amalfi & cabo in taupe stripes at la luna beach club
Gold Coast's premier beach club destination has had Amalfi and Cabo in taupe stripes floating in its pool since 2022. La Luna Beach Club is where guests come for the long lunch, the late swim and the golden hour that follows. We're proud to have been part of its poolside every summer since. This case study covers what a busy beach club needs from its pool seating, why this taupe stripe pair suits La Luna so well, and what other venues can take from it if they're furnishing a pool deck of their own.
a beach club built for long afternoons
La Luna Beach Club sits on the Gold Coast waterfront, with a pool deck, daybeds, umbrellas and a marina backdrop. People don't pop in for twenty minutes here. They arrive late morning and settle in, which means the seating has to be comfortable for hours, easy on the eye and tough enough to be used all day, every day.
The pool itself is the centrepiece. It's where guests take photos, where groups gather and where the club's neutral, coastal palette is most on show. Any furniture that goes into that water has to look like it belongs there.
why pool seating for venues is harder than it looks
Pool furniture for a home and pool furniture for a venue are very different jobs. A commercial pool deck deals with strong sun, chlorine or salt, sunscreen, wet bodies and a constant rotation of guests. Add a busy season, and anything that's delicate or fiddly soon becomes a headache for the team looking after it.
Four things matter most:
- Fabric that handles the conditions. Our pool range uses 320GSM olefin with a TPU coating, suitable for salt water, chlorinated water and magnesium pools. If you'd like the detail, we've written about what olefin fabric is and why it suits outdoor furniture.
- Fast drainage and drying. Guests climb in and out all day, so water needs to pass through rather than sit.
- No air to lose. A pool float that depends on air can go flat. One that floats on bean fill doesn't.
- A look that suits the venue. Seating should add to the setting, not fight it.
meet amalfi, the pool lounger
The Amalfi Pool Lounger is the more upright of the two. It has a high back and a generous seat, so guests can sit up for a drink and then lean back when they want to rest. Filled, it measures 120 x 90 x 60 cm and takes about 400 litres of bean fill, which is why it holds its shape so well on the water.
There are practical details that matter in a venue, too. A breathable mesh base drains quickly and helps keep mildew away. A 316 stainless steel eyelet lets staff hang it to dry or tether it when needed. Dual-locking zippers and a clean fill chute make filling and maintenance quick and secure.
meet cabo, the non-inflatable pool float
The Cabo Pool Float is the lower, flatter one, made for stretching out. Filled, it measures 135 x 105 x 25 cm and takes about 200 litres of fill. There's no air inside, so there's no pump, nothing to puncture and nothing to find deflated in the morning. It floats on its bean fill, and polystyrene doesn't sink.
If you're weighing up options, our guide to non-inflatable pool floats for adults explains why more pools are moving away from air. Venues wanting something bigger again can look at the Portsea Pool Float, which is the larger float in the range.
Both pieces ship as a cover with no inner liner, so the filling is added after delivery. That keeps freight costs down and lets you set the firmness yourself.
why taupe stripes work at la luna
Colour is half the story. Taupe and white stripes sit quietly against blue pool water, pale stonework and the soft neutrals used throughout the club. They look relaxed rather than loud, and they photograph beautifully in the afternoon light. Guests keep photographing them against the crescent moon sculpture and the marina beyond.
Stripes also do a clever job on a busy deck. They suit La Luna's resort look, and they give the pool a consistent identity even when guests are moving around. Both Amalfi and Cabo are available in taupe stripes, so a venue can mix a lounger and a float and still have the pool look planned.

how venues keep them looking good
Pool seating lasts longest with a simple routine. Our care advice for venues is short:
- Rinse after use to remove sunscreen, salt and chlorine.
- Hang to dry using the eyelet where fitted, or leave on the deck in the shade.
- Store undercover between uses where possible.
- Clean with mild soap and water, and avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Fill to about three-quarters so there's room for the beans to move and shape to the guest.
One honest note. No bean bag is waterproof, because a sealed bag can't breathe. Ours are water resistant, they drain quickly and they dry fast, which is what you want from something that lives in a pool. Mould can't be stopped outdoors, but the fabric is made so it sits on the surface and cleans off. Both products carry a one year warranty.
Beans aren't included, so you'll need to add filling. You can add bean bag filling to your order, and our step-by-step guide to refilling bean bags makes topping up an easy job for the team.

what this means for your venue
If you run a resort, hotel, beach club or holiday park, the La Luna approach is easy to copy. Pick a colourway that suits the setting, mix a lounger with a float so guests have a choice, and choose fabric made for sun, salt and chlorine. Then look after it with a quick rinse and dry routine.
