Stunning Pools You Won't Believe are at YHAs

YHA Brisbane City | Queensland

Overlooking the Brisbane River and CBD, there’s no better place to see Brisbane's skyline laid out in front of you than at the pool of YHA Brisbane City. And with a backdrop like this, where else would you want to be? Maybe one day we'll be able to jump straight into our screens to experience it first hand, but until then, you’ll have to make the trip!

YHA Cairns Central | Queensland

Amongst Australians, Cairns sometimes gets unfairly excluded from the 'city' conversation. We guarantee there is plenty to do in this Tropical North Queensland gem, but if you’re just kicking back, YHA Cairns Central has a gorgeous pool waiting for you to get some relief from the heat. 

YHA Byron Bay | New South Wales

Byron Bay might be famous for its beaches, but sometimes you just want to skip the sand and get straight to the swimming. That’s where the pool at YHA Byron Bay comes in – a beautifully serene spot to cool off and unwind, just steps from your room. Surrounded by lush greenery and day beds for soaking up the sun, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.

YHA Sydney Central | New South Wales

YHA Sydney Central is 'that' place that seems to have it all, including (believe it or not), a rooftop indoor pool. From looking at the building from the outside, you'd never guess that there's a rooftop terrace and swimming pool hidden away in the heart of Haymarket, but it’s the perfect spot to relax on a warm afternoon between lunch and dinner while planning your next adventure in Sydney.

YHA Alice Springs | Northern Territory

Australia is hot, but Alice Springs is hot hot. In the unforgiving heat of the Northern Territory, a swimming pool is an absolute must, and YHA Alice Springs delivers. This relaxing pool is perfect after a long day in the outback sun – swim off the red dust of Alice Springs, then kick back for an outdoor movie night. It doesn’t get much better than this!

YHA Cape Byron | New South Wales

If the ultra-chill vibes and bohemian undercurrents aren't enough to keep you mellow while you're staying at YHA Cape Byron, this gorgeous pool should fit the bill. Surrounded by palm trees, deck chairs and hammocks, there’s no better way to recharge than setting up here for a splash-filled afternoon with friends old and new.

That was just a few of our favourites, but not all of them! Check out the rest of our poolside properties:
