Outdoor Spa Bath

Imagine coming home after a long day at work and dipping yourself into a warm, bubbly bath in your backyard. You won't have to wait for the weekend to book a spa appointment anymore-you can enjoy an authentic spa experience right in the comfort of your home, anytime you're free. This is the beauty of having an outdoor spa bath. It allows you to get some fresh air while staying cosy instead of cooping yourself up in the bathroom and maybe even invite friends for a relaxing soak. 

An outdoor spa bath can be placed in your backyard, garden, or on your deck. You can choose whatever type of outdoor spa you want as well. There are spas that need to be installed, portable spas, and blow up spas. Each type has its own pros and cons, so make sure you know which one fits best depending on your individual preferences and the type of outdoor setting you have in your home. 

What Are the Benefits of an Outdoor Spa Bath?

Aside from being able to enjoy different sceneries, an outdoor spa bath is the perfect bonding spot for family and friends. Need to catch up on some quality time with your spouse? A 2 person spa would be great to soak in while enjoying a glass of wine. If you have a bigger crowd, a 6 person spa is would be more suitable to accommodate everyone comfortably. 

Soaking in an outdoor spa bath also provides stress relief. Most spas have massage jets that help relieve muscle tension and soothe pain caused by stiffness or arthritis. Studies even show that a quick dip in the spa improves sleep quality and was even used as a treatment for insomnia in older adults. 

Hot tubs provide a lot more health benefits, including better cardiovascular health. Soaking in a warm bath can contribute in lowering blood pressure, especially for people with limited ability to exercise. It has been proven to have positive effects on vascular function and aids in burning calories as well. 

How Much Will an Outdoor Spa Bath Cost You?

The overall expenses you will incur from an outdoor spa bath depend on what type of spa you're going to get. We've categorised the options you have here together with their estimated prices and advantages to help you out.

Hard-shell Spa: Wooden spas or anything made with hard material usually start at $2500. This can still go up depending on the features you want to have and the installation costs too. A bigger, hard-shell outdoor spa bath price can even go as high as $30,000 especially if a lot of groundwork has to be done for the setup. 

This type of hot tub is mostly ideal for those who go on regular dips. It's the sturdiest out of all kinds of spa but requires a lot of maintenance too, such as regular cleaning and checking of parts. Another problem with this is that they're more vulnerable to damage during harsh weather conditions since they are fixed and cannot be transferred somewhere safer. 

Portable spa: These are hard-shell spas too, but unlike the first one, they are not fixed on the ground. They require a bit of installation but the best part is you can easily move them from one place to another. Portable spas are priced almost the same as fixed spas. Their cost would probably be just a tad lower because a lesser setup process is needed. 

Inflatable spa: Inflatable spas are the best option if you want to save up. These are considered portable spas too since you can easily pack them up, inflate them, and deflate them again once you're done. A blow up spa ranges from $800 to $3,000. They're priced lower yet offer the same benefits as a hard-shell spa and are available in different sizes as well. 

An inflatable spa needs extra care before, during, and after setup though. Their number one problem is the risk of punctures plus wear and tear with years of use. Aside from making sure you place it on a smooth surface, you can also buy spa accessories for maintenance like filter cartridges and spa covers.

Is An Outdoor Spa Bath Worth the Money?

A fixed outdoor spa bath is worth the money if you plan on using it on a daily basis. This can be expensive not just because of the installation but in terms of electricity as well, so it's not really recommended unless you have the money to sustain it. If you really want to avail an outdoor spa bath without breaking the bank, the best suggestion would be to go for inflatable spas. 

Opting for an inflatable spa is perfect for occasional use. You can simply take it out if you need a warming soak and store it neatly again after use. A lot of blow up spas have built-in pumps designed for quick and easy inflation, so setup won't be a problem as well. It gives you the best of both worlds-an instant spa when you need it and the space you originally have at home when you're done using it. The best part is you didn't even take out that much from your pocket!
