Fulham open rooftop infinity pool at Craven Cottage with £3,000-a-year membership fee

Fulham have opened a rooftop infinity pool at Craven Cottage, offering views of the pitch and the River Thames to anyone willing to pay £3,000 a year — plus a £250 joining fee — for access through the Sael Spa on the stadium’s new Sky Deck.

The four-floor Sky Deck sits atop the newly refurbished Riverside Stand and is operated in partnership with Sael Spa, which forms part of the Fulham Pier complex adjacent to the ground. Individual membership grants access to the pool and the spa’s full range of amenities, which remain open year-round regardless of the football calendar. A joint membership is available at £5,500 annually.

The price point places the pool membership in roughly the same bracket as Fulham’s own adult season ticket, already the most expensive in the Premier League at around £3,000 per year. Those hoping to use the pool cannot simply pay and dive in, either — membership initially secures a place on a waiting list.

There is a notable caveat for anyone drawn by the matchday panorama: Sael Spa closes the rooftop section early on matchdays, meaning the pool is not accessible during games.

The Sky Deck is part of a broader redevelopment of the Riverside Stand overseen by American billionaire owner Shahid Khan, who opted to expand Craven Cottage rather than pursue a move to a new stadium. The renovation added almost 4,000 seats, bringing the ground’s capacity to just under 30,000. Membership perks beyond pool access include Michelin Star dining and spa treatments.

On the pitch, the club’s newly appointed manager Álvaro Arbeloa — the former Liverpool and Real Madrid defender — is yet to record his first win since taking charge, with Fulham currently sitting 19th in the Premier League.
