These pool inflatables will make the ultimate IG backdrop on your girls vacay

Pool inflatables for adults go hand in hand with summer holidays. You’ve got your girls around you, Aperol spritzes are on tap and the blazing 30-degree heat is shining down on your bronzed arms and shoulders. Utter. Bliss. What could possibly level-up this dreamy scene? A pool inflatable.

These novelty blow-ups have come a long way since the days when our parents would take us down the beach, tyre-style rubber rings in tow. Yep: you can now adorn your holiday pool with everything from a flamingo to a donut, because why wouldn’t you want a sugar-dusted sweet treat alongside your lunchtime Whispering Angel?

Of course, you can still procure the usual family-friendly supplies, pool rings, armbands and the like, but reader, we think you can do better. We see your multipack trio of lilos, sans-pillow and barely broad enough to support a newborn (let alone a fully grown adult) and we raise you a selection of glistening beacons: ride-on unicorns and cup holder-equipped floating armchairs aplenty. Take a walk on the wild (read: comfy) side, why don’t you.

Our pick? We’ll be taking to the swimming pool this summer with this Amazon mesh float. With everything from a drinks holder to a perforated hammock support, this floatie will keep you relaxed and cool as your rear half chills, afloat in the water. Elsewhere, if laying out on a sun lounger is far too zen for your liking, the ultimate fun-in-the-sun duo has got to be a beach volleyball pool game and a buoyant drinks holder to go with it. Pool party goals, if you ask us.
