Coast Spas Classic Series Element B 50

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

A favourite in the Coast Spas line up, the Classic Element B 50 is a versatile all-seater. With multi-level seating benefiting from bench-style seats (where you can swivel to lounge without a lounger taking up two seats in the spa), a higher cool down seat and wrap-around bucket seats, plus steps into the spa making this model perfect for all of the family. This spa also has a great hydrotherapy feature called 'tactile therapy' which are massage nodules in the bottom of the seats and the large footwell, these provide a kneading shiatsu massage effect. With a large footwell, backlit waterfalls, drinks holders and wrap-around headrests this model has it all!

Artesian Spas Artesian Elite Pelican Bay

Seats 9

WhatSpa? Verdict

The Artesian Spas Elite Pelican Bay packs all the same punch as its smaller sibling the Elite Eagle Crest, 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!

Jacuzzi J-335 IP

Seats 5

WhatSpa? Verdict

Since its launch the J-335 IP by leading brand Jacuzzi^® is really giving the 400 series lounger models a run for their money. If it's hydrotherapy you're after, the J-335 IP features a re-modelled ProAir lounge seat design with hamstring to achilles massage and a trio of spacious corner bucket seats, including an FX10 therapy seat, which is designed to massage every major muscle group in the back. The new unique Hydrosoothe^™ massage pillow also delivers a relaxing neck massage. The new ProFinish^™ cabinet adds designer styling and a whole host of new features include backlit headrests and drinks holders, plus a top quality Bluetooth^® audio system.

Caldera Spas Vacanza Series Marino

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

Caldera Spas^® is one of Watkins Wellness^®' top flight stable of brands, and distributed in the UK by Certikin, one of the most respected names in the British swimming pool and spa industry. The multiple award-winning Marino is one of Caldera's top-selling models in the Vacanza Series. The Marino has a stylish ergonomically sculpted shell 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.

RotoSpa QuatroSpa

Seats 5

WhatSpa? Verdict

The hugely successful QuatroSpa is manufactured here in the UK by Midlands-based company RotoSpa and is made by using a rotational moulding technique using a tough resin, which provides an extremely durable finish accented by attractive synthetic cabinetry. The reclining seat with 15-point ultra-blast jet and a considered functional massage system provides for maximum relaxation. The entry step offers easy access and also doubles as a child seat. It is deceptively spacious and fits through standard doors and gates. At under 13 amps it provides true plug-and-play convenience, just wheel it in, fill it up and plug and play!

Hydropool 670 Platinum

Seats 6

WhatSpa? Verdict

Canadian manufacturer Hydropool is one of the long-established names in the global hot tub market, with an extensive UK presence at high profile consumer shows and exhibitions throughout the year and a network of dealers across the UK. The 670 Platinum is one of Hydropool's best-selling models and is a spacious six-seater spa with unique features such as the 'self cleaning' floor drain system and dual pressurised filtration which cleanses 100 per cent of the water in under 15 minutes. The swivel seat lounger is ingenious and allows two people to lounge at the same time when there are five or less bathers. A rock solid performer!
