What’s not to enjoy about soaking in the hot tub with your partner? That said, there’s a big difference between unwinding together in the hot tub after work versus a hot tub date. If you want to plan the ultimate date night, follow these 9 essential hot tub date night secrets for guaranteed success!
Set the Stage
If you want the night to be really special, a little pre-planning is called for!
- Music – a romantic playlist is a must! If love ballads aren’t your thing, a playlist of songs significant to your relationship or a band you saw together works just as well.
- Lights – the porch light is not the vibe you’re looking for here! String twinkle lights overhead, set out candles or torches, or line the walkway with luminaries for a special touch.
- Drinks – make sure to refrigerate bottles of water, fruit juice, or a special cocktail (non-alcoholic preferred) in advance. We don’t usually recommend drinking alcohol while using your hot tub, but if you do choose to, keep it to a single glass of wine or champagne because the heat of the water increases blood flow, meaning, the alcohol will seem more potent and dehydrate you faster.
- Food – fruit and cheese, chocolate-covered strawberries, mini desserts or mini sandwiches are all great options for hot tub date night snacks.
- Scents – consider adding hot tub-approved aromatherapy products to the water for a sensual experience.
During Your Soak
- Massage – your partner is sure to appreciate a massage and if you’re lucky, they’ll return the favor!
- Star-gazing – Whatever lights you use to set the mood will only be enhanced by nature’s addition. Look for constellations, watch for shooting stars, or just lie in each other’s arms and enjoy the starry night.
- Games – grab a set of water-proof playing cards, play a classic like “twenty questions”, or laugh through a game of rubber ducky racing.
- Enjoy some intimate conversation – the most important part of any hot tub date night is that you spend quality time together, focused only on each other. So, for the evening, forget who’s driving which kid to their extracurricular activity and what’s happening at work. Instead, talk about your dreams, goals, and the things you love to do together. And if the conversation turns to whispering sweet nothings in each other’s ears, all the better!
