10 hotels with impressive sunbeds for a relaxing holiday

24 Sep 2022  •  Specification  •  By Surabhi Patil

Pools, daybeds and lounges make up the focal point for most hotels in summer destinations. The pool area becomes the hotel's highlight, offering a relaxing holiday ahead. 

 

Daybeds translate into a combination of sofa plus bed, whereas sunbeds are a subcategory, generally used outdoors by the poolside, sea, garden or terrace. Needless to say, the choice of daybeds is a key factor in the design of the hotel landscape. 

 

From curvy daybeds mirroring the shape of waves to a classic upholstered one for maximum comfort, the following list is a collection of 10 such daybeds elevating the hotel experience.
