With Memorial Day approaching, hot tubs and deals on hot tubs are heating up. If you want to turn summer hosting up a notch, now is the perfect time to invest in a spa. If you’re ready to purchase a hot tub and turn it into a world-class private resort, consider implementing these six optimizations for your spa this summer.
Make the Most of Your Hot Tub This Summer
Keep It Cool
While you may think hot tubs are strictly for brisk winter nights, you can turn yours into a summer escape, perfect for you and your guests.
Usually, the best temperature in winter is 102°F – 104°F. However, in summer, you can enjoy a refreshing soak in your hot tub at 85°F to 95°F. This crisp temperature setting will let you enjoy the hybrid of a spa and a pool without the icy shock you’d feel when dipping in the pool. At this temperature, you can relax and enjoy the evening while simultaneously sipping on a cool cocktail after a day of gardening, golf, or work.
Incorporate the Perfect Soundscapes
What would entertaining be without sound? If you are looking for a way to optimize your hot tub this summer, another way to do it is to add music. Adding waterproof Bluetooth speakers will allow you and your guests to escape your worries while listening to some of your favorite oldies. Or, while enjoying a beautiful, clear night, you can relax, listening to white noise or tropical sounds, and immerse yourself in a full therapeutic wonderland.
Refresh with Aromatherapy
In addition to relaxing music, it’s a good idea to add a refreshing scent to the mix. Instead of the heavy musks you would typically reach for in winter, this summer, reach for refreshing scents like mint, citrus, and lemongrass to add to your sanctuary. Adding botanical scents to your hot tub this summer will go a long way toward elevating your spa experience, turning it from a simple soak into a full-scale, professional-grade hydrotherapy session.
Add Ambient Lighting
If you’ve been entertaining all day, you don’t have to stop the fun after sunset. Adding the right lighting can enhance the evening’s ambiance, along with aromatherapy and music. Consider draping a few string lights above your tub and around your patio. Or, add a few LED planters around your tub and patio to increase the light and keep the party going.
Soften the Experience
If you want to elevate your spa experience even further, consider incorporating the soft details of a five-star resort, such as Turkish robes and plush bath towels. If the summer nights are too muggy for heavy robes, another option is a lightweight kimono or bamboo sarong. Soft or breathable options will help make your spa experience a world-class one, whether you’re hosting on a brisk evening in May or a toasty evening in July.
Have Some Fun
Your spa experience shouldn’t be so serious that you forget to have some fun. Sure, relaxation should be your primary goal, but live a little. Another way to elevate your hot tub experience is by sprinkling in some fun. One way to do this is to add some waterproof games with pieces made of pure vinyl or plastic. Here are a few options to consider.
● Backgammon
● Checkers
● Chess
● Uno
● Playing Cards
Other thrilling games could include telling urban legends, watching movies, playing with an inflatable ball, or stargazing.
Safety Reminder
While it may be tempting to break out the bubbly while in the hot tub, you should refrain or at least ensure you have plenty of drinking water at your disposal. Alcohol, even wine or champagne, can cause rapid dehydration while soaking in the hot tub.
This could increase the chances of you or your guests fainting or quickly getting intoxicated. Remember to drink responsibly and use high-quality acrylic or silicone glassware to avoid the risk of broken glass.
