The pool, is free-form. with features like a bar, broad entrance steps off a pavilion, a wading area, a grotto with a waterfall and a pebbled beach with a little side stream. The pool deck is paved with Dholpur stones which feel cool when moistened and are non-slip.

The focal point of Pousada-Tauma is a plethora of hand-crafted wooden-deck beds to relax, sun-bathe, soothed by the theraupetic sound of flowing water. The bottom and sides of the pool are finished in a striking artistic mosaic of "re-cycled broken tiles". The pool complex includes a pool-bar, pool-side pavilion and a water-cascade.

The complex is dramatically enhanced by a tropical garden. Moving through it, one experiences a sense of discovery, as buildings and open spaces slowly unfold as one goes along, where the lush planting of cool colours are offset by the brilliant warm, articulated laterite walls.
