After feeling the luxury of resort spas and their hot tub access, you may have decided to bring the vacation into your own backyard with the purchase of a hot tub. While the hot tub alone provides a lot of relaxation and comfort, resorts will often use other décor and design elements to elevate the experience.
As you choose the location for your new hot tub, learn some of the ways you can replicate a resort’s design and have your own personal oasis. The ideas range from hot tub features to décor elements you use around the hot tub.
1. Bathrobes & Coat Racks
Many resorts offer their guests bathrobes for hot tub use. A bathrobe provides comfort and warmth for all the times when you’re not in the hot tub. You could purchase replica bathrobes from your favorite resort or choose to customize your own bathrobe. With your own bathrobe, you could pick the color, style, and whether you want anything embroidered on the design.
For example, you could have your first-name initial embroidered on the front chest pocket area. Along with the bathrobe, consider adding a free-standing coat rack to the hot tub area. A free-standing coat rack allows you to hang up your bathrobe right before you get into the hot tub.
You could also use the rack to hang your towel for easy access when you get out of the tub. You do not need to put your towel on a random surface or worry about being cold for too long when everything is right within reach outside the tub.
2. Plants & Greenery
Resorts will often enhance the views of a hot tub with some plants and greenery. The plants add a more natural feel to the hot tub, whether you enjoy the spa indoors or outdoors. Choose some greenery to surround your own hot tub and feel closer to nature each time you soak in the water.
If you want less maintenance, then consider the use of artificial plants. With artificial plants, you have more ways to get creative with your designs. For example, if you live in a cold climate, you could choose tropical artificial plants that replicate warmer weather locations.
Artificial plants also eliminate the need for pruning, watering, or general maintenance. You can enjoy the views without leaves or sticks falling into the hot tub water.
3. Speakers & Music
A resort spa relaxes the senses in multiple ways. For their guests’ sense of hearing, resorts rely on calming music to relax guests. Choose your own playlist of music with multiple audio options. For example, you could purchase a hot tub with speakers built into the hot tub itself.
Resorts also rely on hidden musical elements. Products like rock speakers or flat wall speakers can provide music without an obvious speaker placement. Bluetooth speakers will give you direct connections to music options from devices like a phone. Choose what type of speaker you want and surround the hot tub with music.
4. Rolling Carts
Resorts will often feature employees who offer needs and supplies for guests in hot tub areas. While you probably cannot afford your own hot tub assistant, you can enjoy a little extra luxury with a rolling cart. Place a rolling cart right up next to the hot tub area. In some cases, you may use a rolling cart for snacks, drinks, and treats.
In other cases, you may use a cart for hot tub accessories. For example, you may want access to a small washcloth to soak and place over your eyes. You could load a cart with spa accessories like lotions or hot tub salts. You could set up candles on the top of the cart and light them to create nice scents and scenery.
Choose a cart with a height similar to the hot tub so you can easily grab items. Once done, you can roll the cart right back into your home or pool house area.
5. Advanced Hot Tub Features
When you order the hot tub itself, look for features that you find at many resorts. One of the newer features includes injecting the spa water with millions of bubbles. Emersion into these tiny bubbles help relax the skin and provide a luxurious spa treatment.
A hot tub may feature a wide range of advanced jets. Jets that massage neck to toe with advanced settings and different speed rates. Add to the atmosphere of the hot tub with built-in lights in the hot tub. The lights will illuminate the water and create a peaceful atmosphere when you use the hot tub at night.
