Even with limited outdoor space, the growing desire for comfort is pushing many homeowners in Luxembourg to choose compact solutions to transform their garden or terrace into a true wellness retreat. Mini-pools, spas and outdoor showers have become must-haves for summer 2025, even in smaller areas.

Equipment tailored for small gardens

In 2025, mini-pools ranging from 2 to 4 meters, private spas, and outdoor showers are proving popular with homeowners in terraced or urban houses across Luxembourg. These features fit easily into smaller plots without sacrificing comfort. They make it possible to create a relaxing space without the need for major works or large plots of land.

Simple setup, maximum effect

On a practical level, these solutions are easy to install. A flat surface, water access, and electricity are often all you need. Inflatable spas are available from €600, while professionally installed mini-pools can cost up to €10,000. Solar-powered outdoor showers are quick to set up and add a stylish, functional touch to any green space.

Regulations: what you should know

In Luxembourg, a building permit is generally required for any in-ground or semi-inground pool larger than 20 m² or deeper than one metre. By contrast, smaller above-ground pools, particularly temporary ones, can often be installed without formalities, provided they comply with minimum distance rules—typically 1.90 m from neighbouring properties. When planning your project, it’s essential to consult the local building regulations of your municipality.

As for safety, certain features have become essential to minimise risks, especially in households with children. Pool fences, rigid safety covers, retractable shelters, and immersion alarms are all widely adopted today.

Lastly, don’t forget to notify your home insurance provider of your installation to ensure proper coverage in the event of an incident.

Boosting property value by improving outdoor living

Beyond everyday comfort, these outdoor upgrades can significantly impact the value of your property. On the Luxembourg real estate market, a well-equipped outdoor space can increase a home's perceived value by 5 to 10%. This is especially true in urbanised areas where garden properties stand out. A well-integrated mini-pool or spa can therefore become a strong selling point or rental advantage!

Compact, easy to install, and valuable in the long term, wellness-focused outdoor equipment ticks all the right boxes. In 2025, the mini-pool or spa becomes more than a luxury—it’s a new way to fully enjoy your home.
