If you’re looking to buy a new hot tub, you may be wondering what size you’ll need. If space is not an issue, and you can fit any size hot tub in your home or backyard, you’ll have a lot of options available to you. Before you decide what size hot tub is best for you, there are a couple things you’ll want to consider.

How Many People Will Be Using it?

Some people want a hot tub simply to relax and spend time alone with that special someone. If you only plan on fitting 2-4 people in your spa, a small one might be the best option for you. It will take up less space and will be more intimate, as well as more affordable.

If you’re planning on having a lot of friends or relatives over who enjoy a good soak, you might want to consider a medium or large spa. Generally speaking, medium-sized spas fit about 5-6 people, while large spas can seat 7 or more. Depending on how many people you plan on hosting, find one that has enough seating capacity to accommodate all of your loved ones.

What Will You Be Using it For?

Hot tubs are a great way to get exercise, relax and relieve stress, benefit from exceptional hydrotherapy, or simply entertain guests. Decide what your primary reason for buying a spa is before you figure out what size you need. 

If you mostly want to use it for exercise, consider a swim spa. Swim spas are a great way to get a full workout and recovery from your own backyard. You’ll also get all the great benefits of owning a swimming pool and a hot tub in a smaller package!

If you want a hot tub to entertain your family and friends, you’re probably better off getting one with a larger seating capacity. You won’t want anyone feeling left out when everyone’s enjoying their soak and there aren’t any seats left.
