cliffs surrounding Cala Mariolu. Its natural variation and multi-level texture add depth to pool walls, raised features, and other vertical surfaces while coordinating beautifully with the Blue Stone pavers and coping.

Pool Finish- Polished Turchino (Hydrazzo Pacifico)

Polished Turchino brings a soft light-blue tone to the pool interior, creating clear, inviting water reminiscent of Cala Mariolu. Its polished surface reveals subtle color variation and depth while remaining smooth and comfortable underfoot. Durable, stain-resistant, and easy to maintain, it adds lasting beauty to the entire pool.

Scuppers- Designer Series 12

The Designer Series Fire & Water Scupper brings a sculptural element to the pool with its bold, unexpected shape. Flowing water adds calming movement and sound, while the flame creates warmth and visual drama. Together, the two features give the design a focal point that feels classy, playful, and unique.
