Carefully weighing the pros and cons of throwing a party in your host city is the secret to planning a smooth event. Here are a few things you should keep in mind while searching for a pool party venue, so nothing catches you by surprise:
Advantages
Gorgeous weather goes hand-in-hand with pool parties, and Los Angeles CA is sunny year-round. What more can you ask for?
There’s so much culinary talent in LA. You can indulge in multicultural eats from top chefs and there’s also a huge plant-based community here, catering to those with dietary restrictions.
There’s great nightlife in LA so an impromptu afterparty is almost a guarantee.
Disadvantages
You will need to rent a car to get around (especially if you’re renting a house in the hills).
It’s expensive across the board: food, entertainment, and yes, event vendors.
Living in Los Angeles without a car is not ideal, so you will have to hire a private transportation shuttle for your guests without vehicles.
When shopping for party venues in Los Angeles CA, you’ll be faced with so many decisions you'll feel like your head is spinning. From private pools in Beverly Hills to a poolside cabana in West Hollywood, our rentals have exciting features like a designer sound system and ocean views, plus convenient bonuses like free parking.
Budget-Friendly Bungalows – For Extended Families and Kids. If all you’re looking for is an afternoon of family fun splashing around in a heated pool, these modest abodes will serve you well. These simple backyards may not be overly fancy, but they are curated for maximum enjoyment. With pool floats, grills, lawn games, hammocks, and tiki bars galore, you’ll never find yourself short on entertainment.
Oceanview Estates – Envy Worthy Estates. Exuding classic LA appeal, these modern houses feature crisp white facades, infinity-edge saltwater pools, luxury daybeds, a fire pit or two, and plenty of palms. This is a fantastic option for a rich, minimalist aesthetic, and an unforgettable day of fun in the sun. Some of these venues even have a Scandinavian sauna and a hot tub for maximum relaxation.
Hillside Mansions – A Euro Summer Dream. These feats of Mediterranean architecture and Spanish courtyards are utterly elegant. Just imagine sipping a poolside cocktail amidst lush landscaping, jungle-like gardens, and intimate, alfresco dining areas. It’s a tropical oasis!
Desert Destinations – Escape the desert heat with a plunge pool retreat. Ranging from minimalist-retro cowboy tubs and sun decks spotted with pretty parasols, a pool party venue out by Joshua Tree is a guaranteed showstopper. These hidden gems are surrounded by cacti and a big sky all around, perfect for overnight stargazing.
From birthday parties to bachelorettes, being a thoughtful host is not as effortless as it looks. Once you’ve chosen a centrally located venue with stunning views and picked some refreshing cocktails to serve as your signature drink, here are a few pool party-specific considerations:
Make a Safety Plan – While it’s not the fun part of planning, keeping your guests safe needs to be your utmost priority when there’s water involved. If you’re hosting a crowd with mixed swimming capabilities or families with lots of children, it may be worth hiring a lifeguard for peace of mind.
Break Out the BBQ – Don’t overcomplicate your pool party menu. Especially when it’s hot, guests don’t always feel like sitting down to an elaborate hot dinner. Stick with the basics—people love hotdogs, hamburgers, salads, and handheld munchies for a reason.
Set Up a Guest Comfort Station – An afternoon under the LA sun does not come without its risks. Help keep your guests calm, cool, and collected with water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray, and maybe even a few cheap hats and flip-flops at a self-serve station.
Dreaming of a poolside birthday party on a shoestring budget? Choosing one of Giggster’s indoor and outdoor pools that you can rent by the hour is a great start, but here are a few other ways you can host an amazing night with your friends and family for less:
Check out dollar store delights.
Pool parties are some of the easiest to deck out at the dollar store. Most shops will have a wide selection of beach balls, pool noodles, inflatables, funky drink cups, and more. Even a 10-pack of basic balloons floating around or glow sticks for an after-dark diving adventure will help elevate the ambiance.
Go BYOB.
Pool parties tend to have a more laid-back vibe than your standard dinner party. Most guests kind of assume that casual backyard gatherings are BYOB anyway, but make sure you communicate clearly to avoid any confusion if you go this route.
Start Early and Shop Sales
You can start keeping your eyes on the flyers for any non-perishables on your party shopping list as soon as the date is set. From decor to family-size bags of chips, those little savings here and there will be a fairly sizeable sum by the time your party comes.
Why settle for a visit to an overcrowded public pool in downtown LA when you could sip cocktails at a rooftop bar while the sun sets over the Santa Monica Mountains? The Giggster app is the only resource you’ll need to book the city’s most popular pool party venues.
