Corsica, with its sunny climate and Mediterranean lifestyle, is a place where pools hold particular importance. For 2025, several key trends in pool construction and renovation are emerging, aligning with the preferences of the island’s residents while embracing technological and aesthetic advances in the sector.
Large Tile Finishes Inspired by Bali
Large tiles, especially those with Balinese inspiration, continue to gain popularity in Corsica. Their refined appearance evokes exotic pools and integrates seamlessly into the natural landscapes of the island. However, the maintenance challenges of traditional tiles, along with the wear and tear on the grout over time, are driving consumers to choose alternatives such as the reinforced membrane from the StoneTile range by Haogenplast. This finish, available through Karlson in partnership with Innostyre, recreates the look of large tiles without the maintenance and grout issues.
Modern and Aesthetic Membranes: The Vogue Range
Consumer tastes in Corsica are evolving towards more modern and elegant finishes. The Vogue range from Renolit, with its trendy color palettes, especially the Urban and Vintage collections, perfectly matches these new aspirations. It not only provides a contemporary aesthetic but also high-quality technical performance, ensuring longevity and easy maintenance.
High-End Outdoor Kitchens
In 2025, high-end outdoor kitchens are becoming a central feature of pool areas in Corsica. Corsicans, always seeking conviviality and moments shared outdoors, are increasingly opting for sophisticated, fully equipped kitchens, far beyond the traditional barbecue. Eggersmann, represented in Corsica by A&S Créations, offers fully customizable outdoor kitchens crafted from premium materials such as ceramic and a selection of high-quality woods (larch, sipo, iroko...). Designed to last over 50 years, these kitchens offer exceptional resistance to the elements while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
This trend reflects a growing desire to integrate outdoor living spaces with the pool, allowing people to fully enjoy the surroundings while staying close to the swimming area. Corsicans are looking for practical and aesthetic designs, and these kitchens bring a touch of luxury and functionality, enhancing the outdoor experience. In 2025, these installations will become a must for those who want to combine comfort, design, and convivial moments around the pool.
Energy-Efficient Equipment and Advanced Technologies
In Corsica, energy efficiency has become a key issue in pool maintenance. For 2025, more eco-friendly and advanced solutions are increasingly in demand to reduce environmental impact while ensuring optimal performance.
Among the cutting-edge equipment, BWT stands out with innovations such as the BWT Infinity variable-speed pumps, which are revolutionizing energy management for pools. These pumps automatically adjust the flow according to the pool’s actual needs, reducing electricity consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional pumps. By lowering the operating speed during filtration periods, energy consumption is drastically reduced, and the pump operates at full capacity only during filter cleaning. This technology not only saves on electricity bills but also extends the life of equipment by reducing wear and tear.
BWT’s robotic cleaners, such as the D600 APP, are also at the forefront of energy-efficient equipment. With intelligent navigation and the ability to clean walls, floors, and the waterline, these robots operate independently without engaging the main filtration system. They consume very little energy, around 150 watts, while delivering exceptional cleaning performance. Mobile app control allows users to adjust cleaning cycles and optimize their function based on needs.
Finally, the new Be Brane 3D Surface membranes from BWT, made from 25% bio-sourced PVC, are an eco-friendly choice for pool owners in Corsica. These membranes, while offering an elegant and modern design, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% during production. They are also highly durable, with antibacterial protection and stain resistance, making them both high-performance and environmentally friendly products.
Thanks to these innovations, pool owners can now enjoy equipment that is both high-performing and environmentally responsible, in line with contemporary concerns.
Automation and Remote Management
In Corsica, more and more pool owners are seeking automated solutions to simplify the maintenance of their installations. With technologies such as autonomous robotic cleaners and remote control systems, it is now possible to manage all aspects of the pool from a mobile app. These systems allow for monitoring chemical levels, adjusting water temperature, or programming cleaning cycles, reducing manual interventions and ensuring consistent water quality. Automation provides additional convenience, especially for secondary residences, ensuring that pools are always ready for use with minimal effort.
Clean and Minimalist Designs
Minimalism continues to dominate new pool constructions in Corsica. More and more owners are opting for clean lines, infinity pools, or basins with simple geometric shapes. These pools, often characterized by sober colors such as grey, beige, or off-white, blend harmoniously into the surrounding landscape. This minimalist style prioritizes understated elegance and highlights nature, especially in the rich natural environments of Corsica, where pools must often harmonize with the island’s wild setting.
Renovations and Refurbishments of Existing Pools
Pool renovations are a booming market in Corsica, where many installations are several decades old. Today, owners seek to modernize their pools to meet new aesthetic and technical standards. Among the most popular solutions are reinforced membranes, known for their durability, weather resistance, and renewed aesthetic appeal. These membranes are often chosen to renovate old structures, as they refresh the pool's appearance while providing extra protection against wear. Refurbishments also include adding new features such as contemporary pool edges, eco-friendly heating systems, or LED lighting for a refined ambiance.
Conclusion
The pool trends for 2025 in Corsica combine aesthetics, durability, and technology. Whether through innovative finishes like StoneTile, sophisticated outdoor kitchen solutions with Eggersmann, or energy-efficient equipment, pools remain a symbol of comfort and conviviality for Corsicans. Consumer expectations are evolving, with a growing desire to integrate pools into a sustainable and decidedly modern approach.
