Riptide Spas Tranquility Uptown

Seats 5

WhatSpa? Verdict

Riptide® Spas followed up on its remarkable success in the swim spa arena with its launch into the hot tub market in 2016. A growing network of stores under the Hot Tub Barn umbrella now retail Riptide® Spas models, which have been completely upgraded for 2021. For those wanting the convenience and low running costs of a good quality, family-sized acrylic 13-amp ‘plug & play’ hot tub, the Tranquility Uptown is just the ticket! The Uptown is a spacious five-seater with comfortable lounger plus a range of barrier-free seats, all with different rotary or directional jets. Sure to be a top seller again this year and the three-year warranty is a rare luxury!

Caldera Spas Vacanza Series Marino

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

The Marino by Caldera Spas® is an eight-time Best Buy Award-winner and is the smaller sibling to the Palatino, both of which are best-selling models in the Vacanza Series of six models. Like the Palatino, the Marino oozes quality, with a stylish ergonomically sculpted shell, a beautifully contoured lounge seat and roomy non-slip footwell. Barrier-free seating makes moving from seat to seat easy and finishing touches like the Acquarella waterfall ensure a sensory experience that is guaranteed to relax! Built in Spa Frog® tops off the package for easy water maintenance. An amazing spa by a manufacturer of good repute!

Artesian Spas Artesian Elite Dove Canyon

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

The new ELITE range by Artesian Spas has really raised the bar for this Las Vegas-based manufacturer. The bright lights of Vegas are reflected in their latest design cues and the ELITE range delivers with an awe-inspiring after dark light show with an array of underwater and exterior lighting plus backlit water fountains and a branded 20-inch waterfall. The scope of the specification and design is also first rate, particularly the unique Direct Flow® system, which puts each bather in control of their own massage experience. The lounger with armrests is super comfortable and Spa Frog® tops off the high-end spec on the best-selling ELITE Dove Canyon.

Hot tubs are becoming a key investment choice for families wanting to enhance their home enjoyment, rather than risk the ramifications of dealing with travel doubt due to Brexit and the Coronavirus health concerns.

A famous quote states that ‘knowledge is power’ and our ‘Best Buys’ will provide you with extra product knowledge as a guide to draw up your shortlist of hot tub choices. Thanks to the enhanced consumer knowledge, the attraction of unreliable and sometimes cut price grey imports sold over the internet is subsiding. And an increasing number of discerning consumers are buying quality hot tubs from specialist stores, which provides bona fide products and quality showroom customer service, backup and support.

There are currently some fantastic deals to be had from some of the market-leading brands, so if you are thinking of investing in a luxury hot tub, be sure to throw your bathing costumes in the car and ‘try before you buy’ at a selection of your local showrooms.
