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!
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.
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!
