Handcrafted Moroccan zellige, Moorish mosaic, terracotta, and Mediterranean ceramic tiles for the private estates of the Hamptons and Greenwich, the manor houses of Westchester and the Gold Coast, and every distinguished New York address.
Nowhere in the northeast is the pool a more deliberate statement of taste than in the great estate communities of New York. In the Hamptons, the outdoor pool is the social and architectural center of summer life — the setting against which Further Lane and Lily Pond Lane estates are judged, admired, and remembered. In Greenwich's Belle Haven and Round Hill Road compounds, the pool is the jewel of a manicured landscape that competes at an international standard.
For the most considered homeowners and their architects across the Tri-State area, the tile that lines that pool is a design decision of the first order. The northeast's extraordinary light — the silver Atlantic quality of a Hamptons morning, the golden warmth of a Hudson Valley afternoon — interacts with pool tile in a way unique to this region. The luminous, hand-glazed surface of Moroccan zellige catches and animates that light in a way no machine-made tile can replicate.
At Mediterranean Pool Tiles, every tile is sourced directly from master craftsmen in Fez, Morocco — the historic epicenter of the zellige tradition, unchanged for more than eight centuries. These materials have withstood demanding coastal and continental climates since the 14th century. In New York, they simply belong.
Hand-cut, mineral-glazed clay tile that catches the Atlantic light of the Hamptons with a shimmer no manufactured tile achieves. The defining luxury pool tile for Further Lane, Belle Haven, and Lily Pond Lane.

We deliver to every distinguished address in the New York metropolitan area — from the oceanfront estates of the Hamptons to the rooftop pools of Manhattan and the manor houses of Westchester. Our team provides full project support for homeowners, architects, and pool contractors throughout the region.
From Further Lane and Lily Pond Lane to the vineyard-country manors of Sagaponack and the waterfront compounds of North Haven — the East End of Long Island is the most design-conscious luxury residential market in the northeastern United States. Our zellige, terracotta, and mosaic collections are regularly specified for Hamptons projects by architects and homeowners whose standards are set by direct experience of the world's finest properties.
Greenwich's Belle Haven, Round Hill Road, and Conyers Farm set a material specification standard that filters through Darien, New Canaan, Westport, and the full Fairfield County corridor. The Mediterranean Revival and English Manor estate architecture that defines the finest Greenwich properties finds a historically resonant material complement in authentic Moroccan and Mediterranean tilework. Our full collection is regularly specified for Greenwich and Fairfield County projects.
The historic stone manor houses of Tuxedo Park, the Italian villa estates of Irvington and Tarrytown, and the Beaux-Arts and Mediterranean Revival compounds of Old Westbury and Sands Point represent a residential tradition whose architectural DNA reaches directly into the same craft culture as our handmade Moroccan tile. For Westchester and Long Island Gold Coast projects, specifying authentic zellige is not a trend — it is an act of architectural fidelity.
The Hudson Valley's extraordinary residential transformation — from pastoral to architecturally ambitious — has produced a design-conscious estate market in Rhinebeck, Millbrook, Chatham, and the Columbia County countryside that regularly specifies our collections. The particular quality of Hudson Valley light, the warm palette of the valley landscape, and the authentic craft character of zellige and terracotta make these materials a natural choice for Hudson Valley pools and outdoor living spaces.
Full-floor Tribeca penthouses with private plunge pools, Park Avenue co-ops with rooftop terraces, West Village townhouses with enclosed garden pools — Manhattan's private pool is among the rarest and most prestigious residential features that money can acquire. In these rarefied settings, only a material of genuine provenance and cultural authority belongs alongside the other material decisions these owners have made. Moroccan zellige from Fez is that material.
From the Rumson waterfront estates and the Navesink River compounds to the Short Hills corridor and the equestrian estates of Far Hills, New Jersey's luxury residential markets operate within the same global design culture as the Hamptons and Greenwich. The New Jersey Shore's Atlantic coastal environment — brilliant light, salt air, intense summer UV — creates the precise conditions under which zellige's mineral-glass glaze performs at its most extraordinary.
The northeastern United States presents the most demanding set of outdoor tile performance requirements in America. Where Florida demands UV stability, New York adds the decisive challenge of freeze-thaw cycling — the annual thermal stress that destroys lesser ceramic tile over time, and against which only genuinely high-fired, dense-bodied tile performs without compromise.
Moroccan zellige is fired at temperatures above 1,000°C in the traditional wood-fired kilns of Fez — producing a ceramic body of such density that the material has demonstrated freeze-thaw durability across the harsh winters of northern Morocco and the Atlas Mountains for more than eight centuries. This is not a material tested in a laboratory for northeastern conditions. It is a material that has proven itself in them, across a timeframe that no manufacturer's warranty can begin to approximate.
Every tile produced to order by master craftsmen in the medina of Fez. No catalog inventory, no generic stock. For Hamptons and Greenwich homeowners whose entire residential specification is approached at this level of care, a pool tile made specifically for their estate is not an indulgence. It is the only correct standard.
New York's winter freeze-thaw cycle is the most demanding material performance test in the luxury pool market. Our high-fired ceramic bodies demonstrate genuine freeze-thaw resistance — not through laboratory certification alone, but through eight centuries of performance in the harsh winters of northern Morocco and the Atlas Mountains.
Deep Atlantic navy, Hamptons sea-glass, coastal pewter, warm Catskill amber, Hudson Valley sage, and antique ivory — our glaze collection maps directly onto the color vocabulary of the northeastern landscape, integrating with the East End and Connecticut shore with the authority of genuine environmental belonging.
The mineral glazes on our zellige are fired glass — not synthetic coatings. Under the Hamptons' summer UV conditions, they do not fade, chalk, or deteriorate. This is not a marketing claim — it is a consequence of the same firing chemistry that has kept zellige tile looking extraordinary in demanding climates for eight centuries.

Yes — and the freeze-thaw question is the most technically significant one for any New York pool tile specification. Moroccan zellige is fired at temperatures above 1,000°C in the traditional wood-fired kilns of Fez — a process that produces a ceramic body of genuine density and structural integrity. It demonstrates freeze-thaw resistance in the harsh winters of northern Morocco and the Atlas Mountains — winters that compare favorably to those of Connecticut and Long Island in terms of thermal stress.
We recommend our team review your specific project conditions — waterline exposure, pool winter treatment protocol, and regional climate data — and we provide precise installation guidance to ensure correct specification for northeastern freeze-thaw conditions. Properly specified and installed, our zellige and high-fired ceramic collections perform in northeastern pools without compromise, season after season.
The northeast's color palette is one of the most distinctive in the country — the silver-blue of the Atlantic, the warm cream and grey of Hamptons shingles, the deep green of mature estate landscapes, the warm amber of Hudson Valley autumns, and the soft slate of a Connecticut shoreline. Our collection offers glaze finishes that respond to all of these: deep Atlantic cobalt, Hamptons sea-glass, coastal pewter, warm ivory, slate grey, and Hudson amber.
For contemporary modernist properties — the glass-and-steel compounds on the Atlantic in East Hampton or the architect-designed residences of Pound Ridge — a single restrained glaze in pale sand or soft grey creates a sophisticated, understated statement. For properties with Mediterranean Revival, Italian, or Spanish Colonial architecture, a richer cobalt or terracotta zellige is the historically resonant choice. We strongly encourage evaluating samples in your specific northeast light before committing.
Every order is produced to order in Fez, Morocco, with typical production and shipping lead times of 6–10 weeks from confirmed order to delivery at your property. For Hamptons projects targeting completion before the Memorial Day opening of the summer season — the most critical delivery window in the northeastern luxury pool market — we recommend placing orders no later than mid-February. Early planning is the only certain guarantee of on-time delivery for the summer season.
Yes. We have an established trade program for New York architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and luxury pool contractors working in the Hamptons, Greenwich, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Manhattan, and throughout the Tri-State area. Trade members receive dedicated project support, full access to our technical specification library, and preferred pricing on qualifying northeastern orders. We welcome inquiries from design and construction professionals at any level of project scale.
The Italianate, Mediterranean Revival, and Beaux-Arts estate architecture of Westchester's finest communities — Tuxedo Park, Irvington, Bronxville, Purchase — and the great Gilded Age compounds of Long Island's Gold Coast were designed and built by architects who drew directly on the same Mediterranean and Andalusian design tradition as our handcrafted tile collections. The Moorish and Spanish craft cultures that produced zellige, hand-painted ceramic, and geometric mosaic are the original source of the ornamental vocabulary used by McKim, Mead & White and their contemporaries in the design of these estates. Specifying authentic handcrafted Moroccan tile is an act of architectural fidelity — a restoration of the material standards for which these properties were originally conceived.
Yes. Manhattan rooftop pools, interior plunge pools, spa installations, and decorative fountain features are a distinct and important part of our project portfolio. The considerations for urban interior pool specification differ from those of outdoor estate pools — waterproofing system compatibility, structural load constraints, and acoustic considerations all become relevant — and our team has experience navigating each of them in the context of Tribeca, Park Avenue, and West Village projects. We are happy to consult on specific Manhattan project conditions and provide technical specification support for your contractor or design team.
We work with homeowners and design professionals across the Hamptons, Greenwich, Westchester, Hudson Valley, Manhattan, and every distinguished New York address. Every inquiry receives a personal response within one business day.
