Travertine pool surrounds are among the most popular choices for outdoor living spaces, combining safety, comfort, and timeless beauty. Naturally slip-resistant and cool underfoot, travertine is ideal for pool decks, patios, and spa areas. Turkish travertine is globally recognized for its durability and Mediterranean charm, making it a top material for both residential and resort-style pools.
Travertine is widely used around pools and water features in both residential and commercial settings. Pool decks, patios, and spa areas benefit from its slip resistance and natural cooling effect. Resorts and hotels often choose travertine for outdoor leisure spaces due to its combination of safety and luxury. It also integrates well with gardens, courtyards, and outdoor kitchens, making it a versatile material for complete outdoor environments.
Tumbled or brushed travertine provides R11–R13 slip resistance and stays cooler underfoot than concrete. Use 30–40 mm pavers for durability.
20–30 mm slabs with rounded edges are ideal for pool coping. Seal regularly to prevent water absorption and chemical damage.
Travertine mosaics or small-format tiles can be used for waterlines and steps. Seal and maintain for resistance to chlorine and salt water.

Travertine pool pavers and tiles are produced in thicknesses of 30–50 mm for durability. Common sizes include modular patterns, 300×300 mm, 400×400 mm, and 600×600 mm formats. Absorption rates are typically 0.5–1.0%, requiring sealing to protect from pool chemicals and weather exposure. Tumbled and brushed finishes are most popular for pool decks due to their grip and rustic style.
Travertine pool surrounds should be installed on compacted sand, gravel or mortar with proper drainage. Sealing is essential to protect from chlorine, saltwater, and stains. Resealing every 12–18 months is recommended. Regular sweeping and rinsing with clean water maintain performance. Avoid acidic or harsh cleaners that could damage the stone or filler.
