What To Look For in a Party Hot Tub
When choosing a hot tub for your backyard, it is important to consider what you’re going to be using it for. Is it mainly going to be for relaxing? Or do you plan to host a party and invite friends and family over? If the latter is your choice there are some important considerations to make when shopping for a hot tub. Let’s take a look at what to look for in a party hot tub:
Size
When hosting friends and family for a hot tub party, you want to ensure they are as comfortable as possible. No one has fun in a cramped space with barely any room to move.
If you intend to host hot tub parties, stray away from any 2-3 people hot tub options. Make sure you are browsing hot tubs that have a seating capacity of 5-9 people.
Hydrotherapy Jets
A hot tub with many massage jets is a great option for a party. Choose a hot tub with seats that have a different configuration of jets, providing a personalized massage for each guest’s back, shoulders, arms, and legs.
This way your guests won’t just be having fun but will also be relaxed.
Seating
The seating for a party hot tub is essential. You want to make sure that the hot tub seats or loungers are angled for easy conversation. Bench seating is also convenient for hosting a large group of people.
Lighting
When planning a party, you want to have the right ambiance. A well-lit hot tub will not only ensure visibility and safety for the guests but also create a vibrant and upbeat atmosphere.
Choose a hot tub that has LED or underwater lighting to set the mood for a hot tub party.
Sound System
No party is complete without music! A hot tub with a Bluetooth or sound system can provide you with music to keep the party going. Choose a hot tub with an additional sound system or consider installing this feature later.
Additional Features
No amount of features is too much for a hot tub party. Whether it’s a water fountain or colorful lights, different features can keep a party upbeat and entertaining.
Many hot tubs come with a built-in ice tray to keep your drinks close and cool and your guests happy and satisfied.
