If you’re thinking of upgrading your backyard pool, listen up — tanning ledges (aka Baja shelves or sun shelves) are a must-have feature. These shallow, wide platforms sit just a few inches under the water, perfect for lounging in a chair or just stretching out in the sun without fully diving in. Think of it as a poolside chaise lounge in the water — ultimate resort vibes, right at home.

Homeowners are loving tanning ledges for their mix of function and flair. They’re great for relaxing adults, safe for toddlers to splash around, and even a favorite chill spot for dogs 

. Designers are taking things up a notch with built-in umbrellas, bubblers (tiny fountains for a spa-like effect), and even in-water furniture. And yes, they make your pool look instantly more high-end.

This trend isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s also changing how people use their pools. It adds a social, hangout-friendly zone that doesn’t require swimming. Whether you’re sunbathing, sipping a drink, or just dipping your toes in, tanning ledges make it easy to enjoy the water without getting soaked. So if you’re building or renovating a pool, this little shelf might be the smartest (and chillest) upgrade you can make this year!
