With travel upheaval, endless rail strikes, and airport chaos all impeding the chance of a relaxing getaway this Summer and Autumn, our clients are always on the lookout for new ways of turning their own back garden into a luxury resort.
Short of hiring your own butler and installing an at-home bar, one of the best things to do for your outside space this year is buy a hot tub – paying attention to placement, where you install your hot tub, and what kind of experience it offers before, during, and after use.
Why buy your own hot tub?
Not only will having your own hot tub turn you into the talk of the neighbourhood, but it will also elevate those dinner parties and BBQs you host, and will give you the perfect place to relax after a stressful day, after intense exercise, or simply as part of your Sunday self-care routine.
For those who utilise a hot tub as part of their regular routine, the benefits are clear. With studies suggesting that hot tubs lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety and stress, minimise inflammation and pain across your joints and muscles, and even promote weight loss and better sleep, when you invest in a hot tub you invest in your own health and wellbeing.
Creating your own backyard resort
To successfully install a hot tub into your back garden or outdoor space, there are a number of factors you need to consider.
The first of these is placement. While the team at Hot Tub Barn are skilled in delivering and installing hot tubs across all manner of locations, from the smallest gardens to the narrowest areas of patio or decking, making sure that your hot tub is in a safe and secure location for your own use is key. That means making sure the route from house to hot tub is safe underfoot, that the surrounding surface is not a slip hazard, and that the things falling from trees onto your head is low.
Another thing you need to consider is year-round storage. Unless you opt for an inflatable hot tub solution, you will need to find a space which your hot tub can occupy all year round without getting in the way and without damaging the surroundings.
Finally, how can you further elevate the surrounding space to really allow yourself to revel in some at-home luxury? From garden décor and accessories to the installation of a speaker and outdoor lights to enhance that spa experience, think outside of the box (or the hot tub) to really create that dreamy resort vibe.
