Editor's note

A remarkable feature is the prevalence of private pools, with over 165 available across suites and villas, many of which are heated and filled with seawater. The hotel clearly prioritizes its aquatic facilities, ensuring a luxurious and diverse swimming experience for all guests.

Why it's on the list
The Daios Cove offers a comprehensive array of swimming options, including a heated infinity main pool with sea views. Many rooms and villas feature private heated pools. There is also an outdoor adults-only pool for a more tranquil experience, and a dedicated children's pool. The spa provides two indoor pools, one with specific children's hours, complementing the wellness offerings.
Why it's not higher
The main pool can become crowded, and loungers are limited, making it difficult to secure a spot. The adults-only pool is noted as being too small for proper swimming and has limited lounging space. Some guests find the overall pool areas can feel busy.

The official website and Conde Nast offers confirm an infinity heated main pool, 165 private sea water pools, and two indoor spa pools. A web search and Tripadvisor reviews explicitly mention a children's pool and an adults-only pool. The silverspoonlondon.co.uk blog corroborates details on the main pool, private pools, children's pool, adults-only pool, and the two indoor spa pools with children's hours.
