Dive in, Melbourne.
The creators of St Jerome’s – The Hotel will open the doors to the Reunion Island Pool Club from midday on Friday 25 January, offering a “luxury escape in the heart of the city”. Imagine if an iconic Aussie public pool (or pearl, as they say in Brisbane) met with the glamour of an L.A.-inspired palm sanctuary.
It’s the first rooftop pool, bar and leisure centre of its kind in Australia and is set to remain open until the end of May.
Private pool bookings are available for 2 – 12 people, plus there’s an infrared sauna, along with food and beverage pool service.
A pop-up residency from Easey’s Burgers will bring the burgers, CLUB sandwiches and tacos, L.A. style) served from The Kiosk, accompanied by ice-cold beer, a selection of wines, a gin station, and sparkling cocktails to sip on.

All pools are fitted with Ultimate Ears sound systems and at the General Store you can grab a pair of sunglasses, club branded towels, visors and stubby holders. Every poolside need is covered, there is even water. I knew today would be amazing.
