Float the remaining days of summer away on one of the season’s hottest trends: luxury inflatable rafts, which prove as practical as they are stylish and are continually endorsed by celebs on social media.
These picture-perfect adult floats will have you ready for end-of-summer BBQs, beach outings and pool parties. Ride-on, lie-on, float or play, having fun in the sun has never looked better.
1. Swimline Giant Flamingo Pool Float ($119)
Since making its debut on celebrity Instagrams, Swimline’s perky pink bird has become the status quo of summer pool parties. It’s big enough to fit two adults or a trio of kids, and the flamingo’s wings give it extra stability so you don’t go flying off into the deep end.
