Welcome to our gallery featuring a large selection of beautiful patios in stone, tile, or wood. Each patio in this collection is covered, which lends them certain benefits over uncovered patios.
A patio consists of a paved outdoor space adjoining to the residence used for dining or recreation. Depending on the size of your patio, you may be able to include large architectural elements, like the fireplace in the image above.
The above patio is a lovely two-sectioned patio consisting of a fireside wicker seating area and a dining area complete with an outdoor kitchen, which is tucked almost out of view behind the massive fireplace. Archways act as portals to the sunny extension of the patio, which has a fantastic waterfront view and is perfect for sunbathing.
Many iterations will contain large ceiling fans to help keep the hot air circulating and prevent the covered or sheltered area from feeling stuffy. Covered patios attached to the residence often don’t get the benefit of a cool breeze, so the fans are absolutely necessary, and a great boon.
Throughout this gallery, you’ll see a number of different styles, including Old World Spanish style patios, patios with archways and columns, small, intimate patios in the midst of lush gardens, or even more modern elevated terrace patios encased in glass balustrades.
You may also notice the types of furniture that are most popular for patios, like wicker seating or glass-topped dining and coffee tables.
Keep an eye out for the more luxurious patios that turn an outdoor space into a three-season entertainment room filled with all the soft fabrics and colors typically associated with indoor spaces.
We hope that by perusing this luxurious gallery of covered patios, you’ll be inspired to renovate and spend a little more time outside, enjoying the fresh air this summer.
See the floor plan for the above house here. The above is an example of a huge covered patio akin to it being another room extended from the house with a full outdoor kitchen, dining area and lounge.
The above two covered patios are both part of this luxurious house. There are patios on both levels and as you can see in the second photo, one spans the entire width of the house.
This incredibly spacious covered patio features a small outdoor kitchen, a large formal dining table and a cozy wicker seating area in front of a massive plaster and stone fireplace. Through the series of elegant archways we can see the waterfront and a collection of tropical palms swaying in the breeze. Wrought iron pendant lighting along with a few pot lights keep this space well lit into the night.
This pitted stone patio over looks a large golf course with some tall palms off in the distance. Wicker patio furniture with foliage and paisley patterns provide a comfortable area from which to enjoy intimate conversation or relax and feel the cool breeze coming off the water.
As we view this cozy seating area from another view, we can enjoy the beach and water below. This private patio has nothing to fear from the lack of privacy foliage as its nearest neighbors are on the other side of the bay.
This open air covered patio rests in front of seamless windows and faces an inner courtyard in natural thin-plank wood decking. An inner courtyard is an elegant way to spend time outside while still enjoying utter privacy and avoiding any strong winds.
Covered patios don’t have to mean you miss out on the sunshine above. This patio rests beneath a glass roof, allowing sunshine to filter through without subjecting the owners to any inclement weather.

Even small patios can be a great spot. This patio is topped by a pergola with thick trailing vines creating a blanket over the furniture. A small wrought iron firepit acts as a source of light and heat as the evening begins to cool down. The abundance of foliage and flowers provide both shade and privacy from any close neighbors.
From a little further away, we can see the second pergola of this patio, which isn’t as covered in foliage as the one to the rear of the image. These two areas are perfect for different situations; the shaded pergola is best on a hot day when all you want is shade, and the uncovered pergola when sunshine is what you’d prefer.
This lovely covered patio is also a three-season room with removable glass. The immense stone fireplace is both a statement piece and serves the function of providing warmth and atmosphere on a cold day. This patio is elevated and looks out on the forest, which gives it the air of a luxurious treehouse.
This simple but elegant stone mosaic patio is covered by a warm-toned natural wood pergola. Since this dining area is perched on the edge of a small cliff, glass balustrades enclose the area on three sides. A pergola is a wonderful way to cover an existing patio at a lesser cost than extending a section of roof.
This screened in patio has an enormous arched wooden ceiling with ample skylights. A screen door lead outside to another small patio area with a grill. A stone privacy wall helps shield this entertaining area from the neighbors.

As a more modestly sized stone patio, layout is incredibly important.

This aged patio sits beneath a wood and stone shelter. Antique terra cotta planters add greener to the front, while the other three sides are surrounded by tall shaped hedges.
At night, this fabric-covered wooden shelter is the last bastion of light in the backyard. The combination of light wood sofas with black wicker dining chairs creates a sharp separation between the two functions of the seating arrangements.
As light shines down on this pergola, it creates an eye-popping shadow pattern on the wicker dining set and living room seating arrangement. Uncommonly, a television and entertainment center is kept in this outdoor area. This is probably due to the large shades that can be drawn to enclose the space in case of inclement weather.
Glass balustrades rise to almost meet the top of the wooden pergola above this terrace. An open-top lengthy fireplace/fire pit provides warmth and ambiance to this light wood and wicker enclosed terrace overlooking the sea.
