Vortex Spas Mercury

Seats 5

WhatSpa? Verdict

When Olympic gold medallist and swimming icon Ian Thorpe became a brand ambassador for Vortex Spas, it was obvious that this was a brand on the move! The 2019 launch of the award-winning IKON model paved the way in the UK for the back-to-back award-winning Mercury and its stablemates that were new for 2020. The dual-lounger Mercury is the smaller sibling to the award-winning Cobalt Hydroplus and is Vortex’s best-selling compact family spa. The Mercury comes packed to the rafters with equipment including a 24-hour circulation pump, air blower, touch screen control panel and a Bluetooth® stereo system. Incredible!

Sundance Spas 880 Series Optima

Seats 7

WhatSpa? Verdict

The 880 Series Sundance Spas® Optima is proclaimed as the best-selling hot tub in the world and it is no stranger to our Best Buy awards, boasting the most awards since 2007. The Fluidix® bearingless jet technology is unsurpassed in delivering maintenance-free hydrotherapeutic massage and for deep tissue massage the Accu-ssage® therapy seat is second to none. What’s more, the foot jet dome undoubtedly offers one of the best reflexology massages this side of a spa treatment room. MicroClean® Ultra filtration ensures crystal clear water and the new cabinetry is stunning. Quite simply the Optima® is one of the best all-seaters on the planet!

ABC Example Mnfr Artesian Elite Pelican Bay

Seats 9

WhatSpa? Verdict

The Artesian Spas ELITE Pelican Bay packs all the same punch as its smaller siblings, just on a much bigger scale! It's a huge family spa that has to be seen to be appreciated! With the launch of the ELITE Series, Artesian Spas thoroughly deserve their position in the luxury spa premier league. The Pelican Bay is a stunning eight-seater including a comfortable lounge seat. 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. If you believe that 'size matters', the Pelican Bay certainly doesn't sacrifice performance for the sake of size!

Marquis Vector21 - V84L

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

The state-of-the-art design lines of the Vector range by Oregon-based Marquis® really delivers an ultra-modern twist, transporting us to the space-aged future of hot tub design. This V84L six-seater lounger model really delivers a flow and 'force to be reckoned with' through the V-O-L-T hydrotherapy system delivered via 36 uniquely designed interchangeable JetPods. Swapping Jetpod inserts from one seat to another is quick and easy and the optional MicroSilk® oxygen skin therapy technology delivers the ultimate package for health and beauty-conscious spa buyers. If you're a sci-fi fan, the Vectors are sure to hit the spot!

Be Well Spas Executive Vancouver

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

With a name like ‘Be Well’ you would expect this Canadian company to deliver a product range with a hydrotherapeutic performance worthy of the very best; luckily the Vancouver delivers in spades with a neck-to-toe lounge seat massage to die for! Besides feeling great, it looks awesome, featuring a unique scalloped front and rear design unlike no other spa, plus an array of lighting that rivals all-comers after dusk falls. All the latest technology comes as standard, including a WiFi touch screen control panel, Bluetooth® stereo system with subwoofer, and back-lit jets and topside controllers. A true show-stopper!
