What size spa do you need? A guide to seats, space and layout

Start with how you'll use it

Think about who will use the spa most of the time, rather than the biggest group you might have over once or twice a year. A couple relaxing after work and a family of five need different things, and the largest capacity isn't automatically the best choice.

Measure the space, then add room around it

Compare each spa's full dimensions with your prepared space. Footprints in our current range include 1750 x 1750 mm for a compact two-seat corner spa, up to 2500 x 2200 mm for our largest model.

The footprint is only the starting point. Allow room for:

• The spa steps, which come with every spa
• Opening and storing the spa cover, which also comes with every spa
• Getting to the spa for servicing
• Walking comfortably around the spa

All-seater or lounger?

An all-seater layout suits groups who want to sit upright and talk. A lounger gives one person room to stretch out, and a twin lounger does the same for two. If you'll mostly use your spa alone or as a couple, a lounger may suit you better than extra seats.

Compare the seating layout of each model as well as the seat count, because two spas with the same number of seats can feel quite different in use.

Check the size against your access

A bigger spa needs a bigger delivery route. For online standard-access checkout, the route needs at least 1,000mm of clear width, and clear vertical height at least 50mm greater than the spa's width. A spa that's 2100 mm wide, for example, needs at least 2150 mm of clear height along the whole route.

If the spa you like won't fit the route, ask us about your access before ruling it out. Non-standard access may be possible with extra handling or equipment, at an additional cost that we'd quote first.

Plan for the weight and local rules

A larger spa holds more water, so it's heavier when filled. The base must be level and rated for the filled weight including occupants, which matters most if the spa is going on a deck. We'll confirm the filled weight for your chosen model before delivery.

Spa fencing and barrier requirements vary by location, so check what applies to your property before you finalise the position.

Compare your shortlist

Once you know your space and how you'll use the spa, compare models by seats, layout, dimensions and price. Our team can also help you check the specifications before you choose.
