Designing a Wellness Pool: Water and Design for Inner Well-being
30 November 2025
Discover the Vista Ostuni pool project: three luxury experiences combining history, design, and Myrtha technology. Teknopiscine signs the water on the white city.
In the heart of the white city, among pristine alleys and Mediterranean light, stands Vista Ostuni, one of the most fascinating five-star luxury hotels in Southern Italy. The structure was born from the requalification of the former 14th-century Tobacco Factory, owned by the Passera family and now part of the prestigious The Leading Hotels of the World network.
The rebirth of this historic building represents a virtuous example of how architecture, wellness, and technology can coexist harmoniously. And it is precisely in this balance that the collaboration between Studio RMA of architect Roberto Murgia and the technical expertise of Teknopiscine is placed, which was called upon to design and create three pools perfectly integrated into the hotel’s identity.
Three Pools, Three Wellness Experiences for a Luxury Hotel in Ostuni
The project did not simply involve the insertion of some basins: the goal was to create three different water experiences, capable of engaging with the spaces, the history of the building, and the surrounding landscape.
1. The Garden Pool: Wellness Among Olive Trees and Mediterranean Scrub
Immersed in greenery, the main pool celebrates the most authentic dimension of Apulian holidays: light, nature, centuries-old olive trees, and the scents of the Mediterranean scrub. Here, the water becomes an extension of the landscape, offering an elegant and relaxing experience.
2. The Infinity Pool on the Rooftop: The Panoramic Pool on the Sky of Ostuni
The most fascinating challenge was the creation of the rooftop pool. A rooftop pool in a historic structure imposes constraints, precision, and structural lightness: perfect conditions for the use of Myrtha technology, chosen by Teknopiscine to bring water “at height.”
The result is an Infinity Pool with an open view of the white city and the sea. An aerial experience that transforms every swim into a spectacular moment, suspended between contemporary architecture and history.
3. The Indoor Spa Pool: Year-Round Wellness
The third pool completes the triad with an area reserved for continuous relaxation, functional in all seasons and perfectly integrated into the wellness pathways of the hotel’s Spa.
Why Teknopiscine: Myrtha Technology as the Key to Success
For such a complex building, with ancient walls and significant structural constraints, a technology capable of guaranteeing lightness, reliability, and millimeter precision was needed.
The choice fell to Teknopiscine precisely for its ability to combine technical expertise and Myrtha innovation, an exclusive technology of Piscine Castiglione. This modular stainless steel system allowed them to:
- Install a self-supporting and light pool, ideal for a rooftop.
- Ensure absolute precision in the overflow, impossible to achieve with the tolerances of reinforced concrete.
- Respect the architectural constraints of the historic building.
- Complete the project on schedule, with a rapid and clean construction site.
- Integrate high-quality finishes, such as the marble cladding chosen for the rooftop.
A solution that transformed complex technical challenges into an opportunity to enhance the architectural beauty of the hotel.
Design, History, and Innovation: A Collaboration That Enhances Puglia
The Vista Ostuni project demonstrates how the synergy between design vision and advanced technological solutions can generate a unique result. The collaboration between Studio RMA and Teknopiscine allowed them to merge:
- The historical memory of the former Tobacco Factory,
- A contemporary design oriented towards luxury,
- Cutting-edge construction technology.
Vista Ostuni is not simply a hotel: it is a place where ancient and modern mutually enhance each other. And the water – in its three forms, three spaces, and three experiences – becomes the common thread that unites wellness, architecture, and the Apulian panorama.
