Meet travelers while they're choosing where to swim.
People come to Pool Atlas with a trip in mind and a pool high on the list. We work with a small number of hotels, tourism boards and travel brands each season to reach them with work that looks and reads like the rest of the site.
Sponsors can't buy a rank or move up one. That independence is what makes a place on Pool Atlas worth something.

Tell us a little about you and what you'd like to do. We'll reply personally with ideas and pricing.
Good to know
Can we pay to be ranked, or to move up?
No. Rankings are decided by our editors and never sold. A sponsorship never changes where a pool ranks, and a hotel doesn't need to be ranked to work with us.
How is sponsored work labeled?
Clearly. Partner stories, sponsored spots and presented guides all carry a visible partnership label, and links follow search engine guidelines for paid placements.
What does it cost?
It depends on the placement, the season and how long it runs. Send us a note and we'll share options and pricing for what you have in mind.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. Agencies are welcome to write in for one client or several.
